Jim Harbaugh shares early comments on The Game, says Michigan has tracked OSU all year

Jim Harbaugh is riding high with Michigan rolling to 11-0 this season. Coming off a B1G Championship and College Football Playoff appearance last year, the Wolverines have a shot to repeat in 2022.

First, Michigan must handle Ohio State in a colossal renewal of The Game. All eyes will be on Columbus Saturday with a top-5 battle for the B1G East in store.

On Monday, Harbaugh shared his first comments for the upcoming rivalry showdown and did not mince many words. He said the Wolverines have been tracking Ohio State all year long with preparation for the rivalry throughout the year.

Harbaugh also said Michigan needs to be grateful for the chance to find out how good the team really is:

“No need to hate, be grateful to find out who you are,” said Harbaugh.

Here’s a look at his initial comments on the Buckeyes from Monday’s press conference:

“I think they’re a really good team, improved team. Really grateful to be in this position playing in this game. Winner takes all. Strong opponent that gives you the opportunity to show how strong our team is. No need to hate, be grateful to find out who you are.”
