All of the credit went to Michigan’s players.

Immediately after the clock hit zeroes, Michigan began celebrating its first B1G title in nearly two decades. The Wolverines proved a point in a 42-3 victory over Iowa on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium. Michigan improved to 12-1 on the season, owns a conference championship and is headed to the College Football Playoff.

Following the win, head coach Jim Harbaugh was quick to put result on the work his players have put in. He had plenty of praise for everyone wearing the maize and blue on Saturday night.

“I couldn’t be more proud of these guys,” Harbaugh said. “We wouldn’t be here without them.”

Michigan closed out the 2021 season with impressive performances against Ohio State and Iowa. There’s no doubt that the Wolverines are the best team in the B1G and one of the Top 4 in the country.

After overcoming so many hurdles this season, Saturday night was an accomplishment worth celebrating for Harbaugh and his team. There was no lack of that when the score went final.
