The Wolverines makes a big come back after being down 21-0 with 3 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. The Golden Gophers controlled the first 11 minutes of the game with ease, as their ground and pound game caused the Wolverines Defense problems.
The Wolverines took their 4th possession down the field with a 4th and 2 conversion at the 50 yard line, which led to a Frederick Moore 32 yard screen for a TD leaving 34 seconds before Halftime. Michigan's defense stepped up on the ensuing possession as Makari Paige steps in front of a fade for a 64 yard house call to bring the score to 21-14.
Coach Phreakk believes all momentum shifted on these two possessions as the defense was able to tighten up and slow Taylor and the Gophers offense down. The defense was able to force 3 more interceptions and Edwards despite being shut down for most of the game, was able to score twice.
However, a controversy occurred or an EA Glitch hurt Minnesota as Darius Taylor randomly pitches the ball around a bunch of defenders, this turnover led to a Michigan 10 point lead.
Coach Phreakk said after the game that he had gotten lucky, UncleLbo was dominant in all aspects of the game and a coach to watch out for in the future. Great game coach, I look forward to more matchups in the future!
Minnesota played its most complete game of the year to this point. They went toe to toe with Big10 powerhouse Michigan in the Big House and for 3 quarters of the game controlled both sides of the ball. Michigan started their comeback right before the half as they grabbed a pick 6 to bring them within a score. Late in the 3rd with the game tied at 21 Minnesota threw a red zone interception that turned the game around and it was all Michigan would need as they drove down the field and put up 7. They would follow that up with a late fg to give them the 10 point win.
