Ann Arbor — Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, his team unbeaten and ranked No. 9, said he saw something different from his players during winter conditioning and spring practice.
“I could see it in their eyes, they’re having fun playing football,” Harbaugh said Monday during his weekly news conference.
The Wolverines (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) are coming off a dominant 38-17 victory at Wisconsin last Saturday. Michigan had lost its previous five meetings with the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium and had not won there since 2001. The Wolverines are preparing this week to play in primetime at Nebraska on Saturday, marking their first trip to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln since 2012.
