Michigan comes home at 1-2 to face a highly ranked Wisconsin, sound familiar. Let's hope M can get a 2008 game result combined with a better remainder of the season.
Rich Rodriguez's squad played maybe the worst first half of football in Michigan history - they were lucky to hold the Badgers to 4 field goals to limit the score to 19-0.
M finally broke through late in the 3rd quarter, Steven Threet found Kevin Koger down the middle to make it 19-7.
After stopping the Badgers, M got the ball back and cut further into the lead when Brandon Minor hit a big hole and ran 34 yards to the score - 19-14.
Wisconsin's lead lasted only 3 more seconds. Allen Evridge's next pass attempt was batted up into the air and John Thompson caught it and rumbled in the to the endzone to make it 20-19, Michigan. M went for 2 to try to get up 3, but failed.
Michigan added another score - set up by a long Threet keeper - with Sam McGuffie running it in to make it 27-19 with just over 5 minutes left.
Wisconsin mounted an 11 play drive that ended with fumble on the Michigan 8 yard line.
After a 3 and out, the Badgers had one last chance. Evridge hit David Gilreath with 13 seconds left to bring the score to 27-25.
It looked like a 2-point attempt tied the score, but an illegal formation penalty on the Badgers forced a second try. Evridge's pass fell incomplete.
Michigan wins 27-25 for their 500th win at Michigan Stadium.
