Milroe mishandled a shotgun snap on Alabama’s first play of its second possession, and Michigan recovered at the Tide 19, resulting in Zvada’s 30-yard field goal. On the third Tide possession, Milroe’s short pass to the right was tipped — and intercepted — by Wesley Walker inside the 20.

The Wolverines rewrote their narrative with two improbable wins to end the season. Here's what we learned at the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Alabama had three turnovers in four plays at one point in the first quarter, in which Michigan gained possession inside the Crimson Tide 's 30-yard line each time. Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe threw an interception and fumbled twice in the first quarter, which ultimately was the difference on Tuesday.

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.

The Wolverines started the year playing Alabama on Jan. 1 at the Rose Bowl, but with both teams starting anew with brand new head coaches, they both fell short of expectations and are playing again on Dec. 31, New Year’s Eve, at the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa.

Three early turnovers doomed the Crimson Tide from the start as Alabama's 16-year streak of at least 10 wins ends.
