Tommy Carr replaces benched Bryce Underwood, leads Michigan to 21-18 win over Penn State

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- , Tommy Carr jogged onto the same field where his grandfathers led a national championship team and set the school record for career interceptions, and the crowd roared. And, he made the most of the opportunity. Carr converted a third down on a 12-yard touchdown run with 2:58 left to play, giving Michigan a two-score lead it needed in a 21-18 win over Penn State on Saturday. “To score that touchdown to seal the game was huge,” he said. The Wolverines (4-2, 1-2 Big Ten) needed the win to avoid losing their first three conference games in a season for the first time since 1967. It might not have happened if first-year coach Kyle Whittingham didn't agree to bench Bryce Underwood at halftime and to give Carr a chance to turn around a lackluster offense and perhaps fire up a listless team.
