20–27BOWL-NY6
About This Game
Alabama struck first with aggressive early offense, establishing a 7-0 lead through Jase McClellan's explosive 34-yard touchdown run. But Michigan's offense answered immediately—J.J. McCarthy orchestrated back-to-back touchdown drives in the opening quarter and second quarter, taking a commanding 13-7 lead after Tyler Morris hauled in a 38-yard TD pass. The game became a battle of execution and field position through the middle quarters, with both teams' defenses forcing punts and limiting opportunities. Alabama's rushing attack reasserted itself in the fourth quarter, with McClellan punching in another short TD and Will Reichard extending the lead to 20-13 with a field goal—seemingly enough to send the Crimson Tide to the championship game.
But Michigan's resolve proved unmatched. With 1:34 remaining in regulation, J.J. McCarthy connected with Roman Wilson for a 4-yard touchdown pass that tied the game at 20 and forced overtime at the Rose Bowl. In the first overtime period, Alabama's defense finally cracked. Jalen Milroe couldn't convert on fourth down, and Blake Corum punched through for a 17-yard touchdown that sealed a 27-20 victory for the undefeated Wolverines. This rose bowl classic—a back-and-forth battle of runs and receptions, momentum swings and late-game heroics—is now available as a custom Gameprint, visualizing every drive of this playoff thriller.
