After a much-maligned first six years in Ann Arbor, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh finally struck gold — or maize if you will – beating Ohio State for the first time and earning a spot in the College Football Playoff. If some guys standing on 3rd base think they just hit a triple, Harbaugh finally closed his eyes and hit a line drive after striking out multiple times at the plate.
Give Michigan credit for building something last year and finding a way to bully Ohio State in “The Game” last November, but one year does not a tenure make. And even with that, the Wolverines finished the season in embarrassing fashion when Georgia humbled and declawed the Wolverines in the Orange Bowl.
But now, apparently, a little success has gotten to the head of Harbaugh and the program. Despite losing a lot of guys on defense that helped bring khakis back in style in Ann Arbor, Harbaugh is bullish about what his team can do in 2022, even claiming that the ultimate prize is definitely in the cards this fall.
