Kirk Herbstreit shouts out Michigan after taking down Ohio Stat

It’s been a decade, but Michigan did it, taking down arch nemesis Ohio State. The  Wolverines did it with a dominant physical presence on both sides of the ball.

ESPN analyst and former Ohio State QB Kirk Herbstreit complimented how the Wolverines played against his former school.

Congrats @UMichFootball on a game well played in every phase-Well prepared-Dominated the line of scrimmage-Defense contained the Ohio St explosive offense. Played like they wanted more-with an edge. 4 Qtrs from a @B1Gfootball Title & a place in the @CFBPlayoff Congratulations!

Michigan’s RB Hassan Haskins had 5 touchdowns on the day while carrying the ball 28 times and 168 yards on the ground. DE Aidan Hutchinson had 3 sacks which got him to 13 sacks on the season, now Michigan’s single-season sack record.

Michigan played more physically than Ohio State did on both sides of the line of the scrimmage and was one of the biggest differences in the game.

Michigan is the East division champion for the first time ever since the inception of the B1G Championship Game. They will be headed to Indianapolis to face the West division winner, No. 16 Iowa.

Michigan is just 1 win away from all but locking up a spot in the College Football Playoff.
