Shameless Self-Promotion Time (Northwestern)

Things and stuff. Stuff and things. Michigan played a thing on Saturday and something happened. Spoiler alert: that thing was pretty, pretty, pretty good. Read below to find out more:

• As usual, I talk about the game over at Maize n Brew. Once again, Michigan plunged into the great-generally-unknown-but-kind-of-known world of attempting to do offense without Denard Robinson. It went well for the most part save for a pick late in the game that at the time seemed like ultimate doom. Oh, also that thing called "the running game" is not even a thing so much as an abstract idea beyond our ken. Unfortunately, it was the defense that turned in its first disappointing performance of the season, (excluding the Alabama and Air Force games). No matter, as a win is a win. Can somebody please assuage my concern that we might not see Denard play again until bowl season? Please? Anyone?
