As Michigan's offense came off the field after its final drive, sophomore Darryl Stonum walked all the way to the farthest left spot on the farthest left bench, completely removed from the rest of the team.

He sat there, head down, mulling over the Wolverines' embarrassing 35-10 loss to No. 13 Penn State, a defeat that was essentially sealed during the Nittany Lions' 13-point third quarter. Both of Michigan's other losses, to Michigan State and Iowa, came down to the games' last minutes.

It was Penn State's first win in Michigan Stadium since 1996, due in large part to the Michigan offense and defense having their worst games this season.

"(I'm) obviously disappointed in our performance, but I'm not discouraged," Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said. "We can’t beat ourselves with the turnovers and mistakes and things like that. When you play a good football team like Penn State and you have some of those mistakes, it’s gonna snowball on you."

The offense was marked by poor quarterback play from both Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson, who combined for three turnovers and completed just 40 percent of their passes.

And on the other side of the ball, it wasn't much better, with veterans such as linebackers Stevie Brown and Obi Ezeh making key mistakes on multiple touchdowns.

Senior Brandon Graham had the lone solid performance for Michigan. He finished with seven tackles — 3.5 of those tackles for loss — and the first blocked punt of his career.

"Brandon Graham is an outstanding football player," Rodriguez said. "He's a great leader on this team. I think he shows up in every game and makes big plays. Unfortunately, we didn't do enough."

Right from the get-go, Michigan and Penn State traded high-yardage touchdown drives.

The Wolverines put together a well-balanced, 11-play scoring series that lasted three minutes and 49 seconds, which included a 20-yard reception by sophomore Martavious Odoms that moved the ball to the three-yard line. Senior Brandon Minor's one-yard touchdown rush put Michigan on the board. It was the first first-half touchdown the Nittany Lions had allowed all season.

But unfortunately for Michigan, center David Molk, who hadn't played since he broke his foot against Eastern Michigan on Sept. 19, hobbled off the field just as the Wolverines crossed midfield on the drive. Molk returned to the field at the start of the third quarter but limped between plays. Fifth-year senior David Moosman, who filled in for Molk during his five-week absence, moved over to center for the majority of the game.

"Moosman’s a good player, too, but it seemed like we had a little rhythm (on the first drive)," Rodriguez said. "Not that the rhythm was lost, but I think the guys that touch the ball on every snap are the QB and the center, and when I think a little bit of the rhythm may have been disrupted there."

Molk said after the game that he would be fine, but didn't elaborate or specify a timetable for return.

Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Junior Hemingway was also injured in the game during a punt return. As Hemingway was waiting to field the kick, cornerback Donovan Warren was pushed helmet first into Hemingway's right knee. Rodriguez said did not know the extent of Hemingway's injury after the game.

Penn State's defensive struggles on Michigan's touchdown drive looked minuscule compared to the Wolverine defense on the ensuing drive — and for the rest of the game. Nittany Lion running back Evan Royster rushed 41 yards on the second play of the series.
