Today on Out of the Blue, the boys cover everything you need to know about Michigan Football’s upcoming game against Northwestern:

Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore emphasized the importance of getting players healthy as the team approaches the latter part of the season.

Michigan is still in the hunt for a Big Ten championship and a spot in the playoff. To achieve either of those goals, the Wolverines must beat Northwestern, Maryland and Ohio State to close the regular season. The Wildcats (5-4, 3-3) figure to put up a fight.

Is the game vs Northwestern a tune-up, or a legitimate test? What should Michigan’s offensive approach be? We answer those questions and more in this week’s Roundtable:

N o. 18 Michigan had a hiatus from the College Football Playoff last season, but the Wolverines have made three of the last four -- including a 2023 national championship. Heading into the home stretch of the season, the program still has an outside shot to reach the postseason again.

The 2025 Michigan high school football playoffs continue Friday and Saturday across the state with the regional finals round for 11-man football and state semifinals for 8-man football.
