Jim Harbaugh’s leg caught on fire during Penn State game

It was windy and cold at Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon — with temperatures hovering in the upper 30’s. Michigan OLB Aidan Hutchinson described the weather as “a little windy, a little nasty”. It was the type of fall day that required some space heaters outdoors.

The space heaters sure were working on the Michigan sideline, so well that head coach Jim Harbaugh’s leg was on fire.

“Those pants are kinda messed up,” Harbaugh joked when Jon Jansen asked how close he came to losing his pants.
