Even if the Big House were full of fans, the bands playing, a typical raucous atmosphere for the gritty, hard-hitting Michigan-Michigan State game in a typical year, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh doesn’t believe the stage would be too big or daunting for two quarterbacks debuting as full-time starting quarterbacks this season.
To be sure, that stage will be different at Michigan Stadium on Saturday. There will be a television audience, but only a few hundred parents will be in attendance since the Big Ten is not allowing fans to watch the limited season in person because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
