The No. 12 Michigan Wolverines came into this game at The Big House against the No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers with something to prove. While they may not have answered all the questions, they passed an important test heading into yet another pivotal matchup versus Michigan State next Saturday.

Game Recap

Second Quarter

- After neither team scored in the first quarter, a 81-yard Shea Patterson read option run puts Michigan in excellent field position. The drive is capped off with a Karan Higdon 2-yard TD run. Michigan leads 7-0

Third Quarter

- It looked as if Michigan was going to have to punt, but during the punt play the Badgers are called for roughing the snapper, and Michigan’s offense gets to head back on the field. The Wolverines make them pay, Shea Patterson finds the end-zone on a 7-yard read-option run. U-M then was able to convert on a two-point conversion. Michigan leads 21-7

Fourth Quarter
