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:
“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)
“The oft-repeated Roman story is written in still legible characters in every quarter of the Old World, and but today, perchance, a new coin is dug up whose inscription repeats and confirms their fame. Some “Judæa Capta,” with a woman mourning under a palm tree, with silent argument and demonstration confirms the pages of history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
