Good news Alabama Crimson Tide land Best QB commit to Crimson Tide Georgia bulldogs and Auburn…
The Crimson Tide turned the ball over three times in a span of four plays during the opening 15 minutes as Michigan jumped out to a 16-0 lead.
That turned out to be enough points for the Wolverines to win the game, though they had to sweat at the end. Alabama got to the Michigan 15 yard-line with less than a minute to go, but Jalen Milroe’s fourth-down pass to the end zone fell incomplete before getting to the goal line.
Jalen Milroe fumbled on the first play of Alabama’s second possession, and Michigan kicked a second field goal. Milroe was then picked off two plays into Alabama’s third drive, and Michigan took over at the Alabama 16-yard line. Three plays later, Davis Warren hit Fredrick Moore for a 13-yard TD.
Milroe was sacked and fumbled again to open Alabama’s fourth drive, and Michigan took over at the Alabama 6-yard line. The Tide defense held the Wolverines to a field goal again, but the margin ended up too big to overcome, thanks to a stellar effort from a Michigan defense that didn’t have stars Mason Graham and Will Johnson as they prep for the 2025 NFL Draft.
The advantageous field position from the turnovers was the main reason Michigan won the game. The offense had just 190 total yards and struggled to move the ball like it has for much of the season. Michigan was 5-of-16 on third downs.
Warren left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury after he was sacked on a third down. But Michigan retained the ball and got an automatic first down as Alabama was called for a sideline foul for celebrating after the play. Multiple players ran onto the field from the bench in excitement, and the official patrolling that sideline was knocked down by an Alabama player as well.
Alex Orji replaced Warren and Michigan’s offense became even more ground-based. Orji was 2-of-3 passing for two yards and an interception. Freshman running back Jordan Marshall led the team with 23 carries for 100 yards. He saw the most work of any Michigan rusher as both Donovan Edwards and Kalel Mullings didn’t play Tuesday
