"When we got the ball I was just standing next to Harbaugh and he said, 'Let's go, you're in,'" Peters said.

Does it ever become fun? Is there ever a point when the coach can put aside the stress and bask in the moment?
"He does his yelling, but he's definitely being patient, too. He knows that guys are going to mess up."
The one area in which Harbaugh voiced some frustration with Speight was his ball security.
"Now he got close last year, but close doesn't cut it," former Michigan running back Jamie Morris said. "He's got to beat Ohio State"
