Michigan’s 13-7 halftime lead felt like a missed opportunity, perhaps one that would hurt later.
Quinn Nordin missed two field goals. Michigan settled for one after Josh Metellus returned an Alex Hornibrook interception to the Wisconsin 15-yard line. Other promising drives stalled after coverage sacks on Shea Patterson.
Jonathan Taylor and the Badger offense ran for 101 first-half yards at six a pop, exacerbating fears surrounding recent injuries on the interior defensive line.
Bo Schembechler always used to say that the team who scored first in the second half typically would come out on top.
