2021 LOMBARDI AWARD WINNER: Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson of the No. 2-ranked University of Michigan football team was named the recipient of the 2021 Rotary Lombardi Trophy on Wednesday (Dec. 8). The honor is bestowed upon the best lineman (offensive or defensive) in college football by the Rotary Club of Houston. Hutchinson, a senior from Plymouth, Mich., was U-M's ninth finalist for the honor since it was first awarded in 1979. He also joins LaMarr Woodley (2006) as the winning Wolverines in the history of the award.

Hutchinson is a two-time defensive captain and the tone-setter for the Michigan defense, which lists top-15 in four major categories, including scoring defense (fourth). He has been named the Woodson-Nagurski Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year as well as the Smith-Brown Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the year during his stellar 2021 season. Hutchinson has totaled 58 stops (33 solo). He set a new program sack record with 14.0 and counting through 13 games, a figure that ranks third nationally. - Michigan Football

Hassan Haskins ran for two second-half touchdowns and broke a school record while running back Donavan Edwards threw a 75-yard TD pass to help No. 2 Michigan capture its first Big Ten title in 17 years and a probable playoff berth with a 42-3 rout Saturday over No. 15 Iowa. Resurgent Michigan (12-1, No. 2 CFP) has won five straight and if it reaches the playoff, as expected, would need one more win to return to Indianapolis to play for its first national championship since 1997.

It's been an improbable run since coach Jim Harbaugh took a pay cut following a dismal 2020. The Wolverines started this season unranked and picked to finish in the middle of the Big Ten East, whose champion has won the last nine conference crowns. And it came on an emotional night when Michigan paid tribute to the victims from Tuesday's school shooting, which resulted in the deaths of four students at Oxford (Michigan) High School. They handed the Hawkeyes (10-3, No. 13) their second straight title game loss and prevented coach Kirk Ferentz from capturing his first conference crown since 2004. Iowa lost to Michigan State in the 2015 title game and this one came on a night both quarterbacks, Spencer Petras and Alex Padilla, struggled against the Wolverines. - Michigan/AP College Football

2021 BIG TEN NAGURSKI-WOODSON DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan,...Twice voted a team captain, Hutchinson is third among all U-M defenders and first among defensive linemen with 54 tackles this season (32 solo). He has generated a team-leading 14.5 tackles for loss and a program-record 13 sacks (No. 3, NCAA), along with 10 quarterback hurries, three pass breakups, a pair of forced fumbles and one fumble recovered. Hutchinson is graded as the No. 1 defensive player in the country by Pro Football Focus College (93.8). Hutchinson and Ojabo are the first pair in U-M history to both reach double-digit sack totals (10-plus) in the same season.

2021 BIG TEN BAKKEN-ANDERSEN KICKER OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Jake Moody, Michigan,...Moody was a first-team pick from the coaches and a third-team selection by the media. He has 22 made field goals this season (of a possible 24), three shy of the single-season record set by Remy Hamilton in 1994. Moody has converted on all 18 of his kicks this season inside 40 yards, and has scored 116 points total (No. 10, NCAA). Moody is four points shy of tying the second-highest single-season scoring total in Michigan history. He has also been a weapon on kickoffs with 58 touchbacks on 88 attempts, leading to the country's No. 1 kickoff return defense unit (12.08 yards, average). Moody is the first Wolverine kicker to be named the Bakken-Andersen Kicker of the Year. He also is one of three finalists for the Lou Groza Award, given to college football's top kicker. - Michigan Football

Michigan moved up to No. 2 Tuesday night in the second-to-last College Football Playoff rankings, joining Georgia, Alabama and Cincinnati in the top four heading into conference championship weekend. Oklahoma State is fifth going into the Big 12 championship game Saturday against No. 9 Baylor, and Notre Dame is sixth with no games left and no head coach. Brian Kelly left the Fighting Irish and was introduced as the new coach at LSU on Tuesday, three days after independent Notre Dame finished its season 11-1. Selection committee chairman Gary Barta, who is Iowa's athletic director, noted selection protocol requires the committee to consider the unavailability of players and coaches and how that could affect a team's performance in the postseason. Losing Kelly had no impact on this week's ranking for Notre Dame because the committee does not project ahead into the postseason until all games are finished. - AP College Football

Michigan jumped to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday and Oklahoma State joined the top five for the first time since 2015. Georgia was a unanimous No. 1 in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank for the eighth consecutive week. For the fourth straight week, there is a different No. 2 team behind the Bulldogs. Michigan has its highest ranking since it peaked at No 2. in 2016. The Wolverines moved up four spots after emphatically beating Ohio State on Saturday to break an eight-game losing streak in the rivalry.

Cincinnati moved up to No. 3, flip-flopping with Alabama at No. 4. The Crimson Tide slipped after beating Auburn in overtime. Oklahoma State moved up two spots after beating Oklahoma for the first time since 2014. The Sooners fell three places to No. 13. Notre Dame dropped a spot to No. 6 and Ohio State tumbled five spots to No. 7 a week after it peaked at second last week. The week before the Buckeyes were No. 2, Alabama held that spot. The Tide had replaced Cincinnati the week before. Mississippi, Baylor and Oregon rounded out the top 10. - AP College Football

Hassan Haskins scored five touchdowns and Aidan Hutchinson had three sacks, helping No. 6 Michigan finally beat No. 2 Ohio State 42-27 Saturday to give Jim Harbaugh his first win as a coach against the Buckeyes. The Wolverines clinched the Big Ten East and will play in the conference title game next week with playoff hopes in hand. Michigan (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP) advanced to the conference championship for the first time. The Wolverines now have a chance to win a Big Ten title for the first time since 2004 and a national championship for the first time since 1997. Minutes after the game, long-suffering fans filled the Big House turf to celebrate a rare win in the storied series and they were in no rush to leave as music blared. Ohio State had won a school-record eight straight in the rivalry and 15 of 16 to turn The Game into its game.

The Buckeyes (10-2, 8-1) blew their chances to continue their dominance with 10 penalties, many before the snap, and because they simply could not stop Michigan's running game. Harbaugh clearly had his team ready to beat the Buckeyes. After Harbaugh's pay was slashed in his new deal last winter in part because of his lack of success against the Buckeyes, he reshaped his coaching staff again and renamed a running-heavy period of practice the “Beat Ohio,” drill for to add another layer of focus on the rivalry. It seemed to work. Haskins had 169 yards rushing on 28 carries, scoring a go-ahead touchdown late in the second half and four more after halftime to pad Michigan's lead. Blake Corum returned from a two-plus game absence to run six times for 87 yards, helping the Wolverines gain a total of 297 yards on a ground against a rival that has pushed them around for much of this century. Harbaugh also seemed to out coach Ryan Day, who had not lost a Big Ten game, by sprinkling in some surprise plays such as a slot-around with A.J. Henning running for a 14-yard run to cap the game-opening 10-play, 75-yard drive. - Houston/AP College Football

Hassan Haskins had to carry a heavier burden in the backfield because Blake Corum was injured. He delivered. Haskins ran for a career-high 168 yards and a touchdown, helping No. 9 Michigan bounce back from its first defeat with a 29-7 win over Indiana on Saturday night. "It was a different feeling, but I had to get the job done," Haskins said. The Wolverines (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) were coming off a deflating defeat, blowing a 16-point, third-quarter lead in a 37-33 loss to rival Michigan State last week. "That's out of our control, but going forward, we said, somebody has to pay and it just happened to be Indiana," Michigan defensive end David Ojabo said. The fifth-ranked Spartans lost for the first time this season earlier in the day, 40-29 to Purdue, and fell into a second-place tie with Michigan behind No. 6 Ohio State in the Big Ten East Division.

The Hoosiers (2-7, 0-6) have lost five straight games, collapsing in a season that started with them hoping to contend for at least a division title. "Our expectations were high in the beginning, and this isn't what we expected," linebacker Micah McFadden said. "So, it hurts." Haskins had 27 carries, matching a career high, without Corum on the field for much of the game. Corum, who has been among the nation's leading rushers all season, ran once for 4 yards and dropped a perfect pass in the flat for the second straight week before leaving the game. "I don't think it's serious," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "I don't know if it's mild. Somewhere less than serious." - Michigan/AP College Football
