It shouldn’t be any surprise at this point, but the Michigan starter at QB was just announced for “The Game” and you may as well break out your Rolaids now.

John O’ Korn has been named starter – and Alex Malzone has been named back up – Wilton Speight and Brandon Peters are both in street clothes.
As you know, Peters is out in concussion protocol after he left the game last week against Wisconsin. Peters also did not practice at all this week, according to the pregame radio show.

And with Okorn starting I really regret building my day around the UM game instead of going to @DetroitCityFC Shop Small Saturday and getting upset over lack of sizes over XL. #mgoblue #UTFC pic.twitter.com/uszDaRQ9GN

In just about an hour, Michigan will take the field at the ‘Big House’ against the hated Ohio State Buckeyes. Though Michigan has had a rough season, losing to both Michigan State and Ohio State, beating the Buckeyes would allow Wolverines fans to sleep a little better for the next 365 days.
On Saturday morning, former Wolverine player Chris Wormley tweeted out a photo trolling OSU one final time before ‘The Game’ kicks off.

Dear Mr. Harbaugh,
The biggest tradition that Michigan football has to offer is simple: you simply win games. You’ve followed that simple concept decently this year, carrying an 8-3 record into the final week of the regular season. But, key losses to Penn State, Wisconsin, and Michigan State have made it seem as though this season has been a bit hollow. Although it’s certainly nice to have the eight wins, each time that we’ve geared up throughout the week to watch our team take on a top-flight opponent, we were quite simply let down.
