Michigan Vs. Northwestern

Well let's hear what I think about college football today.

Lets start with the first game I watched today, Michigan and Northwestern.
The Wolverines have looked pretty good the last couple weeks. At least they are competitive... Northwestern is pretty banged up playing their third string running back, and their hurt quarterback.
Michigan started out strong with a 14-7 lead, no problems moving the football in the first half. Once the offense got stagnant the defense couldn't stop the Wildcats. It went to halftime tied at 14. Michigan couldn't move the ball AT ALL in the second half, starting with 3 three and out possessions. Northwestern came out strong and scored quickly and that was the final score.

A disappointing game for all Michigan fans. Again they were unable to keep the lead late in the game. If they can put two halves together next year they could have a descent season.

On the other hand, Northwestern has continually been improving season after season. And could be a scary team again next year. Still probably 2 or 3 good years from being added to the Big Ten champion conversation.
