College Football World Roasted Michigan for Covering Their Sideline With Flags

Michigan (Organization) College Football Football Maryland (Organization) Ohio State Wolverines Fox

The College Football world found it ironic that No. 3 Michigan football went to great lengths to hide their sideline instructions during their road tilt against Maryland on Saturday.

Leading the game 23–10 late in the first half, the Wolverines who are the subject of sign-stealing allegations, used massive flags in an attempt to block Fox TV cameras from viewing their team instructions. Coach Jim Harbaugh is suspended through the end of the regular season as a result of the allegations.

Fans on social media absolutely roasted the team for the attempt to hide their sideline signals after being accused to stealing opponents signals over the last several seasons.

The Wolverines (10–0, 7–0 Big Ten), who are attempting to remain undefeated, are on the road facing Maryland at SECU Stadium on Saturday ahead of next week’s pivotal showdown against No. 2 Ohio State.
