It has been a long time coming for the Michigan Wolverines. They haven’t been college football’s national champions since the days of Charles Woodson and Lloyd Carr. The two helped bring a national title to Ann Arbor in 1997. Now, Jim Harbaugh and Blake Corum can proclaim the same.
Some will view this victory as tainted due to the sign-stealing scandal, but one thing remains the same, Michigan was the best team on the field on this day. After building a 17-10 halftime, as they did against Alabama, the Wolverines were able to dominate the second half. It began with an interception on the first play of the second half.
The big star in the first half of the game was Donovan Edwards, who rushed for two touchdowns. Both of them came from 40+ yards out. In the fourth quarter, star running back Blake Corum was the closer. He scored two touchdowns to put the game out of reach for the Huskies. As the clock reached 0:00, Michigan was staring at a 34-13 win and the realization that they were national champions.
