Kenny Allen brought out the driver and drilled a career long 51-yard field goal to give Michigan a 13-11 lead with 9:35 to play in the game.
Starting at its own 7, Michigan gave the ball to Chris Evans, who promptly picked up two first downs. Facing a third down, Jake Butt was able to haul in a short pass over the middle and get the Wolverines out across the 40. Wilton Speight would overthrow a wide open Amara Darboh down the field and the offense couldn't pick up a third down to keep the drive alive. Iowa helped out, however, roughing the center on Michigan's punt to bring Speight and company back out on the field.
