Alabama, the first team left out of the College Football Playoff, was favored by more than two touchdowns but was stymied on offense.

Michigan ends their season with another big upset, as three first quarter turnovers created an early lead to help them defeat No. 11 ranked Alabama, 19-13, in the ReliaQuest Bowl on New Year's Eve.

Michigan’s defense sacked Jalen Milroe five times and forced three turnovers by the Alabama quarterback to lead the Wolverines to a 19-13 victory over the 11th-ranked Crimson Tide in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Alabama ended the season last week with a disappointing loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

The Wolverines also have another linebacker that Alabama fans need to know Jaishawn Barham, a junior as well. Barham, a transfer from the Maryland Terrapins, is Michigan’s second-leading tackler at 65 for the season, while also having recorded four TFL, one sack, and two PD in what is one of the top years of his collegiate career so far.

Michigan quarterback Davis Warren ended his 2024 on a high note—but it came at a cost. In a Saturday afternoon social media post, Warren revealed that he tore his ACL during the Wolverines' 19–13 win over No.

On the last day of 2024, Michigan closes out the year with another win over the Crimson Tide, this time in a physical ReliaQuest Bowl.
