Even though it squeaked out a win over Army, Michigan's chance to reach the playoff took a nosedive from 20% to 3% after yesterday, per the Allstate Playoff Predictor. FPI was severely unimpressed with the Wolverines' performance and downgraded them accordingly.

Jim Harbaugh: "That's how you fight. That's how you scratch and claw. Both teams did that." Adds that he could talk about Michigan's defense all day. The offense had mistakes that put the defense in tough spots.

Like Army did in the first half, Michigan makes the Black Knights pay for a head-scratching turnover. Lavert Hill's interception of Kelvin Hopkins Jr.'s second pass attempt sets up a 12-play, 78-yard touchdown drive. Michigan's offense remains a bit choppy but Shea Patterson and his receivers connected for several key plays, including a 25-yarder to Ronnie Bell on third-and-7 to set up the game-tying touchdown.

Big question going into second half is when/how much we see Michigan backup QB Dylan McCaffrey. Offensive coordinator Josh Gattis recently told me, "If we can get Dylan on the field, we're going to do it. I don't think it serves us to have someone who we feel is one of our best playmakers sitting on the bench all game, [just] because we have a talented player ahead of him."

Army has followed its upset script to near-perfection, leading Michigan 14-7 at halftime following two touchdowns after Wolverines fumbles. Michigan's defense has held up fairly well (3.5 ypp allowed), but quarterback Shea Patterson looks extremely shaky, and the Wolverines haven't found any consistent rhythm on offense. In a low-possession game, Michigan must find a way to be more efficient in the second half or risk a major setback.

It took a 25-yard pass from a linebacker to a safety, but Michigan is on the board and reclaims possession after an Army fumble. After shifting to his left, Michigan's Michael Barrett found freshman Daxton Hill on a fourth-and-10 fake punt, and Shea Patterson followed with another chunk pass play (24 yards to Nick Eubanks). Michigan's offense still looks a bit choppy -- Tarik Black dropped a likely touchdown -- but the game is tied up.

Army's plan to shorten the game and win the turnover battle is paying off, as the Black Knights capitalize on Shea Patterson's second consecutive opening-drive fumble to take a 7-0 lead. Michigan had done a decent job against the triple option, but Kell Walker's 31-yard burst set up the score.
