BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Michigan running backs coach Mike Hart was carted off the field on a backboard and taken to a hospital for evaluation after collapsing on the sideline during the first quarter of Saturday’s game at Indiana.
Fox Sports reported that Hart suffered a seizure. A team spokesman said there was no update on Hart’s condition. Hart did give a thumbs-up sign before leaving the stadium.

Hart went down unexpectedly after Indiana tied the score at 7 with 4 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the quarter. Many Wolverines players dropped to one knee while coach Jim Harbaugh and other assistants watched trainers tend to Hart.
The scary incident appeared to affect the defending Big Ten champions, who went into the locker room tied at 10 with the Hoosiers. But after Hart talked to the team at halftime, the Wolverines promised to win the game for the coach — and they didn’t disappoint, cruising to a 31-10 victory to improve to 6-0 for the second straight season.

Hoosiers coach Tom Allen also walked across the field to see Hart, who previously served on Indiana’s staff.
Hart rushed for more than 5,000 yards at Michigan and is still the career rushing leader for the fourth-ranked Wolverines. He also played professionally for the Indianapolis Colts.
