Alabama hopes to avenge loss from the 2024 Rose Bowl
Michigan defeated Alabama 27-20 in overtime to win the Rose Bowl in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff. The game marked the end of an era as it was the last game Nick Saban coached for Alabama, and he decided to retire on Jan. 10. Tuesday presents the opportunity for "The Tide" to avenge their loss to the Wolverines.
Both teams enter the ReliaQuest Bowl after winning their last regular-season game. In Week 14, the Crimson Tide beat the Auburn Tigers (5-7, 2-6 SEC) 28-14 on Nov. 30. Quarterback Jalen Milroe led the team to victory by using his running instead of passing to outscore Auburn. He ended the game with 17 carries for 104 yards and three touchdowns.
For Michigan, this season has been a step backward from the team's undefeated record and championship win last season. Quarterback Davis Warren has struggled after taking over the starting role. He has completed 125 passes for 1,126 yards and six touchdowns.
Alabama vs. Michigan: Head-to-head
The Wolverines' issues this season could tip the balance in favor of the Tide to win the ReliaQuest Bowl on Tuesday. DraftKings has Alabama as a -550 favorite to get revenge for their defeat in the Rose Bowl.
One key factor in the matchup will be Warren's performance. The Wolverines quarterback did not score a touchdown in the team's 13-10 victory over the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes (11-2, 7-2 Big Ten) on Nov. 30. He completed 9 of 16 passes for 62 yards and two interceptions.
Michigan will need him to perform better in their rematch against Alabama to have a better chance of winning.
