The Wolverines used 11 plays to drive 75 yards after the opening kickoff and take the lead. Ronnie Bell scored on a 16-yard reverse.

Michigan's second scoring drive required 13 plays as the Wolverines settled for Jake Moody's 44-yard field goal at 8:28 of the second quarter.

Moody drilled a 35-yard field goal with nine seconds remaining in the half for the 13-0 lead.

McCarthy eluded the blitz on a third down and found Donovan Edwards in the back of the end zone on a 12-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter and a 20-0 margin. That capped a 10-play, 67-yard drive featuring an 18-yard hookup from McCarthy to tight end Luke Schoonmaker.

Iowa finally got on the scoreboard with Kaleb Johnson's 2-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter. The touchdown was set up by Petras' 28-yard completion to Nico Ragaini and cut the Wolverines' lead to 20-7.

The Hawkeyes gained 78 yards on 13 plays during their next possession but turned the ball over on downs at the Wolverines 6 with 5:41 remaining.

Iowa then held the Wolverines without a first down but Petras was sacked twice after the Hawkeyes got the ball back. Corum capped Michigan's victory with a 20-yard touchdown run with 1:19 remaining.

Petras' 5-yard pass to Luke Lachey with eight seconds left completed the scoring.
