Alabama ended the season last week with a disappointing loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Alabama, the first team left out of the College Football Playoff, was favored by more than two touchdowns but was stymied on offense.

A year removed from winning the national championship, Michigan finished its first season under Sherrone Moore with a victory setting the tone for a bright future. Moore replaced Jim Harbaugh after the former U of M coach left for the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers last winter.

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 quarterback Davis Warren ended his 2024 on a high note—but it came at a cost. In a Saturday afternoon social media post, Warren revealed that he tore his ACL during the Wolverines' 19–13 win over No. 11 Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Thursday.
