Outside of the Rutgers game (who lets be honest is terrible) I don't think U-M has played one good game at night under Harbaugh. If not for some good fortune in Minneapolis they could be sitting at 1-6. Harbaugh is 24-3 in games that kickoff at 3:30PM or earlier, and could easily be 26-1 if not for "trouble with the snap" and "the spot." I get going on the road and playing in hostile environments under the lights is challenging, but there is a marked difference in U-M's play and execution at night. Might be time to change up how they prepare or the routine for night games? I'm at a loss.
