Michigan Lines Up In The Strangest I-Formation [PHOTO]

Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh pulled out some early tricks during the first quarter of Saturday's big matchup with Wisconsin.

The Wolverines were knocking on the door of the endzone -- facing a 2nd and 2 from the six-yard line just before the end of the quarter -- when Harbaugh had his offense line up in an 11 player stacked I-formation.

The offense didn't stay in that formation for long, quickly shifting into a traditional setback formation, but the trickeration worked as De'Veon Smith was handed the ball and gained five yards and a first down at the one yard line.

Khalid Hill would punch the ball in for a score on the very next play to give Michigan a 7-0 lead to start the second quarter.

Just goes to show, Jim Harbaugh might try anything out there.
