Noteworthy things Jim Harbaugh said prior to Week 1 against Colorado State

With fall camp wrapped up and the Michigan Wolverines football team’s attention now focused squarely on Colorado State, head coach Jim Harbaugh stepped to the podium Monday for his first press conference of the new season.

As was expected, much of the questions were in reaction to the stunning quarterback announcement this past Saturday in which Harbaugh — appearing on Jon Jansen’s Inside the Huddle podcast — announced Cade McNamara would start against the Rams, while J.J. McCarthy would start next week against the Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors.

“Both have been tremendous quarterbacks,” Harbaugh said on Monday.
