Matt Leinart still believes in Michigan despite loss to Spartans
Published:
The good news for No. 10 Michigan and head coach Jim Harbaugh is that next weekend they have a struggling Indiana team coming to Ann Arbor.
The bad news is, they’ll likely still be reeling from the sting of their loss to in-state rival No. 8 Michigan State.
But FOX college football analyst Matt Leinart still thinks the Wolverines are a team worth watching.
Tough loss for @UMichFootball but still everything in front of them. The B10 East will continue to have shakeups. Have to bounce back which I think they will. That’s a very good football team.

The Wolverines ran into the Spartans buzz saw tailback Kenneth Walker III on Saturday. Walker found the endzone five times against the Michigan defense and racked up 197 rushing yards.
The 37-33 win by Michigan State keeps them perfect in B1G play, and continues the woes from Harbaugh against his in-conference rival.
Last season, the Hoosiers beat Michigan for the first time in 25 years. The Wolverines, now 7-1 and 4-1 in the B1G, will host the Hoosiers who are winless in conference play, and just 2-6 overall.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 6 on FOX.
