HOUSTON (AP) — Michigan looked as if it would run away from Washington early in the College Football Playoff championship game Monday night.
But the Wolverines mostly plodded along until they put together a 71-yard drive that put them up two touchdowns midway through the fourth quarter of a 34-13 victory.
Blake Corum, Donovan Edwards and the linemen in front of them looked poise to make fast work of the Huskies. The pair led a ground game that generated 174 yards in the first quarter.
Edwards' first two carries went for touchdowns of 41 and 46 yards and Corum broke a 59-yard run to end the quarter to set up a field goal that put the Wolverines up 17-3.
