Jim Harbaugh's Michigan football news conference: Crucial fumble was running back's fault
Saturday's 37-33 loss to the Spartans wasn't pleasant, but it also wasn't the end of the season for Michigan football.
The 10th-ranked Wolverines are at home this week with a matchup against the Indiana Hoosiers under the lights at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, with a 7:30 p.m. start time on Fox.
U-M coach Jim Harbaugh will have his weekly news conference Monday at noon.

This was supposed to be the season the Hoosiers ascended into the upper echelon of the Big Ten, but injuries to quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. and Jack Tuttle (and a tough opening schedule in conference play) have left Indiana and coach Tom Allen down to one healthy scholarship QB: 18-year-old Donaven McCulley. The Wolverines will be motivated to avenge last season's 38-21 loss to the Hoosiers, their first setback in the rivalry since 1987. Indiana hasn't beaten Michigan in back-to-back years since 1958-59, however.
