Every time Ohio State football fans are featured on a pregame show, they deliver. This week was no different ahead of their top 10 showdown with Big Ten foe Penn State, the No. 7-ranked team in the country.
But it wasn’t the Nittany Lions that the No. 3 Buckeyes were taking shots at out of the gate.
Big Noon Kickoff and ESPN College GameDay were in Columbus for today’s big game, and the Buckeyes faithful took aim at rival Michigan with their signs. Ohio State fans were ready to aim at the Wolverines after it was announced this week that the NCAA has launched an investigation into Jim Harbaugh’s program over sign-stealing allegations.
Some of the signs read, “Hey! Harbaugh, steal information from this sign,” “If you can read this sign, Michigan hasn’t stole it,” and multiple versions of your classic “Harbaugh stole my other sign” signs.

It should be noted that Harbaugh is not accused of stealing any signs, despite what the signs may suggest.

The man who the NCAA investigation is being built around and who is the alleged “mastermind” of the operation is a “low-level” staff named Connor Stalions, a retired captain in the United States Marine Corps and a football analyst for the Wolverines.
Despite the distractions off of the field, the Wolverines have remained focused on this week’s game against rival Michigan State.
Kickoff at Spartan Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
