Jim Harbaugh returns for Big Ten championship game
Michigan is fresh off a victory over Ohio State. The Wolverines ended the unbeaten record of the Ohio State Buckeyes (11-1, 8-1) while adding to their perfect record (12-0, 9-0) this season.
However, Harbaugh was not present on the field as he was serving the final game of his three-game suspension.
The ban on Harbaugh is now over, with the veteran coach set to return to the sidelines. He will lead the Wolverines against the Iowa Hawkeyes (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten West) in the Big Ten championship game on Dec. 3.
About his commitment to the team during his suspension, Harbaugh said:
"My emotions, my focus has been with the team the entire time. It's been a tremendous season, right in the exact position that we hoped for, that we worked so hard to be in. It's onward now.
"We've accomplished many of our goals, but not all of them yet. The next is winning the conference championship, so that's where our focus is. I would say it's good to be back, but I never left."
Michigan made history during Harbaugh's time away, registering its 1000th win and becoming the first school to do so. If the Wolverines defeat the Hawkeyes, they would win their third consecutive Big Ten title.
Aware of the milestone, Harbaugh said:
"It'd mean a great deal. This team, it's a true team, selfless, they play for each other. If you're wondering what's in another man's heart on this team, it's about each other."
Harbaugh also praised acting coach Sherrone Moore who took the baton during the head coach's absence.
