During the summer, when conjecture and speculation was rampant, Jim Harbaugh was unequivocal when asked about the prospects of his team.
Asked if he agreed with the media’s consensus prediction that Michigan football would be the 2019 Big Ten champion, he said: “That’s where I’d pick us.”
It was the kind of definitive statement he has been known to deliver, reflecting the confidence of a man who has never hesitated to interject his opinion.
