Michigan vs. Iowa Football highlights in Big Ten Championship
The last time the Wolverines and Hawkeyes went head to head with the bigTen title on the line, the Wolverines beat the Hawkeyes 42-3. The edge of triumph is unessential for Jim Harbaugh and Co.: Win versus the Hawkeyes (10-2 7-2)
The Wolverines are as of now falling off their hardest trial of the time, outliving Ryan Day and Ohio State (11-1, 8-1) without Harbaugh uninvolved. The protection grabbed two captures, including one to seal the game, in a 30-24 triumph over the Buckeyes. In any case, J.J. McCarthy, Blake Corum and Co. should take on a similarly defense on Saturday.
However, Iowa truly didn’t help itself Saturday night. Michigan turned a 87-yard dropkick return and a bungle recuperation into scores, one more mishandle recuperation into a field objective and kicked two more field objectives subsequent to halting Iowa’s offense on fourth down. The Wolverines had only one drive go north of 13 plays and got done with 212 all out yards of offense.
The Michigan Wolverines are 13-0 and winners of their third-straight Big Ten Championship after a 26-0 blanking of the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday night in Indianapolis. This denotes the third consecutive title Michigan has won.
