Social media reacts to Michigan crushing Northwestern, becoming bowl-eligible

Michigan finally played a complete game and it took just 11 games to do so. The Wolverines quickly got things started after Aamir Hall intercepted Northwestern's Jack Lausch and the Wolverines went down the field for a score. The Michigan defense continued to suffocate the 'Cats offense and Michigan never looked back.
The maize and blue ran the ball down Northwestern's throats and Davis Warren looked sharp for the most part -- outside of a throw to Colston Loveland in double coverage that was picked off. Warren got Tyler Morris involved quite a bit on the evening, catching seven passes for 64 yards. Star tight end, Loveland, caught for a score, but never returned to game action after the halftime break.
Following Michigan's 50-6 win over Northwestern, there was plenty of buzz surrounding the Wolverines' win over the 'Cats. Here are some of the best reactions to the win, and with Ohio State looming next week.
Michigan has the chance to do the funniest thing ever next week.

It took 11 games for #Michigan to play a complete game. Wolverines are playing as well as they've played all year. Good sign with a certain game looming.

I fully understand this is just Northwestern. But in a season that’s been absent of boring, convincing wins, it sure is nice to watch a boring, convincing win.

I don't care that it's against Northwestern. You've gotta love a performance like this from the Wolverines heading into the biggest game of the season.
