Jim Harbaugh, who is responsible for a large chunk of those wins, was not on the sideline as he continues to serve his 3-game suspension. Still, Michigan players and staff soaked in the win on the field after the game.

The win gave Michigan it’s 11th of the season and now the Wolverines head into the game against Ohio State with confidence and momentum. If the Buckeyes win their matchup with Minnesota Saturday afternoon, the game next Saturday will be season-defining. Not only will it decide which team will play in the Big Ten Championship, it will also have plenty of College Football Playoff implications.
Now with their 1,000th win under their belt, Michigan is looking to win its first championship since 1997.
