Before Michigan opened the season on Saturday, Erick All got some amazing news. He’s a dad.

All’s girlfriend delivered their child at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning, according to Michigan radio — just hours before the Wolverines open the 2022 season against Colorado State at The Big House.

All is trying to build off a big 2021 season and remain a big part of the Michigan offense this year. He had 38 receptions for 437 yards and two touchdowns a year ago, and he’ll likely be a top target once again for Cade McNamara and JJ McCarthy, who are still battling it out for the Wolverines’ starting quarterback job into the season.

Michigan is coming off a Big Ten title, a College Football Playoff appearance last year and, most importantly, its first victory over rival Ohio State in 10 years. The Wolverines will try to build off that success this year, starting Saturday against Colorado State.

Paul Finebaum calls Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh ‘crazy’ for his ‘biblical’ quarterback decision

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh surprised many around college football with his plan at quarterback. Cade McNamara will start Week 1 against Colorado State and JJ McCarthy will start Week 2 against Hawaii before a full-time starter will be named in Week 3.

SEC Network host Paul Finebaum made his thoughts on that decision quite clear.

Finebaum appeared on “First Take” alongside Stephen A. Smith and criticized Harbaugh’s plan at the position. In fact, he said the Michigan headman should be on the Artemis spacecraft that’s heading to the moon this week.

“I think we’re making a mistake allowing Harbaugh to live on this Earth,” Finebaum said. “We’re about to send up a mission to the moon and he should be on it. He’s crazy. You have to admire his comparisons to the Bible. I like that.

“But the good news for him — and everyone’s overreacting — he’s got some easy games to start the season. It really doesn’t matter what you do in game one. He’s having some fun. I don’t know why he’s doing it. I don’t know why Jim Harbaugh does anything, guys. But he went to the playoffs last year, he bought himself a life insurance policy in Ann Arbor. Good for him.”
