Awful situation involving Mike Hart collapsing on the Michigan sideline. Hoping it was just dehydration or nothing majors. Hard not to be shaken by that if you're a Michigan player.

Refs made two terrible calls against Michigan in the 1st quarter. One led to 7 points, one prolonged a drive. That plus the Mike Hart thing and things are looking a bit wobbly at the moment. Composure time! #GoBlue
