Penn St. jumped out early again in the second meeting after holding Mich. to a 3 and out the Lions marched 69 yards on 12 plays with Ki-Jana Carter finishing off the drive with an 8 yard TD scamper. He would gain 132 yards for the day.After adding a FG to end the 1st Qtr. the Wolverines went a nice drive themselves and found paydirt on a 1 yard Michael Hart TD plunge capping an 8 play 48 yard drive. "I was like here we go this is going to be a battle" said coach Kenny.His team would answer after Conway added another FG and following a Michigan punt the Lions found themselves pinned on their own 2 late in the 1st Half. I said "Lets just run the clock out and get into the lockeroom" Kijana Carter had other plans as he broke an inside run and sprinted 58 yards before running out of gas. 2 plays later Mike Archie would weave his way to the end zone on a screen pass to increase the lead to 27-7."We were really holding our breath that 2nd half, we know they are capable of moving the ball and putting points on the board, as they did in the first game" "But our defense really rose to occasion" Penn St. who ranked 12th in the 12 team league in rushing defense giving up 5.0 ypr came up big only allowing 3 ypc this night holding talented running back Michael Hart to 67 yards on 20 carries. "Anytime you keep him under 100 yards mission accomplished" The defense really got pressure on Chad Henne to sacking him 4 times. "He's someone you can't give time to sit back and find those talented receivers". Kerry Collins continued his stellar QB play completing 13 of 20 passes for 154 yards and 2 TD's. He now has 14 TD's to only 2 INT's for the season
