Zvada's Walk-Off Field Goal Lifts No. 18 Michigan Past Northwestern at Wrigley Field

Five turnovers underscored lingering flaws as Michigan stays in the postseason conversation.

Overview

  • Dominic Zvada drilled a 31-yard kick as time expired after earlier misses from 34 and 60 yards.
  • Freshman Andrew Marsh caught 12 passes for 189 yards, a program freshman single-game mark since at least 1979, including a toe-tap 21-yard grab on third-and-10 to extend the winning drive.
  • Michigan outgained Northwestern 496-245 but gave the ball away five times, with two Bryce Underwood interceptions and three fumbles.
  • Underwood finished 21-of-32 for 280 yards, and Jordan Marshall ran 19 times for 142 yards and two touchdowns.
  • The Wolverines improved to 8-2 and 6-1 in the Big Ten, securing a fourth straight win that keeps CFP hopes alive before visits to Maryland and then Ohio State on Nov. 29.
