The Wolverines took over on downs and withstood Wisconsin's late touchdown. This time, his block of a 36-yard field goal attempt helped set up Wisconsin's first touchdown. Fletcher flew around the corner off the left side of the Michigan formation and laid out to block Jeff Del Verne's kick. Wisconsin took over at its own 30 and drove 70 yards in six plays to cut the deficit to 14-9. The Badgers simply met their match.
Someone has to win.
I thought they had a good plan and they probably out-executed us because we never could establish anything. Let's not make any secrets about it. We knew that was a good defense coming in. A lot of those guys have been back and they've proven that they were good. After giving up 88 yards in 14 carries in the first half to Wisconsin's Ron Dayne, Michigan held the star running back to no yards in eight attempts in the second half.
