It was a terrifying moment in Bloomington: Michigan football running backs coach Mike Hart suddenly fell backward on the sideline, slipping into a seizure.
Immediately, he was surrounded by concerned staff and players, who were doing everything they could until he was stabilized enough to be carted off the field. As he was taken off, he gave a thumbs-up to those who could see in the stadium.
After the game, Wolverines players as well as head coach Jim Harbaugh shared they had learned Hart had been stabilized at the hospital, a message that Harbaugh shared with the team at halftime, but he was to stay in Indiana overnight.
On Monday morning, Michigan football shared a quote from Hart, who said he’s back in Ann Arbor, he’s feeling better, and he’s working toward rejoining the team.
Hart is in his second season coaching at his alma mater, having come from Indiana, where he was the assistant head coach under Tom Allen. Saturday’s game was supposed to be something of a homecoming for Hart, given that he spent four years in Bloomington.
