Just about everything went the way it was supposed to in the first half for the University of Michigan football team against the University of Maryland. The Wolverines built themselves a comfortable 28-0 lead, and were well on their way to another victory.
But the half wasn’t perfect, however. One of the only blunders Michigan committed was a missed field goal that would have increased their lead to 31-0. Sophomore kicker Quinn Nordin sent a 31-yard attempt well wide of the goal posts, making it the third missed field goal in a row. He is now a pedestrian 14 of 19 on the season. He’s also missed two extra point attempts in Michigan’s last four games.

After the missed field goal, head coach Jim Harbaugh was visibly frustrated, gesturing his anger on the sidelines while watching the missed opportunity to add points to the board. Afterwards, Harbaugh and Quinn were seen mere inches apart from one another and sharing some heated words. Check out the video below:

While it isn’t exactly clear what was said between the two, it certainly wasn’t a good look for the sophomore to be getting in the face of the Michigan head coach, frustrated or not, and especially considering the comfortable lead Michigan enjoyed.
Nordin’s struggles come after a good start to the season. He was 4 of 6 in Michigan’s opening contest against Florida and he’s also been able to connect on two attempts from over 49 yards. However, he’d be best served working on his game rather than worrying about how his head coach reacts to his latest blunder.
