The University of Michigan football team escaped with a 28-16 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats Saturday afternoon (Sept. 29) on Ryan Field. Trailing for much of the first half, the Wolverines played inspired football in the final two quarters behind the play of senior quarterback Chad Henne (Wyomissing, Pa./Wilson HS), who returned to the lineup after missing two games with an injury, and a defense that forced turnovers on Northwestern’s final four possessions.
