John O'Korn averted disaster when he dropped the ball on a six-yard scramble that Grant Perry jumped on top of. On third-and-4, O'Korn showed no hesitation in going right back up the middle for a first down run. Eddie McDoom set the Wolverines up with third-and-short after an 8-yard jet sweep, and Ty Isaac picked up the first down into Penn State territory with a run on the edge. Donovan Peoples-Jones dropped a pass on a bubble screen that would have gone for a big gain, and O'Korn was dropped for a sack on the very next play. On third-and-16, Peoples-Jones made an 8-yard grab but Michigan was forced to punt.
