Northwestern Opponent Links, Week 6: Michigan Wolverines

Now 5-0 and the No. 13 team in the country, Northwestern faces its toughest challenge yet tomorrow afternoon as the Wildcats head to Ann Arbor to play No. 18 Michigan. Both teams have stellar defenses but less-than-impressive offensive units, so it probably won't be a shootout.

Here are some last-minute notes and links on the Wildcats' next Big Ten opponent:

  • 247 Sports' Michigan site has three keys for Michigan to win this game. Not surprisingly, the first one centers around stopping the Northwestern rushing attack.
  • Wolverines' head coach Jim Harbaugh appeared on an Detroit radio show this week, and said that his quarterback, Jake Rudock, is practicing better now than he has all season.
