Call it a comeback: Michigan beats Wisconsin 27-25By LARRY LAGE
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Rich Rodriguez earned the right to be hailed at Michigan for the first time.
Rodriguez, in his fourth game as coach, directed the Wolverines' biggest comeback in Big House history, helping them rally from a 19-point deficit to beat No. 9 Wisconsin 27-25 Saturday.
The first significant victory of his debut season in Ann Arbor wasn't sealed until Allen Evridge misfired on a 2-point conversion with 13 seconds left.
"Never had a doubt," Rodriguez joked.
It didn't seem like the Wolverines were going to have a chance to celebrate their 500th game at Michigan Stadium when they had five turnovers, trailed 19-0 and were booed off the field at halftime.
"If you were anywhere in the Ann Arbor vicinity, you heard that," Rodriguez said.
Nearly 110,000 fans changed their tune when the Wolverines sang "The Victors" in front of -- and in the stands -- with their fans.
"They weren't booing at the end," Rodriguez said.
