Third Quarter
Michigan scored a field goal on its first possession of the second half, and Appalachian State responded in kind, making the score 31–20. Michigan's next possession ended in a potential disaster, with Brandon Minor fumbling and the Mountaineers recovering on the Michigan 28. However, Appalachian State could not take advantage; after three downs, they remained on the 28, and Julian Rauch's 46-yard field goal attempt failed, hitting the upright.
The Wolverines then went three-and-out. Appalachian State's next possession ended in a lost fumble on their own 31. Michigan was able to take full advantage, as six plays later Hart scored his second touchdown of the day on a 4-yard run. Carr chose to attempt a two-point conversion, but the Wolverines were unsuccessful. The quarter ended with the Mountaineers up 31–26 and with the ball.
