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.
