#2 Michigan struggled against #87 Northwestern.  Until 4:05 left in the third Quarter, the score was 10-3 Michigan.  Michigan finally eeked out another touchdown to make scoreboard respectable.  This week's struggle was a repeat of last week's struggle against Iowa which ended 20-6.  Michigan continues to struggle with teams outside the top 25 and has to rely on window dressing scoring in the later half of the game.

Michigan is a good team, but does not earn my vote for #2.
