Michigan head coach preached perseverance after the No. 23 Wolverines fell 38-21 to No. 13 Indiana on Saturday.
It may have been the only message left to convey after his team dropped to 1-2 after once again opening the season with hopes of a College Football Playoff berth.
"Every single guy here, every single player here, every single coach here has experienced that in our life where they have taken the adverse and turning it into an advantage," Harbaugh told reporters. "The thing you have to do is push forward, keep going."
Harbaugh is coming under increasing pressure to deliver wins after falling to 48-20 overall since taking over the program in 2015.
