The Wolverines forced Penn State to punt on their next drive, and after a nine-play drive, Rivas gave the Wolverines the lead with a 47-yard field goal. Two plays later, Michigan cornerback Leon Hall intercepted Robinson, and the Wolverines looked to be in control of the game once again. Michigan drove into field goal range, but instead of taking a long 51-yard field goal, Michigan punted to the Penn State 19-yard line.

With just under four minutes to go in the game, Penn State had 81 yards standing between them and victory. Robinson looked like a pro as he led his offense down the field and converted a fourth-and-seven. With no time-outs left, he capped the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run to give his team a 4-point lead. With fifty-three seconds left in the game, it looked as though Penn State would end their losing streak.

On the ensuing kickoff, Michigan’s Steve Breaston returned the ball to near midfield, giving his team a chance to win the game. Henne led his team to the Penn State 10-yard line, and with one second left on the clock, the Wolverines had one final play to determine the outcome of the game.
