The Michigan Wolverines are 7-0 for only the second time since 2006. Coming off the bye week, the Wolverines were right to expect a stout early test from head coach Pat Fizgerald and the Northwestern Wildcats.
The first half was an uncomfortable, 10-7 slow grind worthy of Urban Meyer. But behind an unrelenting rushing attack in the second half, Michigan was able to pull away and easily secure a 33-7 victory.
This game was the perfect rust buster sandwiched between an idle period and next week’s trip to East Lansing to face the undefeated Michigan State Spartans.
