For the #4 game between M and PSU, 'll go with the 2002 battle in Ann Arbor.
Both teams came into the game with 4-1 records.
The game was a defensive battle, Penn State lead 13-7 going in to the 4th quarter.
Braylon Edwards scored early in the 4th on a pass from John Navarre and the PAT put Michigan ahead 14-13.
Penn State answered midway through the quarter and a 2-point conversion put the Nittany Lions up 21-14.
The Wolverines knotted it back up with just over 3 minutes remaining on another Navarre to Edwards pass.
Penn State made it midfield after a ridiculous "catch" that would in no way be a catch today, but could get no further and the two teams went to overtime. The first OT in Michigan Stadium History.
Penn State went first and M held them to a field goal to make it 24-21 PSU. Michigan had 2 chances to shut them out - Cato June jumped a pass and nearly intercepted on the goal line and then Robbie Gould missed the bad angle short field goal attempt, but M had jumped offside giving him a second chance.
Michigan got their chance and made the best of it - mostly on the ground with Chris Perry finally bullying his way in to the end zone for the 27-21 win.
