Quarterback J.J. McCarthy also wore a "Free Harbaugh" shirt during warmups:

Harbaugh, who wore the No. 4 while he was a player at Michigan, was suspended three games by the school after the NCAA Committee on Infractions rejected a four-game suspension agreed upon by Harbaugh and the NCAA after he was accused of recruiting violations.

Michigan instead self-imposed a suspension on Harbaugh, and his players don't seem particularly thrilled about that decision.

Alongside Saturday's game against East Carolina, Harbaugh will also miss matchups against UNLV and Bowling Green. He'll return for the school's first foray in Big Ten play this season against Rutgers on Saturday, Sept. 23.
