TAMPA, Fla. — No one expected Michigan football to come into Raymond James Stadium and upset the vaunted Alabama Crimson Tide. However, the Wolverines took the Jan. 1 game against Alabama and returned the favor again on Dec. 31 to close out the bookended calendar year.

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.

Alabama’s starting running back, Jam Miller did not have as much success running the ball against Michigan, with the Crimson Tide rushing for only a combined 68 yards altogether. Miller averaged a total of 2.7 yards per carry on his 10 rushes for 27 yards, while the running back hauled in a trio of receptions for 36 yards as well.
