Furious Jim Harbaugh penalized after throwing play card, breaking headset (Video)
The Ohio State-Michigan rivalry is heated, and so is Jim Harbaugh.
The Michigan coach was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty late in the third quarter after a series of flags drew his ire.
An earlier facemask penalty nullified a Michigan first down, which, as a spot foul, Harbaugh felt was the wrong decision. A Wilton Speight interception then set Ohio State up deep in Michigan territory, and after a Wolverine offsides call, Harbaugh lost it completely.

According to commentator Kirk Herbstreit, Harbaugh flung his play cards onto the field in anger, which apparently drew the flag. His headset also didn’t survive the furor.

Harbaugh’s sideline tantrums are the stuff of legend. It makes perfect sense that he’d save one of his more memorable ones for the biggest game of Michigan’s season thus far.
