Ann Arbor — With the team trailing by 17 points, Michigan pass-game coordinator Pep Hamilton looked from his perch in the press box at Northwestern’s Ryan Field at the sideline and saw quarterback Shea Patterson rallying his teammates.

All of them. Defensive and special teams players included.

Patterson led a late touchdown drive for the 20-17 win to improve the Wolverines to 4-1, 2-0 Big Ten.
