Desmond Howard caught two touchdown passes from Elvis Grbac as the Wolverines opened up a 17–0 halftime lead. Grbac threw an 8-yard TD pass to Derrick Walker and Ricky Powers and Jon Vaughn ran for touchdowns as Michigan routed Wisconsin 41–3 at Camp Randall Stadium. The Badgers kicked a 33-yard field goal with over 4 minutes left to avoid the shutout. The Wolverines rolled up 534 yards of total offense, while holding Wisconsin to 189 yards.

Michigan State

Michigan came into the game ranked #1 in the country. With six seconds left, Elvis Grbac threw a touchdown pass to Derrick Alexander to make it 28–27 Michigan State. Michigan coach Gary Moeller elected to go for a two-point conversion for the win. Grbac threw an incomplete pass to Desmond Howard, but the play was controversial since a Spartan defender appeared to have interfered with Howard. A columnist in The Detroit News wrote: "Michigan State cornerback Eddie Brown had tripped him. No discussion. No debate. It was a clear and obvious foul that a million and one eyes in the stands and on national television could see, but somehow not one single referee in this joint managed to catch a glimpse of." The Wolverines then attempted an onside kick, which they recovered. Grbac scrambled and threw a Hail Mary that was tipped and intercepted to end the game.

J.D. Carlson kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired to give Michigan a 16–13 win. In the third quarter, things weren't going all that well for the Wolverines. Greg Frey completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Graham and Ohio State took a seven-point lead. Momentum changed quickly when Derrick Alexander took the ensuing kickoff back inside the Ohio State 40 yard line. Then Elvis Grbac found Desmond Howard on a 12-yard post pattern to tie the score, and it remained tied well into the fourth quarter. Late in the fourth quarter, Ohio State went for it on fourth and less than a yard to go from the Ohio State 30. On fourth down, the Wolverines stuffed Frey at the 29, and took possession there. Michigan moved the ball carefully, methodically, and with time for one final play, a field goal attempt.

Gator Bowl

After both teams exchanged early turnovers, Michigan opened the scoring when Elvis Grbac threw deep down the right side of the field to Desmond Howard, for a career-long 63-yard touchdown reception. J.D. Carlson's extra point gave Michigan a 7–0 lead with 1:04 left in the first quarter. Mississippi scored its only points of the game in the second quarter when Brian Lee kicked a career-long and Gator Bowl record 51-yard field goal to trim the margin to 7–3. Following a 32-yard Howard return of the ensuing kickoff, Jon Vaughn sprinted around left end for a gain of 37 yards and a first down at the Rebel 31. Five plays later, Grbac threw seven yards to Jarrod Bunch for a 14–3 halftime lead. Grbac's touchdown pass, his 19th of the season, broke Jim Harbaugh's Michigan single-season record for touchdown passes thrown (18 in 1985). Early in the third quarter, Grbac threw a screen pass to Howard who eluded the Mississippi defense en route to a 50-yard touchdown reception and a 21–3 Michigan lead with 10:53 left in the third quarter. Later in the quarter, Ole Miss quarterback Tom Luke was intercepted by Todd Plate at the Michigan 37. After a three-yard Ricky Powers run and an 11-yard Grbac-to-Howard completion, the Wolverines had a first down on the Ole Miss 49 yard line. On the next play, Powers blasted up the middle for a gain of 44 yards and a first down at the Rebel five. Bunch pounded into the end zone on the next play, giving Michigan a comfortable 28–3 lead. As the third stanza was nearing completion, Grbac connected with Derrick Alexander over the middle for a 33-yard touchdown—Grbac's fourth of the game, and a Michigan single bowl record. That closed the scoring, giving Michigan a resounding 35–3 win. Offensive linemen Dean Dingman, Tom Dohring, Greg Skrepenak, Matt Elliott and Steve Everitt were named the game's Most Valuable Players for leading the offense to a Michigan single-game record 715 total yards.
