Cornerback Channing Stribling came up with a huge interception to give the Wolverines the ball at the Wisconsin 44 and another chance to add to its lead with 1:04 left before halftime.
Instead, Michigan came up empty-handed as Wilton Speight was sacked for a 2-yard loss on second down and Jehu Chesson was called for offensive pass interference on a deep ball near the goal line on third down, which Wisconsin declined.
The Wolverines punted the ball away and ran out the rest of the clock to take a 7-0 advantage into halftime that should’ve been more if not for two missed field goals by kicker Kenny Allen.
