It was a tale of two halves for Michigan on Saturday. The Wolverines came away with a 27-24 win over USC to move them to 3-1, but it took late-game heroics to do so. Michigan started off dominant in the first half and couldn't do any wrong. But the second half was a different story.

Michigan allowed USC to take a 24-20 lead following a couple of Wolverines' turnovers. Kenneth Grant fumbled the football following a turnover from USC and then Donovan Edwards fumbled late in the fourth quarter which allowed USC to take the lead.

It took Kalel Mullings to burst through the hole for a 63-yard run. He managed to take it one yard into the endzone on fourth down to give the Wolverines the lead. Michigan stopped the Trojans when they had a brief chance to get into field goal range.

After the game, social media went wild. Here were the best reactions.
