Michigan’s ‘Clint Eastwood win’ showed this team is ready to brawl

Michigan’s game against Nebraska was a football fight, as head coach Jim Harbaugh likes to put it.

“That was a Clint Eastwood win,” Harbaugh said. We’re gonna enjoy it.”

Michigan won the showdown at sunset just like Eastwood’s famous “Man with No Name” character would have — finding a way, using whatever means necessary. Good, bad, ugly. None of that really matters once the dust settles and you live to see another day with your dreams still in front of you on the trails to Indianapolis.

Football never promises to be pretty, and Michigan gutted it out in Lincoln, winning 32-29 after being up 13-0 at halftime.
