Reactions: Media Reacts To Michigan Football Defeating Penn State

Michigan finally played someone with a pulse and the Wolverines came out with a win. Michigan defeated Penn State in Happy Valley on Saturday afternoon, 24-15 to stay unbeaten with two games remaining.

The Wolverines also did so without their head coach Jim Harbaugh. Michigan found out it would be without Harbaugh just hours before the game once it was announced Harbaugh wouldn't receive his TRO from a judge.

With Sherrone Moore as acting head coach, the Wolverines run game and defense propelled Michigan to victory. Blake Corum found the end zone twice and Donovan Edwards score once himself.

Here's what the media had to say about Michigan after the game:

ESPN's Heather Dinich:

Michigan's ability to run the ball and its defense are so good in this game, but Penn State's defense is also clearly one of the best in the country. The offense is hard to watch. It's perpetually stuck in third-down situations it can't convert. It's Nov. Not seeing improvement.

Brett McMurphey:

Penn State’s James Franklin drops to 4-16 against Ohio State & Michigan

Dick Viatle:

BLAKE CORUM put a wrap on this game when @UMichFootball went up 24-9 vs @PennStateFball after Nittany Lions did not kick the football with 4:21 left . Many fans will ? that decision . Gave Maize & Blue great field position .PennSt scores with 2 min left & r down 24-15.

Yahoo Sports' Dan Wetzel:

Quality road win for Michigan, especially considering the circumstances.

If there is a gap between the Buckeyes and Wolverines ... it doesn't appear to be much. Nov. 25 in Ann Arbor will be epic.

Scott Bell:

Michigan -- without its head coach -- goes on the road and beats Penn State, a top-10 opponent, by multiple scores.

The Wolverines didn't attempt a single pass in the second half.

John U. Bacon:

Has to be said: Franklin just got outreached by an O Line coach who didn't call a single pass in the second half. When Penn State fans grumble that they can do better, they're right. Sez me.
