EVANSTON, Ill. Michael Bennett Jersey . -- Denard Robinson threw three interceptions in the first half, each more ugly than the one before it. In the second half, the Michigan quarterback was nearly flawless, and he kept No. 12 Michigans record perfect, too, leading the Wolverines a 42-24 win over Northwestern on Saturday night. Robinson threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more, helping Michigan come back from a 10-point halftime deficit. "My teammates kept pushing me and telling me to calm down and just do what you can do," Robinson said. "Some throws I could have easily put it on the guy. And I overthrew it. Theres some things Ive learned from it." Robinson threw for 337 yards and ran for 113 as Michigan (6-0, 2-0) scored on its first three possessions of the second half. The Wolverines trailed 24-14 after a first half in which Robinson threw three interceptions. Michigans Junior Hemingway caught five passes for 123 yards and Roy Roundtree added five grabs for 83 yards. Both receivers set up touchdowns with big gains by outleaping the Northwestern secondary on what Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald called "fifty-fifty balls." Dan Persa threw for 315 yards for Northwestern (2-3, 0-2) which blew a double-digit lead for the second straight week. Jeremy Ebert caught 11 passes for 87 yards for the Wildcats. But Northwestern was outscored 28-0 in the second half. So what happened? "Young man named Denard Robinson," Fitzgerald said. "Hes pretty good. Probably better than weve seen in a while." After shutting out Northwestern in the second half, Michigan has allowed just 21 second-half points in six games and has forced nine second-half turnovers. Michigan has won nine of the last 11 meetings between the schools, though they hadnt met since Northwesterns win at Michigan Stadium in 2008. With Michigan trailing by 10 points, Robinson came out firing in the second half. He connected with Roundtree on a 57-yard bomb to set up Robinsons two-yard touchdown scamper. After a stop, Robinson led an 80-yard drive, accounting for 68 yards himself, and Devin Gardner scored on a one-yard run to put Michigan up 28-24. Michigans Brandin Hawthorne then picked off Persas tipped pass, setting up Michael Shaws three-yard touchdown run. Northwestern had the ball for just 2 minutes, 32 seconds during the third quarter. "We possessed the ball better, so our defence was off the field," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said. "We play good defence when were off the field." Ebert fumbled after a short reception from Persa, giving Northwestern two straight turnovers after turning the ball over just two times total in their first four games. After shutting out Northwestern in the second half, Michigan has allowed just 21 second-half points in six games and has forced nine second-half turnovers. After winning their first five games at home, the Wolverines were playing their first road game of the season, though the Northwestern purple in the crowd at Ryan Field had a liberal sprinkling of Michigan maize that gave the game a Big House-like feel. The Wolverines started fast. Robinson hit Hemingway on a key third-down pass for 48 yards. The senior outleapt safety Ibraheim Campbell to make a tumbling catch, and Robinson found Steve Watson from nine yards out for the games first score. Persa led three long Northwestern scoring drives in the first half. Northwesterns 14 first-quarter points were more than Michigan allowed in its three previous games combined. The Wolverines entered the game allowing just 10.2 points per game, second in the nation and down from 35.2 last season. "Its frustrating," Persa said. "But we have no one else to blame but ourselves. We have to look inside ourselves to see what we need to do to pull it out." Meanwhile, Robinsons erratic throws kept Michigan off the scoreboard. Robinson entered the game with a Big Ten-high six interceptions and he threw three more -- all on overthrows -- in the first half. "We had three picks, probably should have had five," Fitzgerald said. Campbell had two of the interceptions, his second coming on the first play of the second quarter after Michigan reached Northwesterns 16-yard line. It was the second time all season that Michigan didnt score inside the 20 -- the first was a kneel-down to end last weeks 58-0 win over Minnesota. But after halftime, it was all Robinson and Michigan, which converted 14 for 17 on third-down conversions in the game. "The players and coaches all looked at each other and we know we hold each other accountable," Robinson said. "I thought I did alright in the second half. I stepped into my throws like I was supposed to." Russell Wilson Womens Jersey . - Adam Scott didnt have to look as far down the leaderboard to find players who suddenly are a real threat to win at Bay Hill. Bobby Wagner Jersey . Later, his catcher delivered the deciding stroke. Price struck out 10 in his Detroit debut and was long gone when Alex Avila homered in the 12th inning to lift the Tigers over the New York Yankees 4-3 Tuesday night.GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke left his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday after throwing just four pitches because of a mild right calf strain. "I think its minor, but well see," Greinke said. "I dont know exactly what it was, but it felt kind of like a cramp." Grienke was making his first spring start after saying he had "zero interest" making the trip for the Dodgers two regular-season games in Sydney, Australia, March 22-23 against Arizona. But now Geinke says hed like to start a game Sydney Cricket Ground. "If were going to be there, which obviously we are, then, yes, Id like to pitch over there," he said. "Im looking forward to flying over there. "No one wants me to say it this way, but in my vote, if we could go over there, my vote was not to," he said. "But more people wanted to go than not. So, now that we are going, I want to be there. I dont want to not go and have the rest of the team go and have to play and me sit here watching. I also dont want to go over there and watch. I want to go over there and play, since thats what weree doing. Cliff Avril Womens Jersey. " His initial comments, he said, were based on concerns that the trip would alter his spring training. "Its just the routine thing," he said. "I want to pitch good. I want to win games. When youre forced to do something youre not used to doing, its harder to be able to do it at the best of your abilities. Its still possible, but it makes it harder. "Ive never been real big on what peoples perceptions are of me," Grienke added. "The only goal is to try to win as many games as possible." Greinke left the mound after throwing two pitches to the Diamondbacks second hitter, Cliff Pennington. He retired Tony Campana on two pitches. Following the second pitch to Pennington, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly and Stan Conte, chief of the clubs medical staff, rushed to the mound. Greinke threw a couple of warmup pitches and then headed for the clubhouse. "I just was walking around the mound a little bit," Greinke said. "I didnt think I was going to need to come out this time, but after talking to them, thats what they decided. Id like to see how it feels later." cheap jerseys cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
