Michigan punctuated its win at Northwestern with a sack from Josh Uche to end the game, the sixth produced by the defense after things started so sluggishly for the Wolverines.
After trailing by 17 early in the second quarter, Wolverines ended five of the Wildcats’ six second-half possessions with a sack. Kwity Paye and Uche each had two sacks.
Northwestern, which had 105 yards in the first quarter and finished with 202, was held scoreless in the second half of Michigan’s 20-17 comeback victory last Saturday at Ryan Field. Michigan is 4-1, 2-0 Big Ten, but dropped a spot to No.
