Michigan has posted consecutive shutouts for the first time since 2000 and hasn't had three in a row since 1980.

Nobody is allowing fewer points per game than Michigan and Northwestern.

Coach Jim Harbaugh's unit has posted back-to-back shutouts, though it will take the field for the first time without injured defensive end Mario Ojemudia.

Points are expected to be at a premium in Saturday's Big Ten matchup in Ann Arbor as the No. 18 Wolverines look to stop the 13th-ranked Wildcats from starting 6-0 for the first time in 53 years.
