Post game interview:

As Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh noted after the game, he’s not concerned about a win that wasn’t pretty — until they actually add style points to the scoreboard. In a way, pretty is accounted for in the overarching progress of the season by way of the polls. But until the College Football Playoff rankings come out, there’s not much point in winning pretty.

It was a tale of two halves Saturday. The Wolverines dominated Rutgers in the first half but were inept offensively in the second. The defense bent and bent and bent, but didn’t quite break, holding the Scarlet Knights to 10 second-half points and forcing a turnover against a then-turnover-less team to secure the win.

Post game:

“I was really proud of them. Found a way. Defense, thought they really competed right to the fumble. Thank goodness for red zone defense, put a lot of time into it. Practiced it a lot. The defense was in a bad position. Offensively, we weren’t moving the ball. Three-and-outs, four straight drives to start the second half. But showed the character of the defense. I’m really proud and pleased with that and that they found a way — got it done.

“Gritty game. Wasn’t pretty, but when they start making the space for pretty on the scoreboard, we’ll worry about that. Right now, it doesn’t go up on the scoreboard. So yeah — proud of the guys.”

Eating boogers: Jim Harbaugh

After having his reputation damaged, Harbaugh immediately defended himself on his radio show Monday night. In the opening segment, he stated with authority that he did not eat a booger over the weekend. In fact, he said he’s never consumed a booger in his life.

“It might have looked like that was happening. But if you rub your nose and then you bite your fingernail, that’s not eating a booger. There was no booger eaten,” Harbaugh said, via the Detroit Free Press. “For clarity here, for the record, I have never eaten a booger in my entire life.”
