Michigan football bounced-back in a big way with a 17-10 upset Saturday against Oklahoma at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.
Bryce Underwood raced down the left sideline for a 38-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and Jyaire Hill 's interception deep in Oklahoma territory set up the tiebreaking 1-yard touchdown from Jordan Marshall with 7:53 to play in the fourth quarter.

Underwood rushed 18 times for 87 yards and was 9-for-17 passing for 111 yards and no turnovers. JJ Buchanan , the Hail Mary hero a week ago, had two catches for 48 yards to lead Michigan. Andrew Marsh was limited to 13 yards on three receptions.
The No. 10 Sooners tied the game in the fourth quarter after trailing 10-0 to the No. 24 Wolverines at halftime.
The teams combined for 20 accepted penalties (Michigan had 11 for 90 yards) in an ugly game that eventually went the Wolverines' way.
Sooners senior John Mateer was just 17-for-33 passing for 189 yards with a touchdown and a pick, a year after he diced up Michigan (21-for-34, 270 yards, 19 carries for 74 yards) in a 24-13 win in Norman, Oklahoma.

He missed high on a fourth-and-7 throw from the Michigan 47-yard line with 2:12 to play.
Nate Marshall sacked Mateer at the Sooners' 25-yard line on the final play of the game.
Rocky Beers led the Sooners with six catches for 94 yards.
Michigan hosts UTEP next Saturday. The Miners lost 51-0 to the Sooners in Week 1, and hosted Texas Southern late Saturday (9 p.m. ET).
