Mike Hart was back on the sideline for Michigan in Week 7 after his medical emergency in Week 6. He was also feeling well enough after the huge win to troll Penn State head coach James Franklin.

One of Franklin’s signature items each week is a tweet using only the name of Penn State’s opponent for the week. Heading into the weekend, Franklin used that mantra alongside the hype video for the game.

Unfortunately for Franklin, his Nittany Lions were overpowered 41-17, particularly behind Hart’s group of running backs. Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards each had over 160 yards rushing with the Wolverines eclipsing 400 yards on the ground.

After the game was over, Hart had a simple message to share on social media. See for yourself.

Simple, elegant, effective. You can certainly understand Hart’s reaction and jubilation to the dominant win.

After the game, Corum and Edwards had an interview on the field with Corum admitting he “expected” Edwards to go off. He also touted the duo once again as “lightning and lightning” in Michigan’s backfield.

Moving forward, Corum should still be a top contender for the Heisman Trophy, but it was Edwards who impressed with some electrifying moves.
