Following an interception deep in OU territory, the Wolverines (2-0) scored on a 1-yard rush by Jordan Marshall to take a 17-10 lead with 7:53 to go in the game. Oklahoma could not even the score with any of its final three possessions as the Sooners dropped to 2-1 all-time against Michigan.
A 0-0 deadlock was broken by a 38-yard touchdown run by Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood with 47 seconds left in the first quarter. The Wolverines led 10-0 at halftime after adding a Trey Butkowski 40-yard field goal with 2:28 remaining in the second quarter.
The Sooners answered out of the half, cutting the deficit to 10-7 after a 90-yard drive resulted in a 22-yard Mackenzie Alleyne touchdown reception. It was his first reception as a Sooner. Reggie Powers III sacked Underwood for a seven-yard loss to stunt Michigan’s next drive before Tate Sandell tied the game at 10-10 with a 34-yard field goal.
