Michigan dominated in all three phases, and Harbaugh believes this is one of the most complete performances he’s seen from a Wolverine team since taking over the program in 2015.
“Pretty high. Pretty darn high,” Harbaugh said when asked where it ranks in that department. “The guys did a tremendous job, just so focused on their football, it was important. It was an important task — critical — we come in here on the road and play good football. I thought our guys did that and then some, in all phases.
“Can’t start a game better than we did today, with taking the opening drive. Tremendous playmaker [Michigan senior wide receiver] Roman Wilson and [Michigan junior quarterback] J.J. [McCarthy] — what a catch that was. The guys up in the press box were telling me just how good it was when they were watching it on the replay. Keeping his feet in bounds — amazing.

“And then [sophomore defensive tackle] Kenneth Grant, talk about a playmaker. That ball was up in the air — I saw that one fully. It was up there just hanging. I don’t know how high that went, but that ball way way up there. Great job by [senior EDGE] Braiden [McGregor] getting the tip. And then KG, coming down with the rebound the reception, and then he’s getting hit at all angles, holding onto the ball. And then we punch that one in for a score.”
The Michigan coach raved about the way his team came into a tough atmosphere and won, braving the hot conditions.
“About every guy walking out of that locker room right now, even though they’re walking out with humble hearts because we’ve got to go on the road again next week, feels really good about themselves and the way they played,” the Michigan coach said. “Every single guy. No penalties, no turnovers. For the most part, really played their assignments, were locked in on their football. Tough place to play. Always sold out, always tremendous atmosphere. Tough opponent, the crowd and the elements, too. It was hot out there, and our guys did really well, all the way to the backups when they went in.”
