Jim Harbaugh downplays impact of ‘3rd base’ comment on 2022 matchup vs. Ohio State
Published:
Jim Harbaugh made sure to talk about the “3rd base” comment from last year’s win over Ohio State at Monday’s pressure. During B1G Media Days, Harbaugh declined to indicate whether or not he was referencing Ryan Day with his comment.
On Monday, Harbaugh said that any barbs between coaches including his third-base comments were irrelevant for 2022. It all started when Harbaugh stated that “some people were born on third base think they hit a triple, but they didn’t,” after beating the Buckeyes.

One thing that Harbaugh did not downplay was the toughness of Ohio State. Harbaugh stated that the comments questioning the Buckeyes’ toughness came from former OC Josh Gattis. Gattis is now at Miami in a similar role.
Harbaugh said “absolutely” Ohio State is a tough team. He said said the comments questioning OSU’s toughness last year didn’t come from him. (It was OC Josh Gattis.)
