...With the score 16-13, Michigan leading PennState, the Nittany Lions were sacked twice and basically a third time for a safety with about two minutes to play. Score, 18-13, now a five-point Wolverine lead, and PennState has to free kick it to Michigan from their own 20.
Virtually always, it's a punt rather than a teed-up kick, since a punter has better distance and success in these situations. But in this case, the Lions cannot afford to give them the ball, so for the first time in our recollection, we saw an onside kick following a safety. (It failed, so Michigan virtually recovered the ball in the red zone, fell on the ball and won a surprising victory given the disasters occurring in Ann Arbor these days.)
