Michigan Football Beats Penn State, Maryland Up Next, Jim Harbaugh Suspension, Big Ten, JJ McCarthy

Michigan went into Penn State, without Jim Harbaugh, and ran the ball over and over and over again en route to a victory.

Jim Harbaugh got on a plane to head to Pennsylvania with his team to take on Penn State and found out, while airborne, that he was suspended. It was a cowardly move by Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, but that's how it went down. With the news that Harbaugh wouldn't be allowed inside Beaver Stadium, the weight of the biggest game of the season fell onto Sherrone Moore's shoulders. The offensive line coach/offensive coordinator/acting head coach played his roles to perfection and led the Wolverines to a 24-15 win.

With Michigan now 10-0, it's about Maryland this weekend. But first, Harbaugh will go in front of a judge on Friday for a hearing following an injunction to put a temporary restraining order in place, which would allow him to coach in College Park on Saturday. If it's unsuccessful, it'll be Moore again running the show, and would likely pave the way for him to be the head man for the regular season finale against Ohio State as well. With so many strange, unprecedented moving parts, Michigan just keeps powering through and winning games. Expect that to happen again next weekend as the Wolverines go for win No. 1,000.
