Jalen Milroe fumbled on the first play of Alabama’s second possession and Michigan kicked a second field goal. Milroe was then picked off two plays into Alabama’s third drive and Michigan took over at the Alabama 16-yard line. Three plays later, Davis Warren hit Fredrick Moore for a 13-yard TD.

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.
