Following Michigan's College Football Playoff title win over Washington on Monday night, head coach Jim Harbaugh called his team "innocent" of any cheating allegations.
Per The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach, Harbaugh said his team stayed resilient throughout the season because they believed they were not guilty of sign-stealing allegations.
"Off the field issues? We're innocent," Harbaugh said. "We stood strong and tall because we knew we're innocent."
Michigan's resiliency paid off, as the Wolverines capped off an undefeated season with a dominant 34-13 win over the Huskies to claim their first national championship since 1997.
