Michigan Football: Highlights, instant impressions from rout of Northern Illinois

It’s hard to judge off just a few games but Michigan football’s running game looks elite and it could be as good as any in the country.

Michigan football was elite on offense Saturday against Northern Illinois. Actually, perfect would be a better adjective as the Wolverines scored touchdowns on their first nine possessions.

One of those was a long touchdown pass, 87 yards to be precise, as Cade McNamara connected with Cornelius Johnson on a score right before the half.

Yet, the game was well in hand by that point.
