The Wolverines rewrote their narrative with two improbable wins to end the season. Here's what we learned at the ReliaQuest Bowl.

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

The ReliaQuest Bowl did not go according to plan for Alabama, with the Crimson Tide losing to Michigan for the second straight year in a bowl game.

The Crimson Tide's starter was Elijah Pritchett for the majority of 2024, a position battle he won and held onto from Week 3 against Wisconsin until the Mercer game. In Alabama's 28-14 win against Auburn Nov. 30, Pritchett and Wilkin Formby basically split each series, something that continued into the bowl game.

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 built some momentum heading into the half with two strong drives from the offense, but that momentum evaporated in the third quarter. Even with all the mistakes, the Crimson Tide still had a chance to win in the final minutes.

Here's how social media is reacting to Michigan knocking off No. 11 Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Tuesday:

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.
