Summary
Michigan erased a 3-0 halftime deficit to beat Penn State 24-19, with freshman Tommy Carr taking over after Bryce Underwood threw two first-half interceptions.
Carr went 5-for-7 for 47 yards and added a 12-yard rushing touchdown, helping ignite a second half that also featured Bryson Kuzdzal’s 43-yard scoring run and Jordan Marshall’s 1-yard plunge.
Penn State briefly pulled within 17-16 after a fourth-quarter touchdown and two-point conversion, but Rocco Becht then lost a fumble on a scramble with five minutes left.
That turnover set up Carr’s late touchdown, and although Becht later found Chase Sowell for a score—capping Sowell’s 11-catch, 151-yard day—Michigan recovered the onside kick to seal it.
The win steadied Michigan after an 0-2 start in Big Ten play, while Penn State fell to 3-4 heading into a bye before Purdue.
