State College, Pa. – Michigan was heavily penalized and needed critical red-zone defense and special teams plays to win on the road again, but the Wolverines prevailed in Happy Valley and they now head into their final regular-season game next week against Ohio State.
The Michigan fans among the 107,418 at Beaver Stadium began the "Beat Ohio" chant as the final seconds ticked off the clock.
Michigan defeated Penn State, 28-16, on Saturday to improve to 9-2 overall and 6-1 in the Big Ten. Penn State is 7-4, 4-3. If Ohio State defeats Michigan State later Saturday, Michigan and Ohio State will play for the Big Ten East Division title.
