How Michigan didn’t let Marvin Harrison Jr. wreck “The Game”

Heading into the Michigan vs. Ohio State matchup, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh knew how hard of a task it would be to cover Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

“He’s a great player. Gotta be covered, you gotta slow him down is probably the better word,” Harbaugh said.

Harrison Jr. did get his licks in against Michigan to the tune of five receptions for 118 yards and one touchdown, but he was slowed down. Further, Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord threw two interceptions while he was targeting Harrison Jr. These interceptions greatly influenced the outcome of the game.
