The Michigan Wolverines escaped Happy Valley with a win over the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, coming up with a 21-17 victory. This one felt like a typical Jim Harbaugh coached game. On the road, against one of the better teams in the Big Ten, Michigan could not put the game away despite countless opportunities.
It was a textbook way for Michigan to lose a tough game in November. The Wolverines started awfully slow, surged back to take the lead, and then nearly choked it away at the end. But this time was different.
