Michigan Wolverines Secure Bowl Eligibility with Dominant Win Over Northwestern

2024-11-24

The Michigan Wolverines achieved a commanding 50-6 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats in their final home game of the 2024 college football season. The match, held at Michigan Stadium, marked Senior Day for the Wolverines and was essential for securing bowl eligibility.

Michigan, now 6-5 overall and 3-4 in the Big Ten, showcased a dominant performance, limiting Northwestern (4-7, 2-6) to a mere 10 rushing yards while accumulating 201 rushing yards themselves. First-year head coach Sherrone Moore emphasized the importance of not underestimating the Wildcats, especially with a looming rivalry game against Ohio State next week.

Running back Kalel Mullings led the offensive charge with 92 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 12 carries. Quarterback Davis Warren completed 26 of 35 passes for 195 yards, including one touchdown despite throwing one interception. The Wolverines’ defense also contributed significantly, securing two interceptions during the game.

The scoring was widespread for Michigan, who finished the game with 396 total yards compared to Northwestern’s 127. The Wolverines jumped to a quick lead, scoring 10 points in the first quarter and maintaining control throughout, ending the half with a 17-6 advantage.

Key highlights from the game included Mullings’ impressive opening touchdown, a 10-yard score following a strong 47-yard run, and a late-game safety. Michigan capped off their performance with a final touchdown run by Tavierre Dunlap to push the score to 50 points, which was a season high for the Wolverines.

The victory not only secured bowl eligibility for Michigan but also continued their dominance over Northwestern, extending their winning streak against the Wildcats to eight games in the series. They now look ahead to their critical matchup against Ohio State, where they will aim to build on this momentum.
