Live blog: Evans punctuates dominant drive with TD

Running game makes its mark

Chris Evans punctuated a dominant drive from the Michigan offensive line and running backs with a three-yard touchdown run that brings the Wolverines lead to 35-3 with 2:42 left to play in the third quarter.

The running game accounted for all 80 yards on the drive.

After the Michigan defense forced a three-and-out and Penn State coach James Franklin seemed to wave the white flag by punting on fourth-and-one near midfield, Evans flipped field position immediately with a 37-yard scamper into PSU territory. Michigan rushed eight times with four different backs on the drive, marching their way down the field via the run.
