16 THE WOLVERINE JANUARY 2023 BY THE NUMBERS 360 360 Pass-blocking snaps without a sack allowed for Michigan graduate cen- ter Olusegun Oluwatimi, who was named the winner of both the Rim- ington Trophy (nation's top center) and Outland Trophy (country's best interior lineman on either side of the ball). He yielded just 9 pres- sures through 13 games. Only 18 centers in the country with 318 or more pass-blocking snaps al- lowed fewer pressures. It hasn't been a grim mission. It's been a happy mission. But more than that, it's been a Godly mission. We thank our Lord and Savior." — Jim Harbaugh after Michigan won the Big Ten championship I love Coach Harbaugh already. This guy is freaking phenomenal, and Coach Sherrone … all the guys! They're great. The personality of Coach Har- baugh is amazing, and I can already tell that myself and Coach Sherrone are going to have a pretty good relation- ship, so I'm glad." — Michigan offensive line transfer commit LaDarius Henderson, a former Arizona State standout who made his pledge Dec. 6. "Ben Herbert … he's the X-factor in our entire foot- ball program. I've never had a bet- ter hire than Ben Herbert, and what he's meant to this program." — Jim Harbaugh on Michigan's head strength and conditioning coach .755 .755 Winning percentage for Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.
