Michigan played their biggest game of the year on Saturday on the road against one of the best defenses in the nation. It was a rowdy atmosphere at Beaver Stadium, but Michigan was able to prevail with a 24-15 win on the road. They did it without head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh was suspended by the Big Ten for the remainder of the regular season on Friday afternoon. The suspension was announced while the team plane was in the air to Penn State. Peculiar timing? Michigan seems to think so.
“Doing so on Veteran’s Day - a court holiday - to try to thwart the University from seeking immediate judicial relief is hardly a profile in impartiality,” Michigan said in a statement on Friday.
