It didn’t take long for the questions to start pouring in about next weekend. Shortly after Michigan posted a 31-20 win over Indiana, head coach Jim Harbaugh and a few Wolverines were asked about next Saturday’s showdown with Ohio State.
Michigan improved to 10-1 on the season with the victory over the Hoosiers. Earlier in the day, Ohio State recorded a 52-51 win over Maryland, also getting to 10-1 on the year. That sets up a winner-take-all battle in Columbus in seven days.
Winner gets the division crown and a trip to Indianapolis to play Northwestern in the B1G Championship Game.
Quarterback Shea Patterson, running back Karan Higdon, defensive lineman Rashan Gary and Harbaugh were all asked about next week’s epic showdown in Columbus. Here’s what they had to say with “The Game” looming:
Harbaugh: ‘On to the next one. On to the big game. The championship game.’

Rashan Gary on OSU: “Everybody in the whole entire country know what this week is. We know what this week is, so we want to attack it. It’s been a whole year of having a bad taste in our mouth. We have to go out and prepare the right way and go out there and see what happens.”

Karan Higdon on what #Michigan has proved to itself: "That we definitely can be the best team in the country, that we’re definitely a top-four team, that we’re a playoff contender and we deserve to play in the playoffs. And that only happens if we continue to dominate each week."
