Milroe mishandled a shotgun snap on Alabama’s first play of its second possession, and Michigan recovered at the Tide 19, resulting in Zvada’s 30-yard field goal. On the third Tide possession, Milroe’s short pass to the right was tipped — and intercepted — by Wesley Walker inside the 20.

After committing three very early turnovers in the ReliaQuest Bowl, the Crimson Tide offense never got going despite the defense's stout effort.

Michigan’s offense didn’t have any drives of more than 50 yards and finished with a ReliaQuest Bowl-low 190 yards. Playing without its top two running backs, the Wolverines received a boost from true freshman Jordan Marshall, who made his first start and rushed for 100 yards on 23 carries.
