Do it or die trying: Jim Harbaugh sets sights on win over OSU, B1G title for 2021
Is this finally the year that Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines reach their goals?
Harbaugh is entering Year 7 leading Michigan, a stretch that has produced some positive results but plenty of disappointing finishes. Among other things, Harbaugh has gone 0-5 against Ohio State with the 2020 contest getting canceled due to COVID-19.
Heading into 2021, the Wolverines are coming off a 2-4 campaign during the shortened season. That included wins over Minnesota and Rutgers but losses to in-state rival Michigan State and Indiana, Wisconsin, and Penn State.
But just because last year was a struggle, do not expect Harbaugh to run from big expectations. During his appearance at Thursday’s B1G Media Day, he put the goals for this year at beating Ohio State and winning a B1G title.
“We’re gonna do it, or die trying,” said Harbaugh.
Jim Harbaugh: I’m as excited and as enthusiastic as ever before…to win the championship. To beat Ohio. That’s what we wanna do…”
“And we’re gonna do it or die trying.”

We’ll see how that works out this season.
