For several reasons: 1) Hart is having an amazing year at RB, 2) a win could be to save Lloyd Carr's job and he is supported by his players, 3) so the season will not be a total loss for Michigan, given the lofty expectations at the beginning of the season and Michigan's numbing two losses, 4) Ohio State, despite being undefeated to this point, is nowhere near as good as they were last season.
