Michigan Wolverines Win the 2024 National Championship
What a game. While the Washington Huskies put up a good fight, this game become something of a blowout at the end, with the Wolverines being victorious, 34-13. That last quarter really showed the strength of this Michigan team, as they ruled that quarter. Congratulations to Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines on this 2024 National Championship win.
The 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship had No. 1 Michigan going up against No. 2 Washington at NRG Stadium in Houston on Monday (Jan. 8). With the Wolverines winning, it actually marks their first national title since back in 1997. For the Huskies, if they had won this game, it would have marked their first national title since 1991. So, both teams had a lot riding on this game. Michigan got to the National Championship thanks to a close 27-20 overtime win over No. 4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl semifinal. Washington got to this national title game following a 37-31 win over No. 3 Texas in the Sugar Bowl.
One of the big moments in the game came late, when Michigan really found a great pattern with their offense. They executed a 71-yard drive with a 12-yard touchdown from Blake Corum. It was really riveting to see. Of course, this wasn’t the only big play of the game. Michigan’s defense looked especially strong on Monday, as they held the Washington Huskies to a minimum.

I’m a Spartan, but I rooted for the Wolverines tonight. I’m truly happy for my Wolverine friends, including my best friend who went there. But, I hope the Spartans have a stronger season this fall. If you’re a Wolverine or a Spartan reading this, send up some well wishes for MSU’s new coach, Jonathan Smith. Read more about him below.
