'We're fighters': Michigan uses late takeaway to escape Nebraska, remain unbeaten

Lincoln, Neb. — Coaches will often say each win counts the same. They do, of course, in the win-loss column, but sometimes there’s one that stands out and carries more meaning.

Ninth-ranked Michigan had that game on Saturday night at Nebraska. For the first time this season the Wolverines trailed in a game, and in the challenging, raucous environment at Memorial Stadium, they had to find a way to win.

The Wolverines saw a 13-0 halftime lead evaporate and the lead change three times in the fourth quarter but came out on top, 32-29, before 87,380.
