Michigan Wolverines football coach Jim Harbaugh is back with the team following his self-imposed three-game suspension for alleged recruiting violations. As expected, he returns to a 3-0 team with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in his cross-hairs for Michigan’s Big 10 opener. Jim Harbaugh is the quarterback whisperer and JJ McCarthy could use him now following his 3 interception performance last weekend. During the Jim Harbaugh sabbatical, wide receiver Roman Wilson elevated his game. He has six touchdown catches in three games. Expect more of that between Wilson and McCarthy moving forward.
Jim Harbaugh returns just as the college football season is reaching the 1/3 mark. It’s hard to believe. But, before you know it, this season will be over and we will be arguing about how many Big 10 teams will get into the four-team college football playoff. Almost for sure, the Michigan Wolverines will be part of that conversation. But then what? January and February seem to be the annual Jim Harbaugh-to-the-NFL-conversations. We do wonder what he was thinking during his time away from the game on Saturday afternoons. Is he upset with the NCAA and its hypocrisy? Is he upset with the Michigan administration? Does he still have a burning desire to win a Super Bowl? Only he knows. But right now he is focused on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Meanwhile, as the University of Michigan arch rival Ohio State University prepares for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Saturday, the Buckeyes defense has played at a historic level. We will explore that further. Plus we have the latest news and notes around the Big 10.
Finally, we put out our weekly Big 10 Power Rankings on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.
