Jim Harbaugh wasn’t physically present for Michigan’s visit to Maryland, but that doesn’t mean opposing fans weren’t thinking about the coach Saturday.
Amid the Michigan sign-stealing scandal — which Harbaugh denies any knowledge of — the coach was suspended for three games.
And Terrapins fans took the opportunity to joke about his ban as they watched their team face the Wolverines, chanting “where’s Harbaugh?” during the second half of the game.
However, Michigan had the last laugh when it won 31-24 despite a surge from the hosts in the second half.
The No. 2 Wolverines are now 11-0 ahead of their huge rivalry battle with No. 3 Ohio State next weekend.

Harbaugh was also absent last week for his team’s win over Penn State.
Harbaugh and Michigan had filed a legal challenge against the Big Ten after his ban, but agreed to accept the conference’s suspension of him earlier this week.
The NCAA has been investigating Michigan for allegedly sending former staffer Connor Stalions to opposing games to record video that would be used to decode in-game signals.
The school also fired linebackers coach Chris Partridge on Friday.
According to Yahoo! SportPartridge destroyed computer evidence in an attempt to cover up the program’s character stealing.
Stalion resigned as the school’s recruiting analyst earlier this month.
