2024 Rose Bowl: #1 Michigan Wolverines (13-0) vs. #4 Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1)

What a dumb penalty.  Just when Michigan had nicely settled down. 

[TP_Fan]

Unsteady first quarter. Big 3rd down to start the 2nd quarter.  Need to keep bama on their heels.  

[Adullin]

What a weak call. 

[MichiganCardinal]

If the ref wanted to talk to him and tell him not to do it again that’s fine… but that’s a drive killing penalty.

[Tigerbomb13]

Pass rush has been outstanding. 

[MichiganCardinal]

More of that!!

Milroe is getting rocked

[TP_Fan]

You gotta go score now.  They are all over Milroe.  Go get 7 and really make him sweat. 

[lordstanley]

One of these sacks will eventually lead to a Milroe fumble. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Michigan is dominating both trenches. Need to cut the mistakes out and they can win.

[MichiganCardinal]

JJ had his man and just whiffed. Can’t have that.

[TP_Fan]

Oh JJ. Misses a wide open Cornelius Johnson.  And then nothing on 3rd and 6. An immediate 3 and out.   JJ has got to be better than that.  Michigan dominates with corum and now they won’t give him the ball. 

[RandyMarsh]

Gotta hit that throw on 2nd down, and don't love the play design on 3rd down. 

[lordstanley]

Punts have been short today. 3 kicks, 36 yard average

And right back to a long commercial break.  How do they get away with it.  There is no rhythm.

Lions to love that play. And it never works.  

[TP_Fan]

I don’t get the strategy.  Blake couldn’t be stopped and then they bring in orgi and throw it twice and have to punt immediately again.  Hand the ball to 2.  Don’t overthink it.

What’s Ojabo doing? Get him a uniform

[lordstanley]

Did Michigan call a 5 minute timeout?

another big stop. 

[TP_Fan]

Bama punter way better.  Ok JJ and offense. Let’s go.  Come on.

They have to be running out of commercial breaks.  

[TP_Fan]

Just give it to corum until they show they can stop it. 

[RandyMarsh]

BTW I missed the first 5 minutes of the game, lost track of time, did Michigan receive the opening kickoff or will we get it at halftime? Looking at the box score its hard for me to tell.

Michigan took the opening kickoff. JJ appeared to get picked off on 1st play but Alabama defender had stepped out of bounds. Then ended up being a 3 and out. Alabama gets the ball to start the 2nd half. 

[TP_Fan]

Tyler morris!!  That’s a JJ drive. Hell yeah. 

[lordstanley]

An hour ago I never thought Michigan would be going up 14-7. 
Update: I knew it, lol. Only 13-7. Michigan getting a lot of mistakes out of their system.
