After two days of speculation as to whether Jim Harbaugh picked his nose during Saturday's win over UCF, the Michigan coach has finally weighed in on the matter.

"I have never eaten a booger in my entire life," the 52-year-old said on his weekly radio show Monday night, according to Nick Baumgardner of MLive.com. "It might have looked like that was happening. But if you rub your nose and then you bite your fingernail, that's not eating a booger. There was no booger eating."

Pick or no pick, Michigan's start to the 2016 season has been impressive, despite porous competition. The Wolverines thrashed Hawaii 63-3 in Week 1, before hammering the Golden Knights 51-14 last weekend.

Colorado certainly poses a tougher threat this Saturday, but the way Michigan is performing, Harbaugh's sideline activities might be the major talking point in a blowout win, yet again.
