Michigan Football Film Room: How Tommy Carr sparked win over Penn State

Michigan secured a 21-18 comeback victory against Penn State on October 17, 2026, following a pivotal quarterback change. Freshman Tommy Carr took over at the start of the second half, leading an offense that generated 21 points after struggling early in the contest.

Carr contributed 47 passing yards and 36 rushing yards, including a touchdown, while helping the Wolverines capitalize on three second-half turnovers forced by their defense. This win marked a rare offensive outburst for the program, which has only reached that scoring threshold in a single half four times since the departure of Jim Harbaugh.

The team's defensive unit continued its strong season, maintaining a top-tier national ranking in yards allowed per play and total defense.
