Michigan Football: It’s Big Ten Championship Week!
The king is…dead? The evil is…gone? Michigan football finally conquered their demons and vanquished their rival, Ohio State Buckeyes. Again, I will not be saying “THE”.
Michigan football got signature performances from Aidan Hutchinson, who has now set a program record with 13 sacks on the year (had three in the game against OSU), and Hassan Haskins, who rushed for 169 yards and FIVE TDs.
Let’s leave this here:

Oh yeah, and we can’t forget about here too:
Many people, including yours truly, said Kenneth Walker III was the Heisman front runner after he scored 5 TDs. Hassan Haskins @h2_2535 just scored 5TDs against the #2 team in the country.Hassan Haskins Heisman front runner.@umichfootball pic.twitter.com/Dqt4SiDNx0

Haskins is slowly closing in on over 1,300 rushing yards (he’s at 1,242 right now) for the season, and I still feel like he’s undervalued and underappreciated.
Anyways, I’ve screamed myself silly. I’ve cried, I’ve screamed some more, and cried some more. I’m done, for now.
Michigan football finally heads to Indy for Big Ten title game
First though, Michigan’s got one more game to take care of business before their CFP push: The Big Ten Championship Game.
To be completely honest, the OSU game was The Big Ten Championship game in all of our minds, but that’s okay, Michigan has a chance to take home some hardware if they win next Saturday.
That crystal football Big Ten Championship trophy will look really nice in Schembechler Hall if Michigan football can stay focused and beat Iowa this Saturday.
At this rate, I don’t foresee a scenario where Iowa beats Michigan. I really don’t. Obviously, the players have to stay focused on the task at hand and win again, but I just don’t see Michigan slipping up and having their potential playoff dreams shattered in a loss to a decent, but not great 10-2 Iowa squad.
Next. 3 overreactions from The Game. dark
More breakdowns and coverage will come later this week, but for now, onwards! Let’s go win the Big Ten (for the first time!!!!) and make that playoff!
