'Not on our watch:' Michigan fends off Nebraska's upset bid to remain undefeated

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Michigan had not trailed at any point this season until Saturday night against Nebraska. With its undefeated season on the line, the Wolverines made the plays down the stretch to win.

Starting with defensive back Brad Hawkins.

With the score tied and less than two minutes remaining, Nebraska had the ball and the opportunity to drive for a winning score. Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez took the snap on third-and-1 and was stopped short. But Hawkins kept punching at the ball, prying it loose and causing a fumble.
