“It's not about me, I've had plenty of success. But you know that your players can feel what it's like to be a champion, their families can know what it's like to be a champion, for my wife and my kids to have their dad be a champion, for my parents to have their son be a champion, that's the great thrill. It's a beautiful, wonderful thing.”
The Wolverines dedicated the win to captain Zak Zinter, who suffered a broken leg against Ohio State. Now, Michigan eagerly awaits its College Football Playoff (CFP) placement and opponent, with hopes of overcoming past postseason challenges.
The return of Jim Harbaugh has not only revitalized the team but also positioned them as contenders for CFP glory.
