First Quarter
Michigan took the opening kickoff and drove 66 yards in six plays for the opening score, a 4-yard run by Hart. The Mountaineers immediately struck back on the next possession, with Armanti Edwards hitting Dexter Jackson for a 68-yard touchdown pass on their third play from scrimmage. Michigan returned the ensuing kickoff to their 43 but were unable to move the ball, going three-and-out. Their punt left the Mountaineers on their own 16, and the Wolverines defense forced a three-and-out. The ensuing punt left the Wolverines in good field position on their own 48, and they took advantage, with Henne capping off a 10-play drive with a touchdown pass to Greg Mathews. The quarter ended 14–7 in favor of the Wolverines, but the Mountaineers were driving with the ball on the Michigan 32.

Famous quotes containing the word quarter:
“Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“American family life has never been particularly idyllic. In the nineteenth century, nearly a quarter of all children experienced the death of one of their parents.... Not until the sixties did the chief cause of separation of parents shift from death to divorce.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
