Michigan Wins The 2023 College Football National Title For The First Time Since 1997

Washington couldn’t stop the run and Michael Penix Jr. just couldn’t get going. From the start Michigan ran the ball and Donovan Edwards scored to put the Wolverines up early in the first quarter.

Michigan never looked back. The pass rush was too much for Michael Penix Jr. who overthrew and under threw receivers the entire game. Jim Harbaugh silenced all the doubters and those who questioned his program by proving them wrong. We will see if Coach Harbaugh returns or will he take the challenge and return to the NFL.

Congrats to Michigan Football.
