ROME— Paintballs were whizzing through the air, as Michigan’s Khaleke Hudson charged across the battlefield.
Rashan Gary sat back, sniping away — “I had 15 headshots!”

“I’ve never done this before,” Harbaugh said, “but this is fantastic.”
The Wolverines took a break from their sight-seeing visits around Rome to play some paintball.
