Young Michigan fan seen crying on TV believed to be Jim Harbaugh's son

MADISON, WI - A young Michigan fan seen crying on live TV right after a Wisconsin touchdown is believed to be Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh's son.

The young boy was understandably upset after Wisconsin's Nick Nelson returned a punt for a touchdown in the first quarter of the Badgers - Wolverines game on November 18, 2017. It was the first score of the game to put Wisconsin up 7-0.

FOX cameras cut to the fan after showing the replay of the touchdown. UM beat writer for the Toledo Blade, Kyle Rowland, tweeted the boy was indeed the coach's son.
