QB Jalen Milroe is expected to suit up for an Alabama offense that averages 35 points per game. Milroe makes big plays with his feet, and he’s tough to contain. The Michigan defense bends but ranks 23rd in red-zone success rate.

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.

TAMPA, Fla.–– Alabama football held its first practice in Tampa for the ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan. The Crimson Tide practiced on the campus of Berkeley Preparatory School on Friday morning. The media was allowed a few minutes of practice viewing as No.

Alabama football will see a familiar team before the Crimson Tide ends its 2024 season.

The Wolverines signed just one top-100 recruit the previous two cycles, while Alabama finished with consecutive top-2 classes.

Alabama and Michigan were part of the four-team College Football Playoff last season, with the Wolverines eventually capturing the national title. The teams meet again this postseason, albeit on a considerably smaller stage.
