The Michigan defense forced 3 critical fumbles in the game, two inside their own 25 yard line as FSU was driving to score, and dominated the time of possesion to control the game.
After FSU scored a TD to take a 7-3 lead with 36 seconds remaining in the first half, Michigan drove back down field and scored a TD on a miraculous tipped pass from 52 yards out to regain the lead 10-7 at halftime.

A few plays later, Michigan RB Stephen Hopkins scampered 65 yards to pay dirt to give the Wolverines a 17-7 lead. Michigan kicker Seth Broekhuizen was clutch in the game as well, converting on 4 field goals in the game.
