Rapid Reaction: Northwestern keeps it close in its 24-22 defeat against No. 18 Michigan


In the first drive, Jordan Marshall’s immediate rush up the middle gave three yards to the Wolverine offense, but luckily for the ‘Cats, they were quickly taken away after Aidan Hubbard pushed through to sack Bryce Underwood for a loss of five yards. Scrambling in the pocket, and with no receivers open, Underwood put his legs to use yet again as he picked up four yards to reach the NU 38 just before the clock ran out to end the first quarter.
