The Spartans tried to make a play with no timeouts and 33 seconds left in the half, but that proved to be a bad idea as Tyler O'Connor was intercepted by Jourdan Lewis with 27 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
Michigan was able to add another field goal to its lead with a second 23-yard Kenny Allen field goal.
At the half, it's 27-10.
The Wolverines took over near midfield with two timeouts in their pocket. Wilton Speight completed a pass down to the 40 before hitting Amara Darboh at the 20-yard line with nine seconds left in the half.
