Ann Arbor — It was one of those games that Michigan just had to get through and along the way created some memorable moments like “The Hurdle” — fullback Ben Mason leaping over a defender — and “The Whirlybird” — Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh’s description of a spin-out trouble-avoidance move by quarterback Shea Patterson.
Michigan (5-1, 3-0 Big Ten) plowed through Maryland, 42-21, giving up two offensive touchdowns in the fourth quarter — the Terrapins' only score early in the game was on a kickoff return — to push its win streak to five games.
