The Michigan Wolverines took home the 2023-2024 season National Championship, knocking down the Washington Huskies with a score of 34-13. Michigan boasted a strong lock down defense, picking apart Michael Penix Jr. and the Huskies' offensive line with two interceptions, a sack, and 59 total tackles. In total, the Wolverine defensive line held Washington to fewer total yards (301) than their own rushing offense (303). Penix had a very competitive season, averaging 66.7% passes completed and 337 yards per game. During the national final, however, he only completed 53% percent of passes for 255 yards.
Michigan Quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw for 140 yards and clocked his longest carry of the season at 22 Yards. Defensive back Will Johnson earned Defensive MVP with a third-quarter interception and four TOT's. Blake Corum received Offensive MVP after 134 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns; these two touchdowns pushed Corum to 58 touchdowns in his career, setting a new school record. Head Coach Jim Harbaugh won his first national championship with the Wolverine after 9 seasons.
