After the Rimington award winner departed Michigan football went to the west coast to find his replacement. They also plucked LaDarius Henderson from the Pac 12 to eventually take over at left tackle, who was battling with 2024 potential starter, Myles Hinton to lock down the role.

Michigan football came out of the gates a little more pass-happy than usual and put the onus on J.J. McCarthy. Because of that they only had three games in which Blake Corum ran for over 100 yards on the season. Defenses clamped down on Michigan's tendencies, but they were still never challenged until November because of the weak schedule.

In that late season trip to State College, Michigan's offense literally ran it down Penn State's throat. A memorable performance of 32 consecutive run plays to break records in the win.

Zinter was lost for the rest of his career against Ohio State and a play later Blake Corum scored and made the sixty five hand signal after the play. Barnhart moved inside and Trente Jones filled in to carry the team onward to hoist the championship. The 21 and 22 lines were the country's best, but the 2023 version earned the sport's the ultimate prize.
