Kirk Herbstreit is impressed with what he saw out of Columbus Saturday.
ESPN’s college football analyst and former Ohio State quarterback congratulated No. 3 Michigan on the huge 45-23 win over No. 2 Ohio State in Ohio Stadium. Herbstreit went on to compliment Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh and his ability to get his players to focus on The Game with a chance to go to the B1G title game next Saturday.
Congratulations to @UMichFootball on a great win today.
Jim Harbaugh, his staff, and obviously his players were locked in and on a mission to win today in Columbus-and they did it.
On to Indy and more than likely a @PlayoffFootball appearance again-Impressive!
Congrats!— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) November 26, 2022
