ALTOONA, Pa. -- Jim Harbaugh says a lot of wacky things that you'll never hear the more conservative James Franklin say, but there was also this no-brainer from Harbaugh on Monday that was absolutely spot on.

"Big, big, big game," Harbaugh said of this week's showdown between No. 10 Penn State and No. 4 Michigan.

Of course it's a big game.

"If anybody was watching football (Sunday) on television, the pro games, seems like every commercial break there was an advertisement for the Michigan-Penn State game," Harbaugh said.
