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

Michigan’s defense sacked Jalen Milroe five times and forced three turnovers by the Alabama quarterback to lead the Wolverines to a 19-13 victory over the 11th-ranked Crimson Tide in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

After committing three very early turnovers in the ReliaQuest Bowl, the Crimson Tide offense never got going despite the defense's stout effort.
