Concern for Michigan assistant football coach Mike Hart after a scary incident on the Wolverines' sideline

Michigan running backs coach Mike Hart suffered a seizure and collapsed while on the team's sideline during Saturday's game at Indiana.

Hart fell to the ground suddenly and required emergency attention from trainers, who placed him on a cart and removed him from the field to receive further attention.

From there, Hart was taken to the local hospital by ambulance to receive a more detailed examination by doctors.

Hart was responsive and alert on the cart as he was leaving the field, and gave a thumbs up to the crowd as he departed for the locker room.

Members of the Indiana staff were also concerned; Hart served as running backs coach and associated head coach at IU from 2017 to 2020.

Michigan players and assistant were visibly emotional on the sideline after Hart was taken from the field, sharing embraces before the game resumed.
