ANN ARBOR, Mich. —There are days on the football field where nothing goes right from start to finish. And those days usually start with mental breakdowns, not physical ones. For No. 13 Northwestern, that was surely the case in a 38-0 shellacking at the hands of the No. 18 Michigan Wolverines.
And while the Wildcats have made mistakes during this still-impressive start to the season, no team had pounced on them like Michigan. Perhaps that's because no team had the individual talent across the board that Michigan has.
It started, well, with the first play. Jehu Chesson caught Matt Micucci's short kick, angled right and found.
