INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — For the second season in a row the Michigan Wolverines are the Big Ten champions.
Last season, the Wolverines beat Iowa in Indianapolis, and this season the maize and blue took care of the Purdue Boilermakers. Michigan defeated the Boilermakers, 43-22, on Saturday night to improve to 13-0.
There was some mayhem during the conference championship week. No. 3 TCU lost in overtime to Kansas State on Saturday, and No. 4 USC lost to Utah on Friday. But Michigan did not fall into the same trap; the Wolverines rolled over Purdue.
It didn’t always look good or clean, but Michigan captured another Big Ten crown. The Wolverines struggled with Purdue in the first half, going into halftime up by one, 14-13. But the maize and blue came out playing better in the second half and produced two quick touchdowns in the third quarter. The Wolverines struggled with the Purdue passing game and containing Charlie Jones, but the night belonged to Michigan.
Here are our five takeaways.
