Ford EV Battery Plant Rides Bumpy Road in This Michigan Town

MARSHALL, Mich.—Rick Sadler doesn’t like it when he looks across the North Branch of the Kalamazoo River and sees light towers and construction equipment on the site of a planned electric vehicle battery plant next to this small, south-central Michigan city. “We can hear them working six days a week, 6 in the morning sometimes,” said Sadler, who lives in a subdivision near the river and is among local residents who oppose the plant.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Ohio State Can Still Reach the College Football Playoff—With a Lot of Help

That’s the only word for it,” he said.What comes next for the Buckeyes will be no less nerve-racking: waiting for everyone else to determine whether they still stand a chance of making the 2023 College Football Playoff.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Michigan Holds Off Ohio State to Win Again Without Jim Harbaugh

ANN ARBOR, Mich—Defending itself against scandal a few weeks ago, Michigan’s top brass was ready to argue in a court of law that it would be impossible for the Wolverines to win their biggest games without head coach Jim Harbaugh. It especially needed him on the sidelines for the annual shootout against Ohio State. The panic levels were apocalyptic, the predictions dire.In the end, however, Michigan stared down the biggest game of a title-chasing season by doing what it had already done five times this year: win without its head coach. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

What Does Jim Harbaugh Do on the Sidelines, Anyway?

Michigan is playing its biggest game of the season against Ohio State on Saturday, with a spot in the College Football Playoff potentially on the line. And as has become common this year, head coach Jim Harbaugh won’t be there. Harbaugh is still serving his three-game suspension from the Big Ten Conference over the sign-stealing scandal currently embroiling the school. This weekend will mark the sixth contest of 2023 in which Harbaugh has been absent; he previously served a different three-game suspension to address a separate NCAA investigation. With or without Harbaugh, the Wolverines are 11-0 and ranked No. 3 in the nation. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8
