Watch: Michigan converts key third-down with linebacker jump-pass

By Adam Gretz  |  Last updated 11/26/22

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is holding nothing back in Saturday's showdown against Ohio State.

With injury issues at running back, the Wolverines are using linebacker Kalel Mullings to fill in at the position on some snaps. There was probably nobody that expected him to do this.

That is sensational, and it clearly caught the Buckeyes off guard as it was easily converted for a big first down.

Michigan ended up turning that drive into a lengthy touchdown drive to take a two-score lead in the fourth quarter. 

It came after a questionable decision by Ohio State to punt on the plus side of the field, resulting in only a 25-yard flip in field position. 

The Wolverines responded with an emphatic 15-play, 81-yard touchdown drive that ate more than seven minutes off of the clock.
