    Michigan football hosts Northwestern this weekend with an excellent chance to secure bowl eligibility.

And while the defense returned the majority of its contributors from last season, injuries have plagued that side of the ball. Tom Gorski of Purple Wildcats on 247Sports joins "Behind Enemy Lines" to give the inside scoop on Northwestern and what to expect Saturday at the Big House.
