ANN ARBOR -- Devin Gardner's had quite a month.

And it's not even half over.

The Michigan junior subbed in for Denard Robinson again Saturday during a 38-31 overtime win against Northwestern, and though he wasn't perfect, he was good enough.

With Gardner at quarterback over the past two weeks, the Michigan offense has looked quite a bit different than it has with Robinson under center.

And, part of that is a more vertical passing attack.

Robinson has averaged 7.9 yards per attempt in eight starts this season. Gardner over the past two games? Make it 11.12 yards per attempt.

More Michigan-Northwestern numbers:

520
