Coming off its second and final bye week, No. 18 Michigan travels to "the friendly confines" of Wrigley Field for a neutral site matchup against Northwestern this afternoon.

The Wolverines (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten) have won three straight but are coming off a lackluster performance two weeks ago in a 21-16 win over Purdue. Michigan will look to bounce back with a better outing today against the Wildcats (5-4, 3-3), who have lost back-to-back games to Nebraska and USC the past two weeks to sour what had looked like a once-promising season for Northwestern.

While it appears linebacker Jimmy Rolder, edge rusher Jaishawn Barham and wide receiver Donaven McCulley are available this afternoon, the Wolverines will be without several key contributors including running back Justice Haynes, linebacker Cole Sullivan, left tackle Evan Link, tight end Hogan Hansen and safety Rod Moore.
