ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Penn State might be back, but it still can't beat Michigan. Chad Henne threw his second touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with no time left to lift the Wolverines to a thrilling 27-25 victory over the Nittany Lions, whose first loss this season was their seventh straight in the series.<br>
<br>
The Wolverines (4-3, 2-2 Big Ten) avoided their worst record in mid-October since 1967 and knocked Penn State (6-1, 3-1) out of sole possession of first place in the conference.<br>
<br>
Michael Robinson scored his second touchdown with 53 seconds left to give the Nittany Lions a 25-21 lead, but Steve Breaston returned the ensuing kickoff to midfield to set up the game-winning score.<br>
<br>
A second was left on the clock when Henne took the last snap and connected with Manningham in the middle of the end zone. <br>
<br>
The crowd of 111,249 went wild and it seemed like Michigan's entire team piled on Manningham at Penn State's 25.<br>
