THEY DID IT! Michigan runs over Washington 34-13, wins 2023 national championship

Celebrate the Wolverines’ College Football Playoff championship — the last title of the four-team era — by ordering Blue Reign! right now at www.triumphbooks.com/MichiganWin for $16.95 (plus shipping and handling).

As the Wolverines vanquished team after team by three, four, five or more touchdowns, Michigan captured its 1,000th victory in 144 years of playing football. No college, professional or high school team had reached that milestone. That was but one highlight in a season filled with memorable plays and players, from J.J. McCarthy, Blake Corum and Roman Wilson on offense to Mike Sainristil, Junior Colson and Mason Graham on defense.

Michigan’s season also was filled with off-the-field drama. In a show of unity, the Wolverines adopted Michigan vs. Everyone as a mantra. They were unbeatable even when their coach was suspended twice, even when they trailed mighty Alabama in the closing minutes of the national semifinals and even when they faced the offensive firepower of Washington in the championship game.

The perfect souvenir for any Michigan fan who wants to relish this remarkable journey, Blue Reign! also relives the historic shutout in East Lansing, an assistant coach’s teary-eyed, yet lovingly profane, on-the-field interview at Happy Valley, a third straight victory over the Buckeyes, a three-peat as Big Ten champions and the glory from a third straight trip to the College Football Playoff. And plenty more!
