Michigan will enter Tuesday afternoon as major underdogs to an Alabama squad that barely missed out on the College Football Playoff this season. The Crimson Tide are currently 12.5-point favorites over the Wolverines.

Alabama’s lone real addition to the injury report from the Iron Bowl to now has been the addition of starting safety Malachi Moore, who will miss the ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan.

Michigan’s offense was already one one of the worst in college football in 2024. Now with an interim play-caller, several key opt-outs and the unit in a state of transition, can the Wolverines do enough to keep up with No.

Michigan football has been in full preparation for Alabama and the ReliaQuest Bowl for weeks, but Friday marked the first practice away from Ann Arbor for the maize and blue. What's more, we in the media are allowed to catch a little glimpse of what the team is working on at the outset of practice.

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.

Michigan's 2024 football season will come to an end on Tuesday when the Wolverines face Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on New Years Eve. It was an up-and-down season for Sherrone Moore during his first full season as the Wolverines' head coach.
