• U-M has achieved its first 12-win season since 1997 and the third in program history (1905). The Wolverines have won 10 games or more four times under head coach Jim Harbaugh.
• The program captured its first conference title since 2004.
• With the win, U-M has improved to 43-15-4 in 62 contests against their Big Ten foe, Iowa. U-M has won 14 of the last 22 matchups. This was the 13th meeting between the two programs with both teams ranked in the Associated Press poll. U-M is up to 7-5-1 in those contests.
