Wisconsin Vs. Michigan: We May Have A Ballgame Here In The Big House

Michigan introduces their third kick returner of the game to open the second half, and Darryl Stonum takes it 32 yards, which helps offset the 10-yard penalty the Wolverines draw on the return.

Trailing 24-0, you'd expect Rich Rodriguez to pour on the offensive speed, and that's exactly what happens, with a little help from some Badger butterfingers. In less than five minutes, Denard Robinson hits Stonum down the right side for a 24-yard touchdown pass, and the Wolverines are on the board, 24-7. Three plays into Wisconsin's answering drive, receiver Isaac Anderson fumbles the ball away, and Robinson goes back to work, targeting Stonum for a 34-yard pass and running the last four yards off himself for a second touchdown. The score is now 24-14.

Wisconsin snaps out of it and gives the ball first to Montee Ball for four straight plays, then to James White for three, and White's last effort takes him 23 yards for an answering score. 31-14, Badgers.

After another lengthy kickoff return from Stonum, the Wolverines answer again, this time in just over two minutes. Robinson to Stonum again for 32 yards sets up an 11-yard Robinson TD run, and we've got a ballgame in the Big House.

Midway through this quarter, by the way, Denard Robinson breaks Beau Morgan's Division I-A quarterback rushing record of 1,503 yards. At the end of the third, Wisconsin leads, 31-21. For more on today's contest, follow along with our live game threads.
