Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore both were serving suspensions for the team's opener against East Carolina, so they decided to watch together at Moore's home. «I said, 'Hey, let's watch the game together,' and he said, 'Why don't you come over,'» Harbaugh said Monday. «His wife, Kelli, had some sandwiches, his two daughters were there, and my son Johnny.
We had a good time. It was good, excellent. »I really loved what I saw out of our team." The second-ranked Wolverines beat East Carolina 30-3, as quarterback J.J.
McCarthy passed for 280 yards and three touchdowns, and Michigan held the Pirates scoreless until the last play. Michigan self-imposed a three-game suspension for Harbaugh and a one-game suspension for Moore because of NCAA recruiting violations during the COVID-19 dead period.
The school imposed the discipline to get ahead of the NCAA infractions process after a negotiated resolution for Harbaugh, which included a four-game suspension, fell apart.
