Northwestern Wildcats

The Michigan Wolverines ended their home season on a high note with a 50-6 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats. Key performances included Kalel Mullings' three touchdowns and a strong defensive showing that held Northwestern to just 127 total yards. The win secured bowl eligibility for Michigan with a 6-5 record, setting the stage for a much-anticipated game against Ohio State. The Wolverines' comprehensive performance under first-year head coach Sherrone Moore highlighted their strength as they continued their dominance over Northwestern.

In Week 12 of the college football season, the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes delivered a commanding performance to defeat the Northwestern Wildcats 31-7 at Wrigley Field. Despite an early setback, the Buckeyes rallied to score 31 unanswered points, largely due to key contributions from quarterback Will Howard and receiver Carnell Tate. Ohio State's defense was equally impressive, spearheaded by Jack Sawyer. This victory solidifies Ohio State's position as a top contender for the College Football Playoff.
