The Michigan Wolverines took down the Washington Huskies 34–13 to win their first national championship in 26 years on Monday night.
Right out of the gate, it looked as though the Wolverines might ride their rushing attack to a dominant win. On Michigan’s very first possession, running back Donovan Edwards broke free for a 41-yard score, and followed that up with a 46-yard breakaway on the next drive, helping the Wolverines jump out to a 14–3 lead in the first quarter.
Michigan finished the first quarter with a stunning 174 yards on the ground.
