The Michigan Wolverines are desperate for a big win with all the backlash that has come around the program in the past week. The loss to Penn State last Saturday sent the national media into a frenzy with several people criticizing the Michigan program and their fans.
Then rumors began spreading, like they do every year, that Harbaugh was looking for a way out at Michigan, and he quickly disputed those rumors with a letter to people within the program.
Needless to say, the best way to shut up all the doubters is by winning this game on Saturday.
