He's been doing it for the last two seasons. He deflects the onfield questions to the player he thinked (edit: yeah, I actually writed "thinked", what of it!?) did the best that game. It's terrific, I love it. I think the pandemic (and some other events, going back to the flag he got in the 2016 osu game) caused a major shift in his psyche. He's realized that it's not good for the team for him to be the focus of attention. Focus on the players.
Having your #4 WR switch positions and then become arguably the best player on the defense is such a huge reason Michigan was able to go undefeated this season.
OSU went 3/3 on third downs on their first drive. After that drive they were 2/13 on third down. The Michigan defense gave up yards all over the field but was incredible in high leverage moments.
Every game when he gets approached or goes into the news room he says nothing and puts up the player of the game. The players love it, it forces the reporters to focus on that players performance.
My family always jokes about how no matter the question, his post game interview response is “Well you should really talk to this guy” while pulling in one of his players so he can leave.
Of all the teams we've had over the last 20 years, this one (and to a lesser extent last year) have been the most agile in game-time tweaks and adjustments. That has been, in my opinion, the biggest strength of this team. I mean, 3 points after the half? Give Minter a fuckin raise.
The most impressive part of the day is that Harbaugh was willing to abandon the run game in the first half. He is normally the most stubborn motherfucker on the planet (often for the better). Attacking this Swiss cheese secondary was 100% the correct call though. Great game plan and then it opened up the run game for later. GG
My entire Michigan fandom had been suffering at the hands of Ohio State. Now it’s our turn to have a streak! I love this team. I love Jim Harbaugh. I love JJ McCarthy. I love all of them. The way this team just played this game was impeccable. And especially with Blake out. JJ stepped up in the pass game big time. The play calling was gutsy and not typical 2016-19 Harbaugh. This team is for real. So proud to be a Michigan fan today. Hail to the Victors! Go Blue! Onto the Big Ten Championship and CFP!
Late in the 4th, the broadcasters were talking about Michigan being an anaconda and slowly strangling the other team. I was wondering whether some producer had heard about the ferret posts and made it a little more TV friendly, or if it was just a coincidence.
Whenever they were showing Michigan outscoring opponents in the second half 116-3 (or whatever it was) *before the Illinois game all they kept saying was "wait until they play Ohio State".
Imagine you’re Ohio State. You hype up a revenge game in Columbus for a whole year. You retool your entire defensive staff to focus on stopping Michigan. And Michigan loses their Heisman caliber running back for The Game. And none of that ends up mattering as you somehow lose by a bigger margin than last year.
Absolutely. And all talk of the win being a fluke, of Michigan not deserving of the playoff spot, of Ohio State coming back to assert their usual dominance.. Silenced.
Now that he's been backing it up, the "some people were born on *third base and think they hit a triple" line is one of the GOAT shit talking lines lol
After having less than 20 yards rushing at half with Michigan trailing 20-17 (those 17 thanks to 3 long throws) the Michigan offense exploded and outscored the Buckeyes 28-3 in the 2nd half. Absolute masterclass of a game called from Harbaugh.
Second year in a row we've been out-coached. Michigan has been better conditioned and better prepared for this game both times. We made so many dumb mistakes that they capitalized on. I hope the staff spends the next month really reflecting on their failures before a bowl game, because they failed these boys today.
Yeah you have no idea how elated I was to watch your offense nonchalantly sashay your way down the field there late in the game. I just watched those seconds tick off the clock one by one.
I don't know. Last year was magical in every aspect. The snow, Hutchinson breaking the school record for sacks, the atmosphere. Even though we lost in the playoffs that game was perfection to me.
Michigan runs the B1G until proven otherwise and I hate to admit that as an MSU fan. What an incredible win by them. Honeslty think they have a real shot at the Natty this year unlike last. Also, Ryan Day is a choke artist and should be ashamed (Im just glad I can shit on a coach that isnt my own).
So my grandpa was the one who taught my family our love for Michigan. Went there back in 50s, sent 2 kids there, and then 3 grandkids. My earliest memories are with him watching games.
Absolute respect to Michigan. I don’t think anyone (myself included) gave them a shot in this game, much less a blowout win that may have cost Stroud a Heisman (dependent on the USC game of course). This game probably even knocked them out of CFP contention.
Bush, wtf you talking about jj having only a 50% completion percent and that it hasn’t been good?Jj is leading the country in completion percentage (or close to it). Completion percent wasn’t his problem ever.
Please remember the rules
Harbaugh running away from the reporter is a classic
Lol did you see how he passed the interview off last week?
Dude was kinda aggressively grabbing his arm too.
He's been doing it for the last two seasons. He deflects the onfield questions to the player he thinked (edit: yeah, I actually writed "thinked", what of it!?) did the best that game. It's terrific, I love it. I think the pandemic (and some other events, going back to the flag he got in the 2016 osu game) caused a major shift in his psyche. He's realized that it's not good for the team for him to be the focus of attention. Focus on the players.
Mike Sainristil the converted wide receiver.
Man was absolutely locked in for this game, my goodness. Made so many clutch plays
Having your #4 WR switch positions and then become arguably the best player on the defense is such a huge reason Michigan was able to go undefeated this season.
That TD breakup might have been the biggest play in a game full of them.
Guy is just an animal. Ridiculous performance today.
Cant sing his praises enough his coverage was on point and his TD breakup swung the momentum in such a palpable way
Ohio St sophomores: we’ve been tricked, we’ve been backstabbed, we’ve been, quite possibly, bamboozled.
And juniors lol
Everybody: "Hey Ryan Day your defense should probably have a safety"
Seriously. Every 40+ yard touchdown I was legitimately shocked there wasn’t a safety to stop it
We were screaming that the entire game. Every touchdown was a defender getting beat deep. How do you not adjust after the first 3 times?!?!?
"Sell out to stop the run" okay but they whoopin your ass throwing the ball. "Ummm, I need to talk to Urban again gimme a second"
LMAOOO
I was told Jim Knowles was going to fix their defense.
The last time Michigan beat Ohio State back to back, Tom Brady was a rookie.
What ever happened to that guy
OSU went 3/3 on third downs on their first drive. After that drive they were 2/13 on third down. The Michigan defense gave up yards all over the field but was incredible in high leverage moments.
The defense was amazing today. Even better than last year just in a different way
Give Minter a big fat fucking raise so he doesn't become a headcoach anywhere.
Someone needs to make sure the ERs in Michigan have enough staff in 4 hours.
Y’all been taking those “Go Blue” pills.
That bulge on the lower peninsula is no longer a thumb.
Rumor is we still haven’t adjusted out of man coverage
It’s fine, Michigan can’t pass right?
But why would you?! Urban Meyer said Michigan running the ball was what you had to stop!
Harbaugh wanted nothing to do with that interview LMAO
He kinda has a history of ducking reporters and I love it.
Every game when he gets approached or goes into the news room he says nothing and puts up the player of the game. The players love it, it forces the reporters to focus on that players performance.
My family always jokes about how no matter the question, his post game interview response is “Well you should really talk to this guy” while pulling in one of his players so he can leave.
It's JJs time to shine.
The Jesse Minter appreciation post...he has continually made adjustments in the second half every game.
Of all the teams we've had over the last 20 years, this one (and to a lesser extent last year) have been the most agile in game-time tweaks and adjustments. That has been, in my opinion, the biggest strength of this team. I mean, 3 points after the half? Give Minter a fuckin raise.
Helluva hire, dude is amazing
Ryan Day seen frantically running through Lululemon in search of khakis
Well hopefully he doesn't drop any more games next season because those khakis are prone to catching fire
Ryan Day really came out with the “there’s no way they can beat us the way they did last year” approach.
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN
They beat us differently though. Last year they just marches down the field slowly with 8 yard runs.
"It's even funnier the second time!"
Technically he was right given this year they won by more
Yeah this time did it without the starting rb lol
The most impressive part of the day is that Harbaugh was willing to abandon the run game in the first half. He is normally the most stubborn motherfucker on the planet (often for the better). Attacking this Swiss cheese secondary was 100% the correct call though. Great game plan and then it opened up the run game for later. GG
Well, we finally answered the question "what happens when someone sells out to stop the run?"
I had zero expectation the game would go the way it did after the first quarter. What a tale of two halves.
Ryan Day may have been born on Third but he was certainly just thrown out at home.
I forgot about that quote. Harbaugh hit it right on the head and hasn’t looked back since
Born in the redzone and stuffed at the goal line
My entire Michigan fandom had been suffering at the hands of Ohio State. Now it’s our turn to have a streak! I love this team. I love Jim Harbaugh. I love JJ McCarthy. I love all of them. The way this team just played this game was impeccable. And especially with Blake out. JJ stepped up in the pass game big time. The play calling was gutsy and not typical 2016-19 Harbaugh.

Run from it, but try as you might, the ferret gets drowned
Late in the 4th, the broadcasters were talking about Michigan being an anaconda and slowly strangling the other team. I was wondering whether some producer had heard about the ferret posts and made it a little more TV friendly, or if it was just a coincidence.
I've never enjoyed drowning a ferret more than I've enjoyed drowning this one.
It was a bigger ferret than usual this week. Little guy really thought he might get out.
Michigan passed to open the run game
First time all season!!
WHOA, HE HAS TROUBLE WITH THE 2nd HALF!
I hope this gets to be a meme
27 points last year and 23 this year.
Ouch
Whenever they were showing Michigan outscoring opponents in the second half 116-3 (or whatever it was) *before the Illinois game all they kept saying was "wait until they play Ohio State".
Michigan has a quarterback who can pass AND run... Who woulda thought
Michigan came over to Ohio State's house for Thanksgiving dinner then shit all over the table and left without a word.
And took all the food with them to-go
No snow flurries. No flu. no excuses. Just an ass kicking.
As an Argentinian wolverine, I am on cloud 12
Blitz everyone….75 yard passing TD. Play two high safety…..75 yard rushing TD.
Imagine you’re Ohio State. You hype up a revenge game in Columbus for a whole year. You retool your entire defensive staff to focus on stopping Michigan. And Michigan loses their Heisman caliber running back for The Game. And none of that ends up mattering as you somehow lose by a bigger margin than last year.
Absolutely. And all talk of the win being a fluke, of Michigan not deserving of the playoff spot, of Ohio State coming back to assert their usual dominance.. Silenced.
Michigan beat the spread by about 31 points.
third shortest TD of the day for Michigan out of six was 69 yards
530 total yards of offense, of which 349 came on five plays. that was an embarrassing showing for OSU’s defense
Pretty cool they put Corum in for the victory formation
If you think about it, he is truly a major reason why we won. Without Corum this year, Day probably doesn't idiotically run Engage 8 every play.
It was a nice touch!
Didn't see that, REALLY cool
You can say a lot about Harbaugh, but he loves his players and keeps track of that kind of stuff.
I’m here to call for Ryan Day to be fired after incorrectly calling for Jim Harbaugh’s for years
Ryan Day gonna color his beard purple as a trauma response
This man owns the state of Ohio.
I haven't been this hard in about a year.
1st half: wow this is a complete slobberknocker anything could happen
It turns out JJ does indeed have a deep ball.
Second half Michigan don't fuck around
Kinda shocked it turned out like almost all our games this season. Legit did not see that coming. The ground game even came back!
Wow.. after watching this Iowa can't say we never did anything nice for them. Next week might be brutal for whoever has to play Michigan.
Uh we’re playing Purdue with a funny number
The tales of Jim Harbaugh’s demise were greatly exaggerated
Reminder that it's been 30 minutes since the last time Michigan beat OSU in Ohio
PACKWATCH
ripbozo
Ryan Day abandoned the run game in the 2nd half the same way my dad abandoned me and my mom as a child.
Ryan Day just left to get some cigarettes
Is this the best possible scenario for USC?
Now that he's been backing it up, the "some people were born on *third base and think they hit a triple" line is one of the GOAT shit talking lines lol
FERRET STRANGLED.
In Columbus, without Corum. Felt like a weird game and Michigan broke tendencies repeatedly. That’s a great game by the coaches.
JJ also played one hell of a game and then edwards ended it
We beat their Heisman candidate without our Heisman candidate.
For the first time in the history of reddit, Michigan has beaten Ohio State in the Shoe
After having less than 20 yards rushing at half with Michigan trailing 20-17 (those 17 thanks to 3 long throws) the Michigan offense exploded and outscored the Buckeyes 28-3 in the 2nd half. Absolute masterclass of a game called from Harbaugh.
28-3 you say?
28 to 3 is a good number for Michigan fans and fans of former Michigan QBs
With Corum only getting 2 rushes too 😳
Jim Harbaugh offensive genius
We're a 2nd half team, what can we say
Dude JJ balled out. I did not think he was capable of that. Way to go Michigan!
“Will the loser of this game get in if it’s close?” Maybe, but Michigan said fuck that noise and whooped OSU’s ass
losing an away game is one thing... but losing at home by 20+?
Jim Harbaugh really beat Ryan Day’s ass, called him a fraud nationally, and then beat his ass even harder the next game 💀💀💀💀
Ryan Day trying to coach himself into the Liberty job clearly
Should’ve ended 52-23
Yeah wtf was that fumble no-call. Would’ve been a walk in for the Michigan guy
It’s a shame the weather really held Michigan back.
Guess JJ will have to pass.
I understand OSU was really struggling with RSV this week as well.
Harbaugh really did it. He got Michigan back to the top, last year wasn’t a fluke.
[удалено]
The haters are in shambles.
The best part of The Game was when Harbaugh said 'IT'S KHAKI'N TIME' and khaki'd all over those guys.
What about at halftime when he ate a whole 16oz steak and drank a gallon of milk? That was pretty cool too
“I hope that Ohio State’s defense holds Blake Corum to under 10 rushing yards.”
Ohio State hasn’t beaten Michigan since 2019. Hate to see such a major rivalry getting way too one sided smh.
45 points is the most points scored by Michigan against Ohio State since 1946.
Breaks my heart

Second year in a row we've been out-coached. Michigan has been better conditioned and better prepared for this game both times. We made so many dumb mistakes that they capitalized on. I hope the staff spends the next month really reflecting on their failures before a bowl game, because they failed these boys today.
Possibly the most embarassing game Ive witnessed as a Buckeye fan.
Yeah you have no idea how elated I was to watch your offense nonchalantly sashay your way down the field there late in the game. I just watched those seconds tick off the clock one by one.
I’ve changed my mind, the loser of this game does not deserve to get into the playoff.
It’s me, the biggest TCU and USC fan in the world.
With only one loss on the year, Ryan Day is officially on the hot seat. Wild.
Didn’t think any game could feel better than last years win. This year blew it out of the water. What a game.
I don't know. Last year was magical in every aspect. The snow, Hutchinson breaking the school record for sacks, the atmosphere. Even though we lost in the playoffs that game was perfection to me.
My son was born in January 2020. Since then we’ve had:
Watch him grow up and go to Michigan 😏
My son and my nephew have also never seen an OSU win vs Michigan, we're thinking the same thing
Have you tried turning him off and back on again?
You do not wanna play second half Michigan.
Second half Michigan is a menace to society
Second half Michigan stole my lunch money and stuffed me in a locker
They didn’t want to play second half, period.
NO YOU DO NOT
Gonna have PTSD of second half Michigan for another 365 days
Michigan runs the B1G until proven otherwise and I hate to admit that as an MSU fan. What an incredible win by them. Honeslty think they have a real shot at the Natty this year unlike last. Also, Ryan Day is a choke artist and should be ashamed (Im just glad I can shit on a coach that isnt my own).
It’s hard to put into words the happiness after so many years of losing this goddamn game. Winning two in a row is just pure delirium tbh
I do not know how to react
When is Michigan going to play a real team and stop beating up on cupcakes by double digits??
The 15 year curse is broken!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Everyone complaining about the reffing is kidding themselves. All the PI plays were called correct.
28-3 always making a guest appearance somewhere
Fumble not reviewable? The football gods didn't like that.
Ball. Don’t. Lie
I literally never heard of forward progress being called on a QB being strip sacked
If that game was down to the wire...that fumble would have been talked about for ages
Ball don't lie, haha
Can anyone explain this to me? If the game wasn’t already a blowout I would’ve been livid.
So my grandpa was the one who taught my family our love for Michigan. Went there back in 50s, sent 2 kids there, and then 3 grandkids. My earliest memories are with him watching games.
Best day of my life!
Man I can’t imagine the high you are riding right now
12-0 without Corum in our most important game. This team is fucking good.
And more importantly: they believe.
tOSU is 0-2 since Day stated they were gonna hang 100 on Michigan
Good shit Michigan. Winning without Corum, at the horseshoe, is a hell of a feat.
Urban Meyer - "Michigan won't be able to run the ball on them."
I wish we never had to see him again tbh
Omg, the "we want urban" chants.
Literally earlier this season a bunch of OSU fans on this sub assured me they also didn't like Urban and we're glad he was gone 🤣
It’s been 1092 days since Ohio state beat Michigan.
Believe it or not, Harbaugh yet to win a big game still
He has never won a game he has lost. That's a shocking stat.
WE STRANGLED THE FERRET!!!!!!
THE RIVALRY HAS SHIFTED. MICHIGAN WITH MOMENTUM
As soon as one of our guys head butted a Michigan player for no reason, I knew we were done.
Jesus fuck that 4th quarter was a public execution
Michigan: I wish we could score again
O-H
WHAT HAAAPPPEENNNDDD???????
Dude this post game interview with Donovan is a straight Key and Peele sketch lmao
You run for two long touchdowns to put the game away like that and you can say anything you darned please in that post game interview.
Ryan Day really talked all that shit when he had Urban Meyer’s team just to get embarrassed two years in a row.
ITS GREAT. TO BE. A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE!!
Since Ryan Day said they were going to “hang 100” on Michigan, OSU has been out scored by 36 points in 2 games.
ITS EVEN FUNNIER THE SECOND TIME
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
MY TIGERS MIGHT BE DOG SHIT BUT HOW BOUT DEM WOLVERINES
Absolute respect to Michigan. I don’t think anyone (myself included) gave them a shot in this game, much less a blowout win that may have cost Stroud a Heisman (dependent on the USC game of course). This game probably even knocked them out of CFP contention.
Relationship ended with 42-27. 45-23 is BAE now.
Urban Meyer ripping Ryan Day after the game after he literally put him in this position…
Bush, wtf you talking about jj having only a 50% completion percent and that it hasn’t been good?Jj is leading the country in completion percentage (or close to it). Completion percent wasn’t his problem ever.
Hope Michigan goes all the way, congrats guys, dayum!
That second half was so satisfying for how much shit tOSU fans had been talking.
Welcome to quality loss land, Buckeyes.
TODAY IS THE GREATEST DAY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR SPORT
