For most of the Outback Bowl, things seemed to finally be going the way of Michigan football. The Wolverines were forcing turnovers and led 19-3 late in the third quarter.
However, as the Wolverines drove for another touchdown, one that could have put Michigan football in front 26-3, Karan Higdon fumbled. Then it all went downhill from there.
The Gamecocks scored a few plays later and it was 19-9. After a fumble by Sean McKeon on a weird third-down call, South Carolina’s Jake Bentley threw another touchdown, trimming the advantage to 19-16.
