Malik Zaire was able to connect with Tyrie Cleveland for 22 yards on a big third down pass play that got the Florida offense out near midfield as the third quarter drew to a close. That was all the Gators could muster, though, as Zaire was gang tackled by the Michigan defense on third down and forced a punt.
Wolverines in control in third quarter
Ty Isaac kept another Michigan drive alive by running for a first down on third-and-13 against a Gators defense that was playing pass all the way. The Wolverines were able to get the ball across midfield before a Wilton Speight pass fell incomplete and forced a punt.
