We’re gonna enjoy ourselves and get back to business. See if we can dominate the day. Got some good meeting tonight and wake up tomorrow and practice. See if we can dominate that day,” Harbaugh said to reporters. “This is like straight out of the Jackie Harbaugh playbook. One day at a time. One play at a time. That’s how we’re approaching each day.”

Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines are set to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl on Monday.
