You kids stay off my lawn!
Q: Can a team win a game by only scoring field goals, even if the other team scores a touchdown?

Real Life A:
The Maize and Blue weren’t done yet. Starting from the Michigan 27, Wally Gabler returned to the game and connected with Jack Clancy for receptions of 13, 9 and 18 to quickly advance the ball to the Ohio State 33. Just like that, however, Gabler went cold and his next three pass attempts for Clancy were all incomplete. The Wolverines’ kickoff specialist, Paul D’Eramo, was sent in to try a 50-yard field goal but the kick landed in the endzone, and all that was left was for Unverferth to take a knee for the Bucks to claim a 9-7 win over TBGUN.
Michigan had outgained Ohio State 335-251 and committed no turnovers to OSU’s three, but Bob Funk, for the third time in that 1965 season, had kicked his team to victory.
