After Michigan fumbled a punt at its 44, Jase McClellan raced 34 yeard to put Alabama up 7-0 with still 9:41 left in the opening quarter. McCellan missed the SECCG but returned from his injury vs. the Wolverines.
Michigan responded with a 75-yard march to tie matters at 7 on an 8-yard pass from JJ McCarthy to Blake Corum late in the opening quarter.
Michigan took a 13-7 lead on a 38-yard TD pass from JJ McCarthy to Tyler Morris, but Bama responded with a 50-yard Will Reichard field goal. Michigan botched the PAT on its touchdown due to a bad snap.
Michigan led 12-10 at half. Jalen Milroe was sacked five times in the first 30 minutes.
In the second half, the Tide began to turn.
Milroe led a 55-yard drive that McClellan capped with a 4-yard run with 14:30 left in the game and Bama was up 17-13.
With 4:41 to go, Reichard booted a 52-yarder for a 20-13 lead and broke Leigh Tiffin's record for career UA field goals.
