Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh may have forgotten to eat his Wheaties when he woke up Saturday morning, because he seemed even more ticked off than usual during Saturday's game versus Rutgers.

Up 35-16 in the second quarter, Michigan was flagged for "intent to deceive." On the play, Michigan crowded the line of scrimmage with 10 offensive players around the ball pre-snap and left tight end Jake Butt standing alone near the sideline. Quarterback Jake Rudock took advantage with an easy throw to Butt before officials flagged the play for unsportsmanlike conduct, much to the dismay of Harbaugh.

Harbaugh continued his assault on Rutgers in the third quarter, as he elected to attempt a two-point conversion with his Wolverines leading 41-16.

After the game, he said he felt "pretty offended" by the intent to deceive penalty and added, "we train our quarterbacks to throw to people who are uncovered." As for the two-point play, Harbaugh responded, "That's what the chart says to do. So we went with that."

Jim Harbaugh can't stop, won't stop!
