00:00 It wasn't pretty but 34 to 13 Michigan national champions for
00:04 the first time since 1997.
00:06 The Wolverines came out the gates absolutely firing with a run game.
00:10 That was everything we thought it was gonna be dominating Washington in
00:13 the first quarter and in the second and third quarter, things sputtered.
00:16 There were ample opportunities for Washington to get back in this game, but
00:20 they were not able to take advantage of them.
00:21 Plenty of miscues, dropped passes, Dylan Johnson, the running back,
00:25 came into this game, got hurt on the first play of the game.
00:27 He said probably shouldn't have played but tried to battle it out.
00:30 Michael Penix as well sustained some injuries,
00:32 got hurt in the ribs late in the game as well.
00:35 Washington battled it out, but
00:36 they just were not able to overcome a Michigan defense that was good enough and
00:40 salty enough to hold them down to one of their lowest point totals all season.
00:45 And in the end, the Wolverines prevail, Jim Harbaugh and
00:48 the Michigan Wolverines national champions.
