The Wolverines coach was asked during an appearance on a Detroit radio station Thursday morning about the fake depth chart Colorado distributed for this weekend’s game against MI.
The Colorado Buffaloes travel to MI to take on the Wolverines at the “Big House” in Ann Arbor. Wilton Speight completed 25 of 37 passes for 312 yards and 4 touchdowns. Bill McCartney, who led Colorado to a national championship in 1990 and is a former MI assistant, said he plans to attend Saturday’s game.
Offensively, Michigan football is averaging 237.7 yards in passing and 158.2 in rushing. For the Buffaloes to have any chance, they need to get out of the gates early, like they have in their first two games of the year.
Colorado has lost 22 consecutive games against ranked opponents, including 11 in a row with MacIntyre, since beating No. 17 Kansas in 2009.
The Colorado Buffaloes take their hot act on the road after outscoring their first two opponents, 100-14.
Colorado is off to a good start in 2016. I’m very confident with the coaches and players we have that we’ll do that. In a radio appearance on 97.1 FM in Detroit, Harbaugh said he had a “hard time working humor” into Michigan’s preparations. “They’re obviously going to adjust”.
The Wolverines have scored at least 50 points in consecutive games for the first time since 1992 when Gary Moeller’s innovative offenses helped them win 19 straight Big Ten games.
The one thing Harbaugh saw improve the most was his accuracy. Darboh and senior tight end Jake Butt share the team lead with three scoring receptions.
“Something different came up, a muscle strain in a different location”, Harbaugh said. MI should be able to bottle them up consistently throughout the game.
