INDIANAPOLIS — It was some tough sledding for the No. 13 Iowa Hawkeyes, with Michigan football winning the Big Ten Championship thanks to an utterly dominant performance.

The Hawkeye offense could get nothing going, and while the defense occasionally stymied the Wolverines, a couple early big plays opened things up before Michigan football pulled away in the second half, to win, 42-3.

After the game, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz minced no words. It wasn’t about his team as much as it was about the maize and blue — particularly the defensive side of the ball — that kept the Hawkeyes at bay. It’s the worst loss that Iowa has had since losing to Penn State in 2016.

Here are the pertinent things that Ferentz said about Michigan football.
