Here’s what national media members are saying about the Wolverines after defeating Penn State.

Michigan got a signature win on Saturday against Penn State when it went into Happy Valley and left with a 24-15 victory. The Wolverines moved to 10-0 and did so on the ground. Six Wolverines appear on ESPN's 2023 list of top 100 NCAA football players - mlive.com

The Wolverines ran 32 consecutive run plays in the second half — not throwing a single pass statistically — and dominated the trenches against the then-No. 2 ranked run defense. Blake Corum erupted for 145 yards and two scores and Donovan Edwards ran for 52 yards and a score.

The Michigan defense flustered Drew Allar who was extremely inconsistent in throwing against the Wolverines’ secondary.

Here’s what the national media is saying about Michigan after defeating Penn State.

CBS Sports’ Barrett Sallee gave Michigan an A+ grade in win over PSU:

Remember when the knock against Michigan was a weak schedule? Well, the Wolverines put that narrative to bed with a resounding 24-15 win over Penn State by calling 32 straight runs to close out the Nittany Lions. Harbaugh’s suspension has ushered in a “Michigan vs. the world” rallying cry from the team, and the world got a heavy dose of it in Happy Valley.

CBS Sports named Michigan as one of the ‘winners’ from Saturday:

Few in college football can understand the chaos that Michigan has experienced over the past 24 hours. The question of Jim Harbaugh’s status hung over the program until, quite literally, moments before the game started. The coach’s suspension was handed down on Friday while the team was on its flight to face No. 10 Penn State.

Yet amid all the drama, Michigan came out and stood tall. The Wolverines took a 14-3 lead in the second quarter against Penn State and would never surrender. Michigan rushed for 227 yards and three touchdowns behind a breakout performance from senior Blake Corum, and needed just eight passes from quarterback J.J. McCarthy to pull off a win.
