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.

“Somewhere between a third and a quarter of all people living in America today were born between 1946 and 1965 and if you think you’re tired of hearing about us, you should try being one of us.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“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)
