The University of Michigan’s dramatic Week 1 victory over Ohio State ended a 12‑game losing streak and lifted the Wolverines into the top spot in the national rankings. After a last‑second Hail Mary that capped a short drive, Michigan entered the AP and Coaches Polls as the country’s top‑seeded team. The win was the first in the program’s history against Ohio State in a game decided by a Hail Mary, and it immediately positioned Michigan as a major contender for the College Football Playoff.
The victory showed Michigan’s defense was able to create turnovers and its offense could finish games with spectacular plays. The win has reignited expectations that Michigan will contend for the national title. As the season continues, opponents will need to prepare for a defense that can force turnovers and an offense that can finish games with dramatic plays.
