Go Blue: Michigan Vs. Northwestern

Well well well.... here were are going into week six with the Wolverines ranked 12 (in some polls) with a 5-0 record that must even secretly surprise coach Hoke.. just a little.
The big question on everyone mind: Is Michigan really that good or are they over hyped.

 

The Big House will be empty this weekend

This week the team travels for the first time to meet the Northwestern Wildcats for a Night Game in Evanston Ill. These two schools are both known for their academic excellence and although MI leads the all time record Northwestern has a better football program than most people think IMO. MI is a 7/12 point favorite in this game but the Wildcats have the home field and after last weeks disappointing loss in the last seconds to instate rivals the Illini placed a giant chip on the shoulders of the Wildcats. MI needs to ride the momentum and get a "W" in the first road game of the season to hush the naysayers and prove that they can live up to the ranking they have received. Northwestern hopes to keep MI out of the redzone where they have been particularly effective if they want to have a chance and throw into MI's secondary and get some points on the board early.

Tonight at 6 central (7 EDT) These two great schools will meet under the lights at Ryan Field in IL in a contest that arguably  has as much at stake for both schools as any game this season so far.

Good Luck Guys.
