Michigan running back Carlos Brown (23) breaks away from coverage during the second quarter of an NCAA college football game against Northwestern, Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008, in Ann Arbor, Mich.
ANN ARBOR - The 16 Michigan seniors' final home game was a dubious one indeed.
Northwestern won 21-14 at the Big House Saturday, handing the Wolverines their school-record eighth loss this season. UM finished the home portion of its schedule at 2-5, which is a school record for home losses.
The Wolverines led 14-7 at halftime thanks to quarterback Nick Sheridan's three-yard touchdown run and a blocked punt scooped up by Ricky Reyes and taken in for a three-yard score.
Northwestern tied it and went ahead on two third-quarter touchdown passes by C.J. Bacher.
UM's final three drives ended in a Steven Threet interception in the end zone and incomplete passes by Sheridan on fourth downs, including one deep in Wildcats territory.
Northwestern snapped a five-game losing streak to the Wolverines and won at Michigan Stadium for the first time since 1995.
UM (3-8) will finish the 2008 season at rival Ohio State next week.
