Game Week Countdown - Wisconsin #3

 October 1, 2016, #8 ranked Wisconsin comes into Michigan Stadium to face #4 Michigan. Similar to the previous game in the countdown, it was a defensive battle. Ultimately defined by an amazing play by defensive back Jourdan Lewis.

After breaking out the "Train" formation for the first time I believe at the end of  the first quarter, Michigan scored on the first play of the second quarter on a short plunge by Khalid Hill.

M had 2 more chances to add points before the end of the half, but Kenny Allen, missed 2 field goals, keeping the score at 7-0.

The Badgers picked off a Wilton Speight pass early in the second half. They turned that into a touchdown pass to tie the score at 7.

The Wolverines mounted a long drive that ended in another missed field goal, this time by Ryan Tice.

Michigan finally broke back on top with a long Speight pass to Amara Darboh down the western sideline. 

The Wolverine defense ended the last two drives by Wisconsin with interceptions to seal the 14-7 win
