Michigan-Northwestern recap: The good, bad and ugly from the Wolverines' win at Wrigley

from The Michigan Insider · host 247Sports, Michigan Football, Michigan Wolverines, Michigan, Michigan athletics, College Football

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zuniga break down the Michigan football team's 24-22 win over Northwestern at Wrigley Field, and both the good and bad the Wolverines showed in the win. They open the episode with a look at the offense. They discuss Michigan's down-to-down success — including 496 yards of offense, 25 first downs and nine drives into Northwestern territory — but also the turnovers, missed field goals and other hiccups that made the game so close. They discuss the passing game's progress, the running back injury situation and Andrew Marsh's exceptional game. In the second half of the episode, they look at Michigan's defense. They deliberate on the room's successes, but also why the lack of sacks and big plays is concerning. They also discuss some soft spots in coverage, the special teams unit's continued struggles and how to look at Michigan at 8-2 on the season.
