For the first time in 30 years, Michigan has captured back-to-back Big Ten titles.
Following last week’s triumph over Ohio State, all that stood between Michigan and another berth in the College Football Playoff was a meeting with unranked Purdue in the Big Ten championship game.
To get to 13-0, Michigan needed another big performance from running back Donovan Edwards. Edwards, now in the lead back role in place of the injured Blake Corum, followed up his 216-yard effort from last week with 185 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries vs. the Boilermakers. Purdue went three-and-out on the next possession, allowing Edwards to go back to work. This time, following a 47-yard J.J. McCarthy completion to tight end Luke Schoonmaker, Edwards exploded through the line for a 27-yard touchdown.It would prove to be too much for Purdue to overcome, but the Boilermakers fought to the end.
