Michigan took a 16-14 lead over Penn State to halftime, but despite the break in play, the tension remained in the air. As both teams headed into the tunnel for halftime, the two teams came together to talk even more trash instead of heading their separate ways.
The Wolverines dominated the half in every stat but the score, as Penn State’s two first half touchdowns came on an interception returned for a score and after a Sean Clifford 62-yard run set up a goal-line touchdown. At one point, Michigan had 17 more first downs than Penn State.
