Wolverine TV: Olusegun Oluwatimi, Luke Schoonmaker talk Michigan mindset heading into Rutgers, more
Michigan Wolverines football graduate tight end Luke Schoonmaker and graduate center Olusegun Oluwatimi met with the media Tuesday evening after practice. Both players discussed their team’s mindset after the MSU tunnel incident and heading into Rutgers, and much more.
Michigan is 8-0 for just the second time under head coach Jim Harbaugh, joining the 2016 season. Rutgers, on the other hand, is 4-4 and coming off a 31-0 blowout loss to Minnesota in Minneapolis. Kickoff in Piscataway is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network.

Michigan’s team meeting to refocus
There’s no question head coach Jim Harbaugh and those in the Michigan program have lost sleep over the last few days. Harbaugh himself was up at 4 a.m. Tuesday morning, and had an “epiphany.”
“He was up at 4 a.m. this morning, and he had an epiphany,” graduate center Olusegun Oluwatimi said after practice Tuesday evening. “That epiphany was to focus on Rutgers and not feel like a victim of the situation that happened, and become a victor out of it.
“We’re trying not to let what happened on Saturday be a distraction; we’re trying to move forward.”
“Coach Harbaugh just said, basically going into this next week, we’re going to play with discipline and not let the anger, or whatever we may be feeling, transition into this week,” graduate tight end Luke Schoonmaker said of the Michigan team meeting. “So just kind of leaving that in the past and moving together as a team — that’s what the focus has been.”
