Today’s top-10 showdown against Penn State will set the tone for the rest of the season. If Michigan wins, its destiny is in its own hands. If the Wolverines come up short, then Michigan is at the mercy of chance for a shot at retaining its Big Ten crown.
Emotions will be running high in this one. After Mike Hart’s medical emergency on the sideline last week, the Michigan Wolverines might be playing with a bit more motivation. “Win it for coach Mike” could be the rallying cry for the team as Michigan’s all-time leading rusher recovers.
