In just a few days, No. 10 Penn State will welcome the No. 3 Wolverines to Happy Valley for a massive top-10 Big Ten showdown. Amid the Michigan football sign-stealing allegations and investigation, Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz poked a bit of fun at the Maize and Blue ahead of this weekend’s matchup, jokingly telling PSU fans to be loud and early at the game by giving them “signs.”

Penn State coach pokes fun at Michigan football sign-stealing

This weekend’s No. 10 Penn State vs. No. 3 Michigan football matchup is one of the most anticipated games of the year, especially now that Jim Harbaugh and his Wolverines are under investigation and more, as well as a top College Football Playoff contender as we enter this final three-week stretch of November.

Yesterday, Penn State football social media posted a video that shows the players and coaches getting Nittany Lions fans hype up to play against the Wolverines on Saturday. One Penn State coach, second-year defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, gave fans “signs” to be early, be loud, and make noise on third down. His signals to fans is presumably him trolling Michigan football, which is under investigation for alleged illegal sign-stealing right now.

Below is the clip of Diaz trolling Michigan.
