Michigan Suffers its first loss on the year 26-20 in OT.

by admin on October 3, 2009

Michigan goin into the 4th quarter didn’t have much goin for them the whole game until the 4th quarter.  Michigan down 20-6 with 5 min left in the game, scored there first TD in the game at around the 4 min mark made the game 13-20.  The Michigan D next series holds the Spartans again giving the Wolverines another shot to score and take this game into OT and thats exactly what happened the wolverines scored with 2 sec left in the game making it 20-20 and goin into OT.  Michigan getting the ball first in OT gets the ball down to the 7 yard line and on a throw from Forcier is tipped and intercepted.  With that the spartans all they need is a 3 point FG and they would win.  But on the 23 yard line and 3rd and 7 the Michigan St spartans run the ball after to missed tackels the RB runs it in for the TD and giving Michigan St a 26-20 win over #22 Michigan giving the wolverines there first loss of the year now 4-1.  Final thoughts it was a great game, a great rivalry game but the wrong team one. I think Tate stuck in there and did great at the end of the game and without that INT he threw at the end the wolverines could have came out of there with a comeback win.
