U-M defense 'opening up the jar' of turnovers?

Jim Harbaugh, king of the metaphor, strikes again.

The Michigan football coach, who has a million real-world comparisons for his football players, dropped another one Monday night comparing a canned vegetable to a picked pass.

Forcing turnovers is a top priority of the defensive staff under coordinator D.J. Durkin. But in the first two weeks, U-M only had one that was forced (one was on an end-of-half Hail Mary.)

After breaking through with a pair of interceptions against UNLV last Saturday, Harbaugh has a feeling more will be shaking loose.

At least that's what it sounds like he's saying.
