The Michigan Wolverines are officially back-to-back-to-back Big Ten champions after beating Iowa by a final score of 26-0. All season, the Wolverines have preached “being where their feet are,” so for an Iowa team hoping to be overlooked, this was bad news.
In head coach Jim Harbaugh’s first game back, Michigan’s offense made a concerted effort to play patiently, protect the football, and possess it for as long as possible. The Wolverines struggled to string together anything sustainable, but did just enough to overwhelm this overmatched Iowa defense.
Defensively, Michigan smothered this inept Iowa offense.
