Michigan Wolverines are the 2021 Big Ten Football Champions. There first Big Ten Championship Game Victory.

Rushing: Haskins (MICH) 17 carries, 56 yards, 2 TDs
Receiving: Wilson (MICH) 2 receptions, 82 yards, TD

Final Thoughts:
Wolverines dominated the 2021 Big Ten Football Championship Game. Maize and Blue made plays on all three sides of the game.

For the Hawkeyes, they couldn't get anything on offense. They only scored 3 points on 3 red zone visits. 

With the win, Michigan will be in the College Football Playoff, with Alabama, Georgia, and Cincinnati. Ohio State will play in the Rose Bowl Game on New Year's Day, to face Utah. Iowa will have to wait for tomorrow, to find out which bowl game they are playing.
