Michigan football adds new layer to Northwestern game with rivalry trophy

If anyone needed further proof of how cheerful the mood is within Schembechler Hall following Michigan football's 6-0 start, the scene at practice over the weekend should cement the idea.

Coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff gave the players a little time off toward the end of the bye week before preparations for Northwestern began. What might have been a sluggish return instead shed light on this team’s commitment.

“One thing I really continue to be pleased with is just how they attack every single day,” Harbaugh said during his weekly news conference on Monday.
