Game two of Jim Harbaugh's suspension is coming up.
Harbaugh is all about the "we-fense" even as he sits out the second of the school's three-game self-imposed ban amid an NCAA investigation. Running backs coach Mike Hart and special teams coach Jay Harbaugh will share head coaching duties for No. 2 Michigan against UNLV.
Heisman favorite J.J. McCarthy will likely handle the Rebels, as he did with East Carolina last week. Wolverine fans will want to see an improved running and pass rushing game, but with Blake Corum on the field, that should come with time.
Meanwhile, the Rebels are just looking to capitalize off a first-game victory. A win is unexpected as Michigan is a 37-point favorite, but it's about the long game, the season as a whole for UNLV, which has only had one winning season since 2000. New coach Barry Odom could change that, though.
Odom comes off three seasons at Arkansas where he was the associate head coach and defensive coordinator. Known for his defense, he may be just what the Rebels need to not only improve on last season's 5-7 record but get to a bowl game.
