The OSU punt team got a look it liked deep in its own territory and tried to run a fake punt, but the Wolverines were ready for it and were able to snuff it out, giving the ball back to their offense at the Buckeye 22.
This time, Wilton Speight wouldn't be denied, throwing an 8-yard touchdown pass to Khalid Hill that gives Michigan a 17-7 lead with 6:37 to play in the third quarter.

Michigan got the ball down to the OSU 1, but Wilton Speight fumbled the exchange from his center and the Buckeyes recovered after it looked like the Wolverines were going to take control of the game.
