00 Harbaugh presser

[even his wardrobe has a constraint play]

How do you keep your team from listening too much to all the good things they’ve heard about themselves in the last 48 hours?

“Outstanding game, congratulations, and hard work.”

Jabrill doesn’t play a traditional safety position, and he doesn’t play a traditional cornerback position. Why is that spot that you guys have him at best for him and best for you guys?

“Uh, well, it’s a nickel position. Takes an athlete who’s physical but has the ability to cover receivers in the slot. Can also contribute in the running game. Usually somebody who’s a really good corner and a good safety is ideal for that position. I mean, pretty much every team has that position so no, not inventing anything. It’s looked at as a starting position by just about every defense that plays football.”

You were optimistic about De’Veon’s health the other day. Are you still optimistic? Do you have an updated on De’Veon?

“Yeah, he’s gonna be sore. He’ll be working through the soreness.”

Is it a questionable situation for him Saturday?

“I don’t think we have to do that in college football, do we?”

What’s the diagnosis?

“He’s got something he’s working through.”

Is he still in the boot?

“I haven’t seen him today.”

Which shade of maize should Michigan use?

UPDATE: I showed each of them alone and with M's official blue.
