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 Olusegun 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. Michigan's offensive line was honored with the Joe Moore Award for second straight season.

Also on February 9, Michigan announced the hire of former Michigan player Grant Newsome as the program's tight ends coach, after previously spending two seasons as a graduate assistant with the program.^[9]
Harbaugh also announced a reassignment of numerous staff roles on February 9. Offensive line coach Sherrone Moore and quarterbacks coach Matt Weiss were named co-offensive coordinators, replacing Gattis. Safeties coach Ron Bellamy transitioned into the role of wide receivers coach. Running backs coach Mike Hart added the title of run game coordinator.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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 12, Michigan defeated Nebraska, 34–3, in front of a crowd of 110,912 at Michigan Stadium.^[78]

After the opening kickoff, Nebraska drove to Michigan's 35-yard line, but a false start penalty and a sack by Junior Colson pushed the Cornhuskers back to the 41-yard line where they were forced to punt. The Wolverines took over at the 20-yard line and drove 80 yards on 12 plays, finally scoring on a two-yard run by Blake Corum. The teams traded punts on the next five possessions. Michigan led, 7–0, at the end of the first quarter.^[79]^[80]^[81]

With 8:46 remaining in the second quarter, J. J. McCarthy threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to Ronnie Bell to cap a 66-yard drive. Nebraska responded with a 56-yard drive that included a pass to Alante Brown in which Brown tried to hurdle over Mike Sainristil, but Sainristil jumped as well, his helmet striking Brown between his legs, causing Brown to tumble head first to the ground. Nebraska's drive ended with a 37-yard field goal by Timmy Bleekrode. Late in the second quarter, Michigan drove 55 yards on 12 plays, and Jake Moody kicked a 30-yard field goal with one second remaining. Michigan led, 17–3, at halftime.^[79]^[80]^[81]

Michigan held Nebraska to 43 yards of offense and zero points in the second half. On Michigan's second possession of the half, they drove 65 yards on 10 plays and scored on a three-yard touchdown run by McCarthy. In the fourth quarter, Michigan extended its lead with a 76-yard touchdown drive ending with a 29-yard pass from McCarthy to Bell; Bell fumbled the ball into the end zone and Andrel Anthony recovered the ball for a touchdown before it bounced out of bounds. Michigan concluded the scoring with 4:35 remaining on a 43-yard field goal by Moody.^[79]^[80]^[81]

Michigan out-gained Nebraska by a total of 412 yards to 146, as the Cornhuskers reached the red zone only once. Corum led the way on offense for Michigan, totaling 162 rushing yards on 28 carries. McCarthy completed eight of 17 passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns. Moody's first-quarter extra point gave him 100 for the season, becoming the third player in Michigan history to record consecutive seasons with 100-plus points, following Anthony Thomas (1999–2000) and Tom Harmon (1939–40).^[82]
