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

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

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 received the ball first, sending Michigan’s new-look defense on the field right away. Rayshaun Benny and redshirt freshman Enow Etta got the starting nod at DT, while TJ Guy started at edge in place of Josaiah Stewart.

Five Free Press sports writers have some thoughts about whether Michigan football can pick off Alabama in Tuesday's ReliaQuest Bowl.

In its final exam to end the first season of the Kalen DeBoer era, Alabama football condensed the highs and lows of its entire 2024 season into 60 minutes.  For the Crimson Tide, the bad outweighed the good is it lost 19-13 to Michigan in the 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl to secure Alabama's first season without 10 wins since 2007.

Final thoughts and takeaways from the field at Raymond James Stadium where the Crimson Tide's season ended with a loss to Michigan.

A relatively thin weather system passed through Tampa during the ReliaQuest Bowl, effectively appearing, screwing up Alabama's first quarter, and leaving.

Alabama's first four series vs Michigan resulted in the Wolverines offense getting the ball in Crimson Tide territory, with three turnovers and downs.

Simply put, every time the Alabama Crimson Tide and Michigan Wolverines collide on the football field, it garners national attention, and rightfully so. Well, that is exactly what happened once again

The 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl kicks off at 11 a.m. on New Year’s Eve at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. ESPN will broadcast the game live.
