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.

Famous quotes containing the word quarter:
“I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“American family life has never been particularly idyllic. In the nineteenth century, nearly a quarter of all children experienced the death of one of their parents.... Not until the sixties did the chief cause of separation of parents shift from death to divorce.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
