"I love Michigan Football, the University of Michigan and the Ann Arbor community," Harbaugh said in a released statement. Getty Images By now, everyone who follows college football knows that Michigan and head coach Jim Harbaugh are having a bad season — an historically bad season. With two games remaining on the schedule , the Wolverines winning percentage is likely to be at its lowest end-of-year mark since 1962 with the exception of the terrible 2008 season.

They've dropped four of the last five games including last Saturday at home by 10 points to a winless Penn State squad. In that stretch the Wolverines were trounced at home by a decent but not great Wisconsin team and lost by 17 points to Indiana, which had not beaten Michigan since 1987. Rankings from AP Poll.The 2020 Michigan Wolverines football team represented the University of Michigan in the sport of college football during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Wolverines played in the East Division of the Big Ten Conference and played their home games at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While losing players to the transfer portal isn't all that uncommon in today's college football, the Michigan Football program lost a significant amount of contributing talent during the off-season.

As we look ahead to the upcoming season, here are the top five former Wolverines you might want to keep your eye on throughout the week. It looks like Harbaugh will finish out this week and maybe the season, but his prospects beyond that don't look good. In his weekly news conference, he noted how people outside the program were "results-oriented, looking at wins and losses" while he was focused on the process.

That's coach-speak at its finest when things are totally off the rails in terms of results. While the decisions makers at Michigan haven't said much, they are shelling out $7 million for results, not processes, and two or three wins in year five is below any reasonable threshold. It certainly looked like Zach Charbonnet was well on his way to becoming Michigan's next great running back. During the 2019 season, Charbonnet set the all-time record for rushing touchdowns as a freshman and was Michigan's leading rusher with 726 yards on 149 attempts. The rushing attack is led by Hassan Haskins, who has gained 997 yards and scored 10 touchdowns over the past two seasons.

Ronnie Bell and Cornelius Johnson are the top returning wide receivers. The Big Ten Conference initially cancelled the fall sports season, on August 11, 2020, but reversed course on September 16, announcing an eight-game conference-only schedule. Michigan's previously scheduled nonconference games against Washington, Ball State, and Arkansas State were canceled due to the pandemic. Precautions were taken to promote player, staff, and fan safety, including regular COVID-19 testing, isolation requirements, and mask wearing; games were largely played with no fans in attendance. Murray poured in a game and career-best 37 points, six rebounds, and a game bests in steals and blocks against the Huskers on Feb. 13.

The 37 points are believed to be the third most by any men's basketball player in Carver-Hawkeye Arena's 39-year history (45 by Brian Quinnett of Washington State in 1986; 41 by Iowa's Luka Garza in 2020). The 37 points tie the highest point total by a Big Ten player in a game this season . "Jim has done a great job coaching and developing the young men in our football program," Manuel said in a statement.. "Last season, Jim along with the staff and players delivered a memorable season that will remain with all of us for a long time. FREELAND, Mich. – Nine Olivet College football players have been named to 2021 All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association teams.

All-MIAA Second Team selections were sophomore return specialist Akeem Benjamin, senior defensive lineman Jeylin Rogers, senior offensive lineman Andrew Sikkema and junior punter Brendan Sine. A missed field goal at the end of regulation allowed the Maize and Blue to escape a triple-OT bout with Rutgers before the team ultimately fell at home to Penn State. With positive COVID tests rising in the program, UM was mercifully spared the indignity of once again being blown out by hated rival Ohio State as the game was canceled. The official attendance of 615 was the smallest football crowd in Michigan Stadium history. Graduate student kicker Quinn Nordin was successful on his first field-goal attempt of the season for 23 yards in the second quarter. It was the 41st field goal of Nordin's career, which ranks fifth among Michigan's all-time leaders.

Michigan was originally scheduled to play non-conference games against Washington, Ball State, and Arkansas State; and conference games against Ohio State, Maryland, and Iowa. However those games were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Big Ten Conference announced on July 9 that if the conference is to participate in a fall sports season, member schools will play a conference-only schedule. The Big Ten announced a revised schedule on August 5, which was scrapped when the conference announced postponement of the season on August 11. Michigan began the year ranked 16th in the preseason AP Poll. After rising to 13th in the polls, Michigan was upset by unranked in-state rival Michigan State.

After losing two more games against ranked opponents Indiana and Wisconsin, Michigan won a triple-overtime game against Rutgers, and lost to Penn State the following week. Michigan's final three conference games, against Maryland, Ohio State, and Iowa, were canceled due to COVID-19 outbreaks. While the NCAA's win requirements for bowl eligibility were lifted for the season, Michigan was not selected to a bowl game for the first time since 2014, ending the season with a 2–4 record.

• Keegan Murray netted 24 of his game and career-high 37 points in the first half. The 37 points are the third highest total by any men's basketball player in Carver-Hawkeye Arena history (45 by Brian Quinnett of Washington State in 1986; 41 by Iowa's Luka Garza in 2020). The 37 points tie the highest point total by a Big Ten player this season . The NFL had always remained an intriguing option for Harbaugh, who still harbored aspirations of winning a Super Bowl. In meetings with recruits, Harbaugh acknowledged that desire and told them a return to the pros was a consideration. By the time Michigan played Ohio State at the end of the regular season, everything had coalesced as the Wolverines defeated the Buckeyes for the first time since 2011.

Beyond offensive schemes or talent in general, Harbaugh's inability to recruit or develop quarterbacks stands out as his Achilles Heel. While the top tier QBs like Tua Tagovailoa or Joe Burrow have passer efficiency ratings around 200 and the top 20 passers each season come in from 150 to 200+, Harbaugh's QBs have ranged from 102 to 149. In the modern world of college football where QB play is paramount, those kind of stats tell a big part of the story. I'll have to leave it to the Detroit media and Michigan bloggers to delve into the nitty gritty of problems within the program, but from a bird's-eye-view, several things stand out. There has been an obvious positive Harbaugh-effect on recruiting. Michigan's recruiting classes in 2014 and 2015 ranked 20th and 37th according to 247 Sports.

This has shown up in the NFL draft with 15 Wolverines selected in the last two. But while not terrible, Harbaugh's efforts over the last three seasons haven't been as successful with rankings of 22nd, 8th, and 14th. During his tenure, Ohio State has placed 44 players in the NFL draft compared with 31 for Michigan. Wisconsin has placed only 18 in the draft over the last two seasons by a combined score of 84-25. Those kinds of expectations, while not totally unfounded based on Harbaugh's record, were overly optimistic given that it had been a long time since Michigan had really been a factor among Top 10. In the eleven years leading up to the hiring of Harbaugh for the 2015 season, the Wolverines had finished in the Top 10 only once at #8 way back in 2006.

In the five years leading up to his first season, the Wolverines had placed only 13 players in the NFL draft . The Wolverines will have their top rushing option back at Michigan Stadium this fall with Hassan Haskins returning for his senior campaign. Sharing carries with the now departed Zach Charbonnet, the St. Louis product broke out on the scene in 2019 with a solid sophomore season that was highlighted by a 149-yard performance against Notre Dame. He led the team in rushing last year with 375 yards on 61 carries and six touchdowns. If Michigan continues to win football games, the goalposts will move.

Teams they beat will be labeled as overrated or never a threat. If we are sitting here a month from now with an unblemished team on our hands, it stops being a rebuilding year and becomes something else entirely. There are plenty of fans who will never be satisfied and only expect perennial trips to Indianapolis and beyond. The most logical fans only ever hope that Michigan takes care of business with its in-state rival and that the game on the last weekend of November has championship implications. The analytics love Michigan with a pair of ESPN metrics helping fuel the hype train for the Wolverines. The Football Power Index has Michigan at 9.6 projected wins while also giving them a positive chance to win each of their remaining games.

Bill Connelly's SP+ has them as the sixth-best team in college football behind only Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Clemson, respectively. Quinn Nordin's 46-yard field goal in the third quarter was his 14th career field goal at 40-yards or longer, setting a Michigan program record. With the loss to Wisconsin, Michigan had their first 1–3 start to a season since 1967. It also ties for the fifth-most points in a season-opening game in program history. Michigan's 35 points in the first half were the program's most against a ranked opponent in the AP Poll era.

The game's officiating crew was entirely African American, the first in the Big Ten Conference. The COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of all University of Michigan athletic activities during the spring of 2020, including the football team's annual spring game. The pandemic also led to cancellation of the team's international trip for the first time since 2016.

The following are the current college football season statistics for the 2021 Michigan Wolverines. Murray is one of the league's top emerging players after being named to the five-player All-Big Ten Freshman Team a year ago. The Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native was one of only five players nationally — and only bench player — to amass 200 points, 35 blocks, 25 steals, and 15 3-pointers. He was the team's leading scorer (7.8) and rebounder (5.5) off the bench in conference play. The 6-foot-8 forward was second on the team in steals and ranked 11th in the Big Ten in blocked shots per game (1.26).

Bohannon is one of only three Hawkeyes to post four 100-assist seasons . He has accumulated seven points-assists double-doubles, the most in school history. Bohannon registered a school-record eight games with 10 or more assists. Redshirt sophomore Patrick McCaffery has been playing his best basketball the past month.

McCaffery has netted double figures in scoring six of the last eight games. He scored a season-high 18 points and tied a career high with seven rebounds in Iowa's victory over Minnesota on Feb. 6. McCaffery has made at least one 3-pointer in six of the last eight contests, including sinking three in both games against Penn State last month. • Keegan Murray, who scored a combined 67 points in two games last week, is the only player nationally to average 23+ points, 8+ rebounds, and 2+ blocks this season. If Harbaugh is let go, there will be no injustice, even if his successor fares no better.

He's raked in $30 to $40 million over his five years in charge, and, he will find another head coaching position in the NFL or college football. With the win, the Comets finish the 2021 season with a 7-3 overall record for their seventh winning season in the last nine seasons. FREELAND, Mich. – Junior Samuel Roose has been selected the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Athlete of the Week for his performance in the football team's 79-6 win over Finlandia University.

He is being honored as the Special Teams Athlete of the Week for the second time this season. Now the Wolverines enter the 2021 campaign with questions surrounding the viability and future of head coach Jim Harbaugh, who enters his seventh season in Ann Arbor. The former Wolverine quarterback has a successful record since his arrival in 2015 and has sent several high-end defensive prospects to the top of the NFL Draft.

However he has failed to produce a division title nor a single win against the Buckeyes, the standard that Michigan holds themselves against. The 2021 season is bound to determine the trajectory of this program moving forward. Harbaugh and his program are under an immense amount of pressure coming off of a 2-4 campaign in 2020 and the totality of his time in Ann Arbor seeing goals go unfulfilled. There is a pep in the step and a chip on the shoulder from everyone in the building. For years, Michigan has resited and downplayed criticisms hurled their way. This group seems to have internalized them and uses them as fuel to improve every day.
