No. 6 Michigan Cruises Past Northwestern, Improves to 7-0

For the second time in the Jim Harbaugh era, the Michigan Wolverines are off to a 7-0 start after their 33-7 victory over Northwestern on Saturday at the Big House.

The Wolverines have had some close calls this season, but they have been able to make the necessary plays to come out on top. Their defense has been mauling opponents, allowing just 15.5 points per game entering Saturday's matchup with the Wildcats.

Northwestern has been trying to find week-to-week consistency all season. Head coach Pat Fitzgerald's team has now alternated wins and losses through the first seven games.
