Offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore filled in for Harbaugh, who the Big Ten suspended Friday for the remainder of the 2023 college football regular season.

Hours before the noon kickoff, it was reported Harbaugh would in fact miss the game because the court system was not ready to rule on an emergency temporary restraining order filed Friday night. 

Harbaugh filed an emergency motion against the Big Ten Conference and Commissioner Tony Petitti after the conference banned Harbaugh from the sidelines for the final three games of the regular season.
