What happened

Another Saturday in Ann Arbor, another loss that fits in a shoebox: 18-21, and Penn State falls to 3-4 with the season's ceiling now somewhere around bowl eligibility. The turning point wasn't a drive or a call, it was the turnover column, and fans did the arithmetic out loud. "All of Michigan's points were off of turnovers and all 3 turnovers were from Rocco Becht," one wrote, while another settled on "this man is out of his goddamn depth at this level." Misery climbed from 77 to 93. Nobody is arguing.
