Michigan-Northwestern recap: Wolverines find themselves in win over Wildcats. Can it work at Ohio State?

The Michigan Insider

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team’s 50-6 win over Northwestern, and the implications of such an impressive win with a trip to Ohio State looming next week.

They open with a look at Michigan’s offense, which smashed its prior season-highs in points and first downs, and ran for nearly 200 yards in the second half alone. They discuss the importance of the Wolverines finding their physical run game, why the passing game feels replicable moving forward and even look at some younger players who got more touches in the game.

In the second half of the episode, they look at the defense. They discuss Michigan’s sneaky-good defensive play lately, the defensive line’s pass-rushing success and, like on offense, younger players who impressed.

They close with an early peek at Ohio State, whether the Wolverines’ win moves the needle in that matchup and what Michigan must do in the next six days to maximize its upset potential.
