Pick-6 for Michigan!
It's over in Ann Arbor. Fresno State had a great drive going and was inside the 10 before Michigan's Will Johnson jumped a route and returned the ball 86 yards for a touchdown to seal it.
The Aggies FINALLY put together a full drive and Le'Veon Moss punches it in from the 1-yard line after a PI call in the end zone set them up. We're all tied up with 11:49 to play in College Station.
Michigan's player of the game today? Kicker Dominic Zvada.
He's made field goals from 55, 53 and 45 yards.
Michigan leads Fresno State 16-3 early in the 4th.

Back in action at College Station, Notre Dame goes for it on 4th down at its own 33 yard line (!) and converts. But a few plays later, the Irish FAIL to convert on another 4th down try at midfield.
After the play was upheld by review, Texas A&M takes over at the 50. Right call?
Michigan tacks on a field goal to extend its lead to 13-3 over Fresno State, but it's been a bit of a struggle offensively for the Wolverines and QB Davis Warren, who started today over Alex Orji.
Oddly enough, Orji has Michigan's only TD pass on his only attempt of the day. He's mostly been used as a RB otherwise.
The Irish had the ball inside Texas A&M's 10 but couldn't do anything with it and settled for a short field goal.

Mike Gundy asked about helmet communications, and if he can hear what's being said.
