Published:
Brandon Watson sealed the deal for Michigan.
Late in the third quarter with the Wolverines hanging on to a 21-0 lead, Watson came up with an interception off Penn State quarterback Tommy Stevens and returned it 62-yards for a touchdown. It was his second-pick six of the season and third interception in eight games.
The pick-six gave Michigan a 28-0 lead entering the fourth quarter, essentially ending any chance Penn State had.
62 yards … To. The. (Big) House.

Michigan’s defense was stellar throughout the game and took everything away from the Nittany Lions.
Watson has 24 tackles for the Wolverines this season to go along with his three interceptions. He also had four pass break-ups entering Saturday’s game.
