Michigan and Penn State are two storied programs, but they didn’t play each other until 1993, when the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten. Immediately, Michigan ripped off a couple of the biggest plays in series history, with a 48-yard punt return touchdown by Derrick Alexander and a 47-yard touchdown run by Tyrone Wheatley. Wheatley had Michigan’s longest play in series history in the second meeting.
- Tyrone Wheatley 67-yard TD run (1994)
- Donovan Edwards 67-yard TD run (2022)
- Brandon Watson 62-yard interception return TD (2018)
- Blake Corum 61-yard TD run (2022)
- Denard Robinson 60-yard TD pass to Kevin Koger (2010)
- Devin Gardner 59-yard TD pass to Devin Funchess (2013)
- Hassan Haskins 59-yard run (2020)
- Jourdan Lewis 55-yard kickoff return (2015)
- Walter Cross 53-yard kickoff return (1999)
- John Navarre 53-yard TD pass to Ronald Bellamy (2001)
- Jabrill Peppers 53-yard punt return (2016)

Throwback to last year when Donovan Edwards & Blake Corum had huge TD runs on back to back offensive plays against Penn State. The roar of the crowd on Blake’s run has me ready to be back in the Big House immediately. https://t.co/RteOlHiz0Q
