Ann Arbor – Michigan's defense continues to make a statement.
A huge statement.
But it was receiver Jehu Chesson on the opening kickoff who set the tone for the 18th-ranked Wolverines as they upset No. 13 and unbeaten Northwestern 38-0 before a homecoming crowd at Michigan Stadium on Saturday. The Wildcats had allowed 35 points total through five games.
The Wolverines have scored 97 unanswered points and have three straight shutouts for the first time since 1980. U-M also had three straight in 1971 and 1973.
Michigan is 5-1, 2-0 Big Ten, while Northwestern is 5-1, 1-1.
