UNIVERSITY PARK -- They made it a game, after many of the fans had abandoned their posts and wandered out into the cold night. After Michigan, with its stubborn offense and relentless defense had threatened to blow the doors open all evening.
  But all the Nittany Lions could do, in the end, was count up their chances. They had made it a game on one of the rowdier nights in Beaver Stadium history, but this game, like too many others in this series, belonged to Michigan.
  The No. 4 Wolverines (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) knocked Penn State's top two quarterbacks out of the game and had its way with the rest of the Nittany Lions' offense Saturday in a physical 17-10 triumph before an announced 110,007, the second-largest crowd in Beaver Stadium history.
  "We made one or two mistakes," coach Joe Paterno said quietly after the game. "They didn't make any."
  Michigan wasn't flashy, simply effective. Lloyd Carr's team built leads of 10-0 and 17-3, then held off a late -- and largely unexpected -- Nittany Lion rally.
  Third-string quarterback Paul Cianciolo tossed a screen pass to tailback Tony Hunt, who broke a couple of tackles and hot-footed it to the end zone from 43 yards out, cutting Michigan's lead to 17-10 with 3:18 to play. The Penn State defense, despite a tough, clock-eating, 23-yard run from tailback Mike Hart, got its offense the ball back with 1:44 to play.
  But Cianciolo, in relief of the injured Anthony Morelli and Daryll Clark, hadn't thrown a career pass at Penn State until Saturday. Limping after yet another hit from the Michigan defense, the redshirt sophomore misfired on three of his final four pass attempts, the last over the head of Jordan Norwood. Michigan put a knee down twice and went home with its eighth straight defeat of the Nittany Lions (4-3, 2-2).
  Michigan had its defense to thank. The nation's best unit against the run coming in, allowing just 40.3 yards per game, the Wolverines held Penn State to an eye-popping minus-14 net yards on 25 attempts, a number greatly skewed by Michigan's seven quarterback sacks.
  The Nittany Lions, who had allowed just six quarterback sacks in their first six games, had no answer for Michigan defensive ends LaMarr Woodley and Rondell Biggs, who recorded two sacks apiece, or for mammoth defensive tackle Alan Branch, who was sackless but broke up the pocket all evening and delivered the hit that sent Morelli to the sidelines with a concussion midway through the third quarter.
  Penn State's offensive line, despite the return of starters Levi Brown and Robert Price, couldn't do much against the best defensive line it has faced in quite some time.
  "We knew it would be tough going in," Paterno said. "We thought we'd do a little better than that."
  When given time, Morelli did fine, completing 11 of 18 passes for 133 yards. His receivers didn't help him out, dropping several well-thrown passes.
  But there was often no place to go for the quarterback, and no daylight for Hunt, who had been averaging 111.5 yards per game but was held to 33 on 13 carries. The senior had 85 yards on five receptions but the Penn State offense could not establish any rhythm.
