The 2023 college football season’s 14th week began on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where No. 2 Michigan defeated No. 17 Iowa, 26-0, in the Big Ten Football Championship Game.
Despite Iowa’s pass rush getting to J.J. McCarthy for 147 yards, it didn’t matter because Blake Corum ran for two touchdowns and the Wolverines’ defence was excellent, forcing three turnovers in the victory.
Michigan won the Big Ten title for the third time in a row with the victory. With a perfect 13-0 record at the end of the season, the Wolverines virtually certainly guaranteed a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Jim Harbaugh was the target of the Michigan players’ traditional Gatorade bath when the clock struck zero in Indianapolis. However, the coachescaped with success, skipping the Gatorade shower.
Corum, meanwhile, conveyed to Jenny Taft the significance of Saturday’s victory, noting that it came one year after he underwent knee surgery that kept him out of the College Football Playoffs.
