The wire-to-wire win was kicked off by two massive touchdown runs by Wolverines running back Donovan Edwards. He finished with 103 yards and two touchdowns.
“I feel like this has been the perfect happy ending,” said Edwards. “A lot of personal success, a lot of personal failures, but our ultimate goal was to win a national championship. … There’s no other feeling than to go through what we have and still come out on top. So perfect story, a lot of adversity — coach Harbaugh’s not there for six games — perfect story.”

The Wolverines were surrounded by a sign-stealing scheme throughout the year, which appears to be an afterthought now that Harbaugh has dominantly secured a national title. Harbaugh maintained the program’s innocence but spoke more about what the championship means for him.
“For me personally, I can now sit at the big person’s table in the family,” said Harbaugh. “They won’t keep me over there on the little table anymore. My dad, Jack Harbaugh, won a national championship and my brother won a Super Bowl. It’s good to be at the big person’s table from now on.”
