The Wolverines advanced to the College Football Playoff (CFP) for the second straight year, where they lost to TCU in the Fiesta Bowl for the CFP Semifinal on December 31.

Junior running back Blake Corum won the Chicago Tribune Silver Football, awarded to the best player from the Big Ten, and the Ameche–Dayne Running Back of the Year as the Big Ten's best running back. Graduate center Olu Oluwatimi, a transfer from the University of Virginia prior to the season, won the Outland Trophy as the nation's best interior lineman and the Rimington Trophy as the nation's best center. Senior defensive end Mike Morris was named the Smith–Brown Defensive Lineman of the Year as the Big Ten's top defensive lineman. Harbaugh was recognized as the Hayes–Schembechler Coach of the Year by the Big Ten. Corum and Oluwatimi were consensus selections to the 2022 College Football All-America Team.

The Wolverines opened their 2022 season on September 3 against the Colorado State Rams. Before a crowd of 109,575 at Michigan Stadium, the Wolverines defeated the Rams, 51–7.[24]

On the opening drive of the game, Michigan failed to gain a first down and was forced to punt. On Michigan's second drive, quarterback Cade McNamara threw a bubble screen pass to Roman Wilson who caught the ball at the 36-yard line and ran 64 yards for the opening score. On the next Colorado State possession, Michigan safety Rod Moore intercepted a pass at midfield and returned it to the Colorado State 13-yard line. After taking over in the red zone, McNamara threw a pass that was initially ruled as an interception but that was ruled incomplete after an official review. Michigan settled for a 31-yard field goal by Jake Moody and led, 10–0, at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Michigan's fourth drive stalled at the eight-yard line, and Michigan again settled for a 26-yard field goal by Moody. After a quarterback sack, Michigan was forced to punt on its fifth possession. On its sixth possession, Michigan started with excellent field possession near midfield, and Blake Corum capped the drive with a seven-yard touchdown run. On Michigan's eighth possession of the first half, Michigan stalled at the 16-yard line, and for the third time in the half, settled for a field goal by Moody. Michigan led, 23–0, at halftime.

Colorado State took the second-half kickoff, and on fourth down, quarterback Clay Millen fumbled, and Michigan defensive back D. J. Turner recovered the loose ball and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown. On Michigan's first offensive possession of the second half, McNamara began the drive at quarterback, but J. J. McCarthy took over near midfield. With McCarthy in charge of the offense, freshman running back C. J. Stokes gained 19 yards on his first collegiate carry, and McCarthy then ran the remaining 20 yards for a touchdown. Michigan led, 37–0, at the end of the third quarter.

Michigan's first full drive with McCarthy at quarterback began at the Michigan 42-yard line. McCarthy carried the ball twice for gains of 19 and 12 yards. The drive concluded with a one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter by Donovan Edwards. Colorado State responded with its only successful drive, scoring on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Millen to Tory Horton with 8:59 remaining in the game. Following the Colorado State touchdown, Alan Bowman took over at quarterback for Michigan, completing five of six passes. Bowman then gave way to fourth-string quarterback Alex Orji who ran four yards for Michigan's final touchdown with 1:41 remaining.[25]

On defense, Michigan had seven quarterback sacks and 11 tackles for loss. The defense held Colorado State to 137 passing yards and 82 rushing yards. On offense, Michigan tallied 206 passing yards and 234 rushing yards. Cade McNamara completed nine of eighteen passes for 136 yards and one touchdown and had a quarterback rating of 39.7.

On September 10, Michigan hosted Hawaii before a crowd of 110,012 at Michigan Stadium. The game was delayed by an hour due to a passing thunderstorm. The 9:01 p.m. kickoff was the latest in Michigan Stadium history. Due to the weather delay, the tradition of running under the M Club banner was not followed for the first time in some 60 years.[27]

Michigan won the game, 56–10.[28] The game was the first start for quarterback J. J. McCarthy. On their opening possession, the Wolverines drove 66 yards in 36 seconds on a 24-yard run by Blake Corum and a 42-yard touchdown pass from McCarthy to Roman Wilson. On their second possession, the Wolverines scored on a 77-yard drive that featured a 31-yard pass from McCarthy to Ronnie Bell and five runs by Corum, including a one-yard touchdown run. Michigan began its third possession in Hawaii territory after A. J. Henning returned a punt 35 yards to the 43-yard line. The Wolverines drove 43 yards on three plays, capped by Roman Wilson's second touchdown of the quarter on a 21-yard run. Michigan led, 21–0, at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, running back Donovan Edwards led a three-play, 59-yard touchdown drive. Edwards began the drive with a 25-yard run and then lined up wide to the right, covered by a linebacker, and caught a 33-yard pass at the Hawaii one-yard line. Edwards then ran one yard for the touchdown. On Michigan's next drive, Cade McNamara entered the game, and the drive stalled near midfield when McNamara was sacked – Hawaii's first sack of the season. McCarthy returned to the game for the final drive of the half with 2:06 remaining. McCarthy led a four-play, 52-yard drive, ending with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Cornelius Johnson. Michigan led, 42–0, at halftime.

In the third quarter, Michigan failed to score on three drives with McNamara at quarterback. Two drives ended in punts, and the third ended with Virdel Edwards II intercepting a pass. Hawaii scored the only points of the third quarter on a 26-yard field goal by Matthew Shipley.

Late in the third quarter, freshman Davis Warren entered the game as Michigan's quarterback. Warren led a 91-yard touchdown drive capped by a 15-yard touchdown run by C. J. Stokes. Hawaii responded with a 54-yard touchdown run by Tylan Hines. Warren then led the Wolverines on a 65-yard drive, concluding with a 38-yard touchdown run by Isaiah Gash.[29]

McCarthy completed 11 of 12 passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns with a quarterback rating of 99.2. Warren compiled a quarterback rating of 96.6 in his first game for Michigan. McNamara compiled a career-low quarterback rating of 1.8. On the ground, five Michigan players scored rushing touchdowns. Corum led the way with 88 rushing yards on nine carries. Stokes contributed 61 yards on eight carries, and Gash added 48 yards on three carries.[29] The coaching staff reached deep into the roster in the second half, giving 96 players an opportunity to participate for at least one play.[30]

Michigan scored 42 points in the first-half, the most points since scoring 43 points in the first-half against Rutgers in 2016. Michigan's offense recorded 410 total yards in the first-half, the fifth most total yards in a half in program history.[31]

On October 29, after a bye week, No. 4 Michigan defeated rival Michigan State, 29–7, in a night game at Michigan Stadium.[57] The Wolverines regained custody of the Paul Bunyan Trophy, ending the Spartans' two-game winning streak in the rivalry.

On the opening drive, Michigan State advanced the ball 29 yards on its first three plays, but penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct and false start stopped the drive. On Michigan's first possession, the Wolverines drove 33 yards, but Cornelius Johnson fumbled and the loose ball was recovered for the Spartans by Dashaun Mallory. Michigan State was then stopped on a fourth-and-one play, and the Wolverines took over at their own 46-yard line. Michigan then drove 41 yards on eight plays, including a 28-yard gain on a pass from J. J. McCarthy to Donovan Edwards. The drive stalled at the five-yard line, and Jake Moody kicked a 22-yard field goal. The Spartans responded with a six-play, 75-yard drive, capped by a 26-yard touchdown pass from Payton Thorne to Keon Coleman. Michigan State led, 7–3, at the end of the first quarter.

Early in the second quarter, Michigan retook the lead with an 80-yard drive, ending with a two-yard touchdown pass from McCarthy to Blake Corum. The Spartans responded with a 68-yard drive, including two long completions from Thorne to Coleman, but Michigan's defense held on a fourth-and-one play at Michigan's five-yard line. Michigan then had an 86-yard, 15-play drive that consumed six minutes and 23 seconds, ending with a 25-yard field goal by Moody. Michigan led, 13–7, at halftime.

Michigan took the kickoff to start the second half and drove 57 yards, settling for a career-long 54-yard field goal by Moody. After holding the Spartans to a three-and-out, the Wolverines drove 54 yards and settled for Moody's fourth field goal, a 33-yarder.

Early in the fourth quarter, Michigan's defense held, and the Spartans' long snap was too high for the punter to handle. Michigan took over at the Spartans' eight-yard line and scored on a four-yard touchdown run by Corum. Michigan's defense then held the Spartans to eight yards and a punt.[58][59]

Corum led the team on offense with 177 rushing yards on 33 carries, his fifth consecutive 100-yard rushing game; he had two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving. McCarthy completed 15 of 25 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown. Luke Schoonmaker led the receiving corps with five receptions for 70 yards.[60] Jake Moody was successful on all five field goal attempts and accounted for 17 of Michigan's 29 points. Michigan's only punt of the game came with 5:52 remaining in the fourth quarter.[58]

On defense, the Wolverines held the Spartans to 37 rushing yards, and forced the Spartans into three consecutive three-and-outs to begin the second half and allowed just three Spartans first downs in the entire second half. Coleman caught five passes for 155 yards and a touchdown for the Spartans.[60] Today's game marked the 600th in the history of Michigan Stadium.[61]

Melee in the tunnel

[edit]

After the game, an incident broke out in the Michigan Stadium tunnel. Several Michigan State players assaulted Michigan defensive backs Gemon Green and JaDen McBurrows. Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press was present and reported that he saw Michigan State players punching, shoving and kicking McBurrows.[62] McBurrows reportedly sustained a nose injury. Green was struck by a helmet swung by a Michigan State player, reportedly sustained a concussion and facial cuts, and hired attorney Tom Mars to file a lawsuit for assault.[63][64]

Reaction to the incident was swift. In his postgame news conference, Jim Harbaugh described the incident as a "10 on 1, pretty bad," and noted that one of the players sustained a "nasal injury."[65] Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News described it as a "brutal attack" and condemned the actions of the Michigan State players as "profound cowardice."[66]

Michigan State coach Mel Tucker tweeted the next morning: "While emotions were very high at the conclusion of our rivalry game at Michigan Stadium, there is no excuse for behavior that puts our team or our opponents at risk."[67] On the Sunday evening after the game, Tucker announced the suspension of four players: Angelo Grose, Zion Young, Itayvion "Tank" Brown, and Khary Crump.[68] On November 1, Michigan State suspended four additional players: Malcolm Jones, Justin White, Jacoby Windmon and Brandon Wright.[69] On November 23, criminal charges for felonious assault, aggravated assault, or assault and battery were filed against seven Michigan State players in connection with the tunnel incident.[70] On November 28, following the Big Ten's investigation, it was announced that the Spartans were fined $100,000 and Khary Crump was suspended for the first eight games of the 2023 season.[71] On December 24, a plea deal was announced and on January 5, 2023, Khary Crump will plead guilty to misdemeanor counts of assault/battery and disorderly conduct person-jostling.[72]

On November 26, Michigan (ranked No. 3) defeated rival Ohio State (ranked No. 2), 45–23, before a crowd of 106,787 at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. With the victory, Michigan won the Big Ten East Division championship and improved to 12–0 for the first time since 1997.

Ohio State opened the game with a 12-play, 81-yard touchdown drive, scoring on a four-yard touchdown pass from C. J. Stroud to Emeka Egbuka. Michigan responded with a 44-yard, 10-play drive, including a 33-yard pass from J. J. McCarthy to Ronnie Bell, and ending with a 49-yard field goal by Jake Moody. On their second possession, the Buckeyes drove 58 yards on 10 plays, and Noah Ruggles kicked a 32-yard field goal with 1:19 remaining in the first quarter. Ohio State led, 10–3, at the end of the first quarter.[89][90][91]

Halfway through the second quarter, J. J. McCarthy connected with Cornelius Johnson on a sideline out pass; Johnson broke a tackle, and ran for a touchdown, the play covering 69 yards. Ohio State responded with a 47-yard field goal by Ruggles to regain the lead. Michigan took the lead with a second long touchdown pass from McCarthy to Johnson, this one down the middle of the field covering 75 yards. Ohio State then drove 79 yards on four plays, ending with a 42-yard touchdown pass from Stroud to Marvin Harrison Jr. The half ended with three consecutive three-and-outs, two by Michigan and one by Ohio State. The Buckeyes led, 20–17, at halftime.[89][90][91]

Michigan took the second-half kickoff and drove 75 yards on seven plays, including a 19-yard run by McCarthy and culminating with a 45-yard touchdown pass from McCarthy to freshman tight end Colston Loveland. The defenses dominated the balance of the third quarter as Ohio State punted twice and Michigan once. Michigan led, 24–20, at the end of the third quarter.[89][90][91]

Michigan extended its lead early in the fourth quarter on a three-yard touchdown run by McCarthy, culminating a 15-play, 81-yard drive that consumed 7:51 off the clock. On Michigan's next possession, Moody missed a 57-yard field goal attempt. Ohio State then drove 52 yards to the Michigan nine-yard line. On third-and-four from the nine-yard line, Stroud threw a pass that landed in the hands of Cade Stover in the end zone, but Mike Sainristil knocked the ball from Stovers' hand, and the Buckeyes settled for a 27-yard field goal by Ruggles. On the next play from scrimmage after the field goal, Donovan Edwards, wearing a cast on his right hand, scored on a 75-yard touchdown run down the right sideline with 7:11 remaining in the game. Ohio State then drove 59 yards to Michigan's 16-yard line. On third down from the 16-yard line, Stroud tossed a shovel pass that was intercepted by Taylor Upshaw at the eight-yard line. Edwards then scored on his second long run of the quarter, this time for 85 yards. With 1:48 remaining in the game, Makari Paige intercepted a Stroud pass, and Michigan was able to run out the clock.[89][90][91]

At the end of the game, Michigan defensive back Mike Sainristil planted a "Block M" flag in the "O" logo in the middle of the field.[92] The victory gave Michigan consecutive victories over Ohio State for the first time since the 1999 and 2000 seasons. It was also Michigan's first victory at Ohio Stadium since 2000. McCarthy became the first quarterback in program history to begin his career with at least 11 wins as a starter before taking his first loss, surpassing the previous record of 10 set by Dennis Franklin in 1972.[93]
