Earlier this week, Penn State coach Manny Diaz had a troll of the Wolverines’ alleged sign-stealing scandal ahead of this weekend’s massive top-10 Big Ten battle in State College, PA. Following a 24-15 victory, Michigan football linebacker Mike Barrett — a 6th-year senior — had a troll of his own for Diaz, who is now 0-2 against the Maize and Blue, losing by two scores on both occasions.

Manny Diaz is a great defensive coordinator; in fact, only behind Jesse Minter and Michigan football, Diaz commands arguably the nation’s second-best defensive unit in the country right now. That said, Diaz is now 0-2 against the Wolverines, allowing Michigan to run all over his unit in 2022 (41-17) and again on Saturday (24-15).

Earlier in the week, Diaz joined in with Penn State fans and more in trolling Michigan football amid sign-gate — it was a troll that many remembered after the Wolverines’ Week 11 win, including senior linebacker Mike Barrett.

Below is a TikTok posted by Michigan football lineman Trente Jones after the Penn State game. Take a look at Mike Barrett trolling Penn State coach Manny Diaz.

Even the official Michigan football Twitter account took note of what Manny Diaz did earlier in the week, and made sure to go all-out on social media following the win (below).

Michigan football has now won three straight against Penn State, including two straight in Happy Valley. Additionally, James Franklin is now 3-7 against the Wolverines.
