Michigan uses grit to shed Penn State, stay in Big Ten East hunt

University Park, Pa. — Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has often spoken of the grit of his current team.

That grit was on display again at Penn State, as the Wolverines kept alive hope for a late run at the Big Ten East Division title.

They scored a late touchdown and held off the Nittany Lions to win 21-17 before 1093,54 at Beaver Stadium. Michigan is now 9-1, 6-1 in the Big Ten and plays at Maryland next week before returning home to face Ohio State.

"That was a statement we needed going into these next two games," tight end Erick All told the UM radio broadcast after the game.
