ANN ARBOR, Mich. — It wasn’t a pretty win, but Jim Harbaugh isn’t about to apologize for a win.
Much like in Week 4 in 2022, Michigan football struggled in the Big Ten opener, this time, with Maryland giving the Wolverines everything they could handle. The maize and blue pulled away in the second half by two scores, but with the game getting out of reach, time-wise, the Terps came back with a late score, needing an on-side kick to attempt to get back in to tie or win the game.
But there were some good things. The defense settled in, except for the late drive by Maryland. Blake Corum rushed for 243 yards against his hometown school. The Wolverines had two timely turnovers.
Here is everything Jim Harbaugh said in his postgame press conference.
