Looking back at what happened in Michigan football's 20-17 win at Northwestern, and a look ahead to Saturday’s Big Ten game vs. Maryland.
What we learned vs. Northwestern
U-M is 2-for-2 when it comes to starting out a football game horribly on the road. The Wolverines spotted Notre Dame a 17-point lead and couldn't recover during the season-opener in South Bend. Michigan spotted Northwestern — nowhere near as good as the Irish — a 17-point first-half lead Saturday but found a way back. Michigan had to score 20 unanswered points and put together its biggest comeback since 2011 to get the job done.
