Game Balls: Chesson and Lewis stun & demoralize Northwestern

I just don't even know how to do this anymore. I mean, yesterday was a complete annihilation and demoralization of the opponent. How does one choose one player from each side of the ball when so many players contributed? Well, it's almost impossible.

The running backs had a wonderful game against the Wildcats, racking up 201 yards on a defense that was allowing only 117.4 yards per game (only Duke and Ball State rushed for over 100 prior to Saturday), and only one rushing TD. Michigan scored three times on the ground. De'Veon Smith proved that the offense pretty much goes the way he goes--if not in terms of touchdowns, then certainly in toughness and grit; it's reminiscent of the Mike Hart days in that regard.
