Off the field, Jim Harbaugh is an interesting and unique and decidedly different character. As it turns out, the Michigan head coach is that way on the field as well.
In the first quarter of its game against Wisconsin and facing a second-and-two from the UW six-yard line, Harbaugh and his offensive coordinator busted out the standard 10-man I-formation. Of course, the Wolverines couldn’t stay in that formation -- that nitpicky seven-men-on-the-line-of-scrimmage rule -- so they shifted pre-snap to your standard short-yardage set that included three tight ends and a fullback.
Whatever it was and whatever its intent, it was successful as the Wolverines picked up five yards and a first down. A play later, they scored the first touchdown of the Top 10 matchup.
