You simply could not miss Mike Hart’s presence on the Michigan sidelines. Even after making the decision to sit this game out — following an ankle injury he sustained the previous week — Hart was still a factor. He was often seen chatting and pumping up his teammtes on the sidelines;continuing to be the leader he always is. Shaken early on with injuries to quarterback Chad Henne and receiver Mario Manningham, the Wolverines overcame adversity and remain unbeaten in Big Ten play with a 27-17 win in Champaign, IL.

Next up, a Big Ten match-up at home with Minnesota, who is winless in league play this year.
