ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Billed as a top 10 matchup where both Michigan football and Penn State would figure out what each team is, we learned that the Wolverines are for real, while the Nittany Lions have some work to do.
PSU had just one first down in the first half, a long run by QB Sean Clifford on a quarterback-read play that set up its first touchdown, but aside from that and a pick-six on a fluky play, the maize and blue beat Penn State in all phases of the game.
Afterward, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh shared his thoughts on the game, including the 412 yards rushing against what was the nation’s No. 5 rushing defense, Mike Hart’s return, and his team’s demeanor after the game.
Here is everything he had to say.
