Michigan powered to seven consecutive wins in the 2021 campaign. Harbaugh and the M Men were celebrated as back. But then came a loss at Michigan State. And then the old scabs about Harbaugh’s record against the best Big Ten Teams were re-opened. On Saturday, another one of those opponents is on the schedule. Penn State is eager to take on the Wolverines.
