Michigan Monday: Too Early Look at Northwestern

It's always strange watching Big Ten Football when Michigan isn't playing and some teams just don't change.  Iowa does what they do, plays a close one and loses by a field goal at the end.  Penn State puts up a great effort against IU and then coughs it up in the end, and Washington can't play on the road.   Tigers don't change their stripes. 

Northwestern 5-4

Best Win: Penn State 

Worst Loss: Purdue 

Pass: 169.9 (119th)

Run 181.4 (42)

Points given up: 19.1 (21st) 

Points Scored: 21.9

Line: Michigan -11.5

Northwestern is on a two loss streak with recent losses to Nebraska and USC.  They have Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois to get to Bowl eligibility.  

I'm very happy its a noon kick and I hope my flight doesn't get cancelled, its also forecasted to be unseasonably warm on Saturday and I will take 65 in November anytime!  

Michigan needs to be careful in this game, Northwestern is not terrible and will play you tough.  If Michigan doesn't play clean, the Wildcats could steal a W.  Michigan needs to be healthier then they were against Purdue to win this one. 

  • Sherrone gets mentoring from Jim Harbaugh and Nick Saban.  That is pretty smart actually. 
  • No time yet for Maryland game, will get it next weekend. 
  • Big Ten tells USC and Michigan too bad we are taking the private equity money.
