Michigan Football: More hustle, toughness necessary

Football is a game where we call the players warriors, we nickname the field the game is played on the gridiron. We call the engagement between the offensive and defensive lines a battle in the trenches. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has called the sport “the last bastion of toughness for our young men”.

Football is as physical as any sport on Earth, a game that requires mental and physical toughness, and a heart that doesn’t give up or let up.

Following Michigan’s 35-14 loss to Wisconsin, though, toughness wasn’t a word Harbaugh used to describe his team at his Monday presser.
