Saturday afternoon at The Big House was pretty stagnant. Going into halftime with only a three-point lead, the Michigan Wolverines needed a spark. That spark came after Northwestern’s first possession when Cornelius Johnson did his best Superman impression to block the Northwestern punt. Watch Johnson lay it all on the line to set the Wolverine’s up:

Johnson’s efforts led a few plays later to Hassan Haskin’s doing his best to “Hulksmash” his way through the Northwestern defense and into the end zone.

With Halloween just over a week away, the Wolverines took the opportunity to invoke some of the best superhero impressions they could to take a 17-point lead in the third quarter. What do you think of the effort, Nation? Have the Wolverines finally awakened against Northwestern?
