"The development will come from repetition, will come from film study, will come from how hard they work from outside the building, outside of the meeting room, outside of the coaching," Fisch said. "How much can they take from what Coach Har- baugh or Coach Drevno or myself have told them and what can they do with it? "Once we leave the room, how can they get better? To be great, you have to be self-motivated, you have to lead, you have to be confident. You need the people around you to look at you and say, 'I want to play with this guy.' "They all need to develop. Some- body needs to become the guy, and we have time to figure that out." Michigan never announced a start- ing quarterback in 2015, debuting Rudock on the first series of the first game at Utah. U-M could do the same in the fall while the coaches de- termine whether Speight or O'Korn, or a wild card like true freshman Brandon Peters, is the man to lead this offense. "Anyone that wants to edge ahead certainly can," Fisch said with a bit of a laugh. "I tell them that all the time. Anyone that can do that, feel free to do that. But we're not going to force it, and we have decided that right now we're not going to say, 'You're it.' Just keep going, keep competing, keep finding a way. "It always happen. You always find the starter." O'Korn has more experience than any other quarterback on the roster after he started 18 times in his first two years at Houston. PHOTO BY LON HORWEDEL
