Wolverines can't convert on fourth down
The Michigan defense forced another three-and-out and gave the ball back to its offense at its own 29. The offense was able to march into Penn State territory before stalling for the first time today when Jehu Chesson dropped a ball on fourth-and-two to give the ball back to the Nittany Lions at their own 39.
Questionable call benefits Wolverines
Michigan benefitted from a questionable targeting call on Penn State when Wilton Speight found tight end Devin Asiasi for a four-yard score on third down to push the lead to 21-0 with 14:09 to play in the second quarter.
