It has been a train-wreck of a season for Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines as they currently sit at 2-4 with two regular-season games remaining against Maryland and Ohio State.
But according to Kirk Herbstreit of ESPN, he thinks Michigan will use COVID-19 as a reason to “wave the white” flag rather than having to take the field against the Buckeyes.
“I still think Michigan waves the white flag and potentially avoids playing Ohio State next week,” Herbstreit said on Tuesday's College Football Playoff Rankings Show.

Ouch!
Nation, do you agree with Herbstreit? Would Harbaugh and the Wolverines really lie about their COVID-19 cases and “wave the white flag” rather than square off against Ohio State?
Personally, I do not believe there is any chance and hell that Harbaugh would allow this to happen. That being said, it has been a really odd year and there have been rumblings about some Wolverines' players not giving 100% in some of their games.
