Second Quarter
The Mountaineers went on to tie the game again, completing their drive with a 9-yard touchdown pass from Edwards to Hans Batichon. The Wolverines went three-and-out on their next possession, and the Mountaineers got the ball back on the Michigan 37-yard line after a 16-yard punt return by Jackson and a Michigan personal foul. Five plays later, the Mountaineers took their first lead of the game, with Jackson catching a 20-yard pass from Edwards.
Michigan took the ensuing kickoff and drove to the Appalachian State 35, but the drive stalled there. Carr gambled on fourth-and-5, choosing not to attempt a long field goal or punt. A Henne incompletion gave the Mountaineers the ball again. Nine plays and 65 yards later, the Mountaineers were ahead 28–14, with Edwards finishing the drive on a 6-yard run. The Wolverines got the ball back with less than 2 minutes left and drove the ball to the Appalachian State 5; when the drive stalled there, the Wolverines cut the lead to 28–17 on a 22-yard field goal by Jason Gingell with 16 seconds left.

Famous quotes containing the word quarter:
“I was able to believe for years that going to Madame Swann’s was a vague chimera that I would never attain; after having passed a quarter of an hour there, it was the time at which I did not know her which became to me a chimera and vague, as a possible destroyed by another possible.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“In the haunted house no quarter is given: in that respect
It’s very much business as usual. The reductive principle
Is no longer there, or isn’t enforced as much as before.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
