ANN ARBOR, Mich — Michigan has won its’ last six meetings against Northwestern, and it hosted the Wildcats on Saturday for the first time since 2018.
The Wolverines continue their winning ways against NU on Saturday after they won, 33-7, as Michigan took home the first-annual Jewett trophy as well.
Michigan was favored by 23.5 points going into the game, and this was no sleep-walk for the maize and blue. If you didn’t watch the game and look purely at the stats, then it was domination, but Michigan looked as if it had a hangover in the first half after the bye week. The offense looked extremely lethargic out there and the defense allowed quite a few big-yardage plays.
Luckily, the players came out a little more fired up in the second half and outscored the Wildcats, 23-7. The offense showed a little more heart with better execution, and we even got to see JJ McCarthy do some razzle-dazzle with a few nice carries. Then defense stepped up and created a couple of turnovers to set up fantastic field position for the offense.
Like in the first few games of the year, Michigan was able to run wild –294 yards to be exact. Both Blake Corum and Hassan Haskins rushed for over 100 yards and they both had two rushing touchdowns in the game — they were beasts.
Michigan remains undefeated at 7-0 and the big in-state showdown awaits next week with Michigan State. Here are three things we learned about Michigan after it defeated the Wildcats on Saturday.
