Ann Arbor, Michigan– This picture here basically describes how todays game against Penn St, horrible! The wolverines started the game off going on a nice scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead, but the Nittany Lions offense came right back and scored in less then 2 min making it 7-7 in the 1st quarter.
The Nittany Lions ended up scoring 19 in the 1st half and Michigan going on a nice drive before the half but only got a 3 point FG making it 19-10, nothing to great in the 1st half.
Starting of the 3rd quarter the Wolverines kicked off to Penn St and return it  for a nice gain and 2 plays later the Penn St offense scores again.  Later the Penn ST offense will score again and at the end the 3 quarter up 32-10. So far the game has been controlled by Penn St, but errors on Michigan side have held them from scoring and helping Penn St to some scoring, and QB Darrly Clark has been pretty significant with 4 TD passes in on 3 qtr of play.
4th quarter the Penn St had the football for most of the quarter because of turnovers and pennalties.  On 4th and 4 Penn St will kick a 3 point FG with 5:25 bringing the score to 35-10 Penn St.  For the first time in the quarter Michigan will go on offense on the 5:25 mark for there first time in the 4th.  In the final 5 min of Michigan’s drive QB Tate drive the ball down to the 10 yard line going 2 downs and and getting sacked on the 3rd bringing it to 4th down. Rich Rod and the wolverines go for it on 4th down and QB Tate Forcier forces it in there and it get picked off, So the score remains 35-10 with 32 sec left and the Nittany Lions will take  a knee to end the game.
Todays overview: Michigan Football was probably at its worst its been all season today against Penn St. The wolverines looked good at the beginning going on a 70 yard scoring drive after that they really didnt do anything good. The Wolverines could not get anything going today and on top of that had pennalties with 4 turnovers in the game you can’t win with that. Other then that theres really not much to say the wolverines didn’t show up today. The Penn St offense walked all over us today and the D was pretty good.
