Michigan football went on the road against No. 7 Penn State and very nearly put themselves into position for another thrashing like the one they experienced at Wisconsin, but at some point, a switch flipped.
The Wolverines showed a pulse, and a fight, that we did not see in Madison early this season in an environment that probably surpasses the one that they saw when they played the Badgers. They had the ball with a chance to tie late.
You guys know what happened next.
A 28-21 loss on the road is a respectable effort, but another frustrating example of why close just doesn’t cut it in Ann Arbor and at Michigan, a program that prides itself on competing for Big Ten Championships.
