Michigan football got off to a slow start today against No. 1 Oregon, with two three-and-outs on offense wrapped around an opening-drive touchdown for the Ducks.

However, during the Wolverines' second punt, special teamer Joe Taylor popped Oregon returner Ryan Pellum with a big hit that jarred the ball loose and gave Michigan excellent field position. Six plays later, the Wolverines cashed in the turnover for a touchdown when quarterback Davis Warren found wide receiver Tyler Morris for six.

Check out the two plays below:
