Game Summary: This game started off shaky for the Wolverines as they struggled to get anything going in the first 3 quarters of the game. Denard Robinson saw his passing struggle throughout the game, completing 4 passes for 98 yards and a touchdown to Junior Hemingway with little time remaining in the 2nd quarter. Robinson threw 2 interceptions and looked really bad in the first 3 quarters of this game. But he turned it around in the 4th quarter, breaking two long runs of 70 and 80 yards respectively when the game's result was still in question. Vincent Smith added an 8 yard TD run with little time left on the clock and the game well out of reach for the Broncos.

The Broncos played a very good game up until Robinson's touchdowns. They contained the Wolverine offense very well and played pretty well on offense as well, only to see the stingy Wolverine defense hold them to a couple of red zone field goals. The Wolverines play Notre Dame next week at home in the first ever night game at the Big House.
