Michigan was held to two first downs and 85 yards of total offense (67 rushing yards and 18 passing). Despite the lack of offensive production, Michigan won the game, 3–0, on a field goal at the end of the second quarter. The score was set up when Minnesota fullback Jack Manders fumbled the ball near the end of the first half. Chuck Bernard and Ted Petoskey recovered the ball at Minnesota's 23-yard line. With 36 seconds remaining in the first half, Michigan had the ball, fourth-and-goal at Minnesota's four-yard line. Harry Newman kicked the field goal, narrowly missing the upright to give Michigan the only three points scored by either team. Neither team was able to move the ball inside the other's 30-yard line in the second half. Minnesota came closest to scoring in the third quarter when All-American Pug Lund broke into the open field, but slipped and fell trying to evade Harry Newman who was the last person with a chance to stop Lund.Michigan Triumphs on Newman's Goal: Place Kick in Last Minute of First Half Beats Minnesota, 3-0, Before 30,000; WOLVERINES CLINCH TITLE; Undefeated and Untied Eleven Takes Undisputed Possession of Big Ten Crown The New York Times November 20, 1932 https://www.nytimes.com/1932/11/20/archives/michigan-triumphs-on-newmans-goal-place-kick-in-last-minute-of.html?sq=michigan&scp=1&st=p1933 Michiganensian, Minnesota game summary, p. 119.
