South Carolina coach Will Muschamp can remember the first time he took notice of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.
It was when Harbaugh was the starting quarterback for Bo Schembechler’s Wolverines, a career that would end with Harbaugh the leading passer in the history of one of college football’s most storied programs.
“I think he had a 14-year career, was a first-round draft pick, had a great career there, the AFC Championship game (in 1996) against Pittsburgh when he was with the Colts,” Muschamp said Thursday during a news conference to preview Monday’s Outback Bowl, when his Gamecocks (8-4) will take on Harbaugh’s Wolverines (8-4).
