Shea Patterson's 'toughness, accuracy' stand out to Harbaugh

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh praised quarterback Shea Patterson’s accuracy but said it was his gutty performance in the opening season loss to Notre Dame that stood out.

Harbaugh, making his weekly appearance Wednesday morning on the “Jamie and Stoney” show on 97.1 The Ticket, also took a fan question and even requested another from hosts Mike Stone and Jamie Samuelsen.

He said Patterson, who transferred from Ole Miss last December and made his first start for the Wolverines last Saturday night, has pinpoint accuracy, but Harbaugh said his quarterback’s toughness stood out. Patterson had late-game leg cramping and had to leave the game to be administered an IV.
