Michigan fends off Purdue to win 2nd straight Big Ten title; College Football Playoff on deck

INDIANAPOLIS — Only one goal remains on Michigan’s checklist.

The Wolverines set out this season with a list of four items they hoped to accomplish. During the regular season, they checked off two of them with wins over rivals Michigan State and Ohio State, and on Saturday, they crossed off a third.

Michigan remains unbeaten at 13-0 after winning its second straight Big Ten championship — goal No. 3 — this time defeating Purdue, 43-22, before 67,107 at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Boilermakers under Jeff Brohm, entered the game 3-1 against top-five teams, kept things close in the first half, but in the end settled for five field goals as they fall to 8-5.
