By Monday, Jim Harbaugh and Michigan's players were sick of talking about "the way things ended a year ago."
The botched punt that turned into a last-second, game-winning touchdown return for the Spartans still pops up in their consciousness from time to time, of course. This week they are all doing their best to stuff that memory back into the dark recesses from which it came. Harbaugh said he had previously hoped he could go his whole football career without ever being on the wrong end of a game that ended like last year's loss to rival Michigan State.
