Michigan captured its 10th national title at NRG Stadium in Houston on Monday, as its defenders constantly hit Michael Penix Jr., leading to frequent mistakes by the Washington quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist. The Wolverines logged two interceptions from a typically precise Penix in the 34-13 victory and a 15-0 season.
