Jim Harbaugh’s first victory at Michigan showed his old-school tendencies
Things got a bit tense at the Big House on Saturday when the Oregon State Beavers jumped out to an early 7-0 lead over Harbaugh’s Wolverines. However, Michigan bounced back nicely, going on a 35-0 run to finish the game.
Utilizing an old-school mixture of power-running and punch-you-in-the-mouth defense to pummel the Beavers into submission, the Woverines took control of the game and brought pride to their new head coach—not to mention the throng of delighted fans.
In particular, Michigan’s offensive line took a huge step in the right direction, paving the way for 225 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
It wasn’t all fun and games, however. At one point Harbaugh completely lost it on the sideline arguing with an official about a penalty.

In the end, Harbaugh was all smiles after his team dominated its opponent following the sloppy start. The one big concern going forward must be the play of Jake Ruddock, who once struggled to find open receivers, finishing with 180 passing yards, zero touchdowns and one interception.
