The Michigan Wolverines improved to 6-5 on the season, defeating the Northwestern Wildcats 50-6 on Saturday afternoon at Michigan Stadium.
Here are key takeaways from the game.
Bowl game secured
With Michigan reaching six wins on the season they’re now bowl eligible. Getting it done before the final regular season game against No. 2 Ohio State (10-1) was crucial, as no one is really giving Michigan a shot to beat the Buckeyes. A bowl game will be important for the development of some of Michigan’s younger players. The bowl game and the month of practices that come along with it will only make the team better in 2025.
