ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The 109,833 fans who mockingly cheered Michigan for holding onto the ball on kickoff returns now have a different reason to be excited.

Michigan's defense has completely flustered Allan Evridge, P.J. Hill and the Wisconsin offense, buying enough time for Wolverines' redshirt freshman quarterback Steven Threet to get going. Threet led Michigan on scoring drives of 80 and 85 yards, settling into a nice rhythm with Greg Mathews and Martavious Odoms. A more creative passing attack has opened up rushing lanes, and Brandon Minor converted for a touchdown.

If Michigan holds on, all credit goes to a defense that hasn't allowed an offensive touchdown in the second half this year. John Thompson's interception return for a touchdown put Michigan in front for the first time today. Wisconsin is doing nothing right now. Where's John Clay?
