L'il Ben put on a big football kicked the point. McRae took a 15-yard pass from Dave Glinka to make the score 13-0 at 4:19 of the second quarter. Then the elusive 170-pound halfback, who reminds you so much of Jim Pace, picked off an interception and raced 34 yards for Michigan's third touchdown at the 4:59 mark.
