Blake Corum and the Michigan offense came up with a big-time response on the road against Penn State.

The first points of the game went in favor of the Nittany Lions, but even that drive ended with a big stand by the Wolverines. Michigan’s defense stood up to force a field goal in the shadow of its own end zone early on.
