Final Score: Nebraska 32, (20) Michigan 28

San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - Zac Taylor hit Terrence Nunn for a 13-yard touchdown reception with 4:29 left in the game, as Nebraska rallied from a double-digit deficit to post a thrilling 32-28 win over 20th-ranked Michigan in the Alamo Bowl.

Taylor ended 14-of-31 for 167 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions for the Cornhuskers (8-4), who overcame an 11-point fourth- quarter deficit to finish the season by winning their last three games.

Cory Ross rushed for 161 yards and a score on 28 carries while Nunn caught four passes, including the eventual game-winner, for 91 yards with two scores.

Chad Henne finished 21-of-43 for 270 yards with three TDs and an interception for the Wolverines (7-5), who closed out the season with two straight losses. Henne also ran for a score while Jason Avant had eight receptions for 71 yards in the loss.

Leading by four, Michigan increased the margin to 28-17 as Henne scored on a seven-yard run with 11:40 left in the game. Henne ran for 19 yards on the series and also connected with Avant for a 26-yard gain.

After each team kicked once, Nebraska quickly trimmed its deficit courtesy of a big punt return. The Cornhuskers began at their opponent's 28-yard line, and two plays later, Ross' 31-yard scamper following an offensive penalty capped the drive. Nebraska then converted the two-point conversion to pull within 28-25 with 8:08 to go.

Henne was then sacked and fumbled the ball on the ensuing possession, and the 'Huskers recovered at Michigan's 17-yard line. Three plays later, Taylor hit Nunn wide open in the end zone to put Big Red in front 32-28 with 4:29 remaining in the exciting game.

Michigan, though, would quickly move downfield.

The Wolverines drove to the 20-yard line with ease, but then struggled from there. Faced with a 3rd-and-8, Mario Manningham dropped a would-be first down, and then on 4th-and-long, Henne's pass for Manningham was knocked down, although it appeared the receiver was interfered with on the play.

After forcing a punt, Michigan got the ball back with seven seconds left and appeared dead in the water. However, after a short completion and a series of laterals, the Wolverines were able to progress down the field on the game's final play, but came up just short as Tyler Ecker was eventually tackled inside the 15-yard line. During the sequence, several players and coaches from both teams had run onto the field thinking the game had ended, but no penalties were called and Michigan came up just short in its dramatic comeback attempt.

Nebraska took a 7-0 lead with just over eight minutes left in the first quarter, as Taylor hit Nunn for a 52-yard touchdown reception. Nunn caught a slant pass over the middle of the field, shook free from a defender, and took off to the end zone.

The Wolverines quickly answered as Steve Breaston returned the ensuing kick 70 yards to set Michigan up deep in 'Huskers territory. The Wolverines took advantage of the short field and capped the drive with a TD when Henne found Ecker for a 13-yard score to tie the game with 5:48 remaining.

Following Leon Hall's interception, Michigan was in prime position to score, but could not capitalize as Garrett Rivas missed a 25-yard field goal. However, on Nebraska's next play, Hall again picked off Taylor. This time, though, Michigan converted and took a 14-7 lead as Henne found Mike Massey for a 16-yard score with 11:43 to go in the first half.

Nebraska tied the game up with 2:37 to go before halftime as Taylor orchestrated a seven-play, 70-yard drive that was capped on a 14-yard touchdown pass to Nate Swift.

The Cornhuskers seized a 17-14 lead on Jordan Congdon's 20-yard field goal with 8:54 left in the third quarter, but Michigan quickly countered by marching 58 yards in six plays. Henne culminated the scoring series with his third TD pass of the night, this one to Manningham from 21 yards out, to give the Wolverines a 21-17 edge.
