Michigan is set to host Northwestern in the final home game of the season, a matchup many view as the Wolverines’ last clear shot at a win before the regular season ends. With Ohio State looming, what was once considered a tune-up game in previous years now carries significant stakes, as both teams are battling for bowl eligibility.
To Northwestern’s credit, the Wildcats have shown plenty of fight this season, but their offensive struggles have kept them from finding much success. That said, Michigan can’t afford to overlook them. Northwestern boasts a strong defense, and if the Wolverines don’t bring their A-game, this contest could turn into a gritty Big Ten dog fight.
