Michigan will play the best team they have faced all season on Monday afternoon. To beat the Tide, the Wolverines have to play very well and these 3 things are a must:
1. Offensive Line must play well. They must open run lanes for Blake and Donovan. They also must pass protect much better then they have been. With the loss of Zinter this isn't going to be easy but a must for a Michigan to win.
2. We get Great JJ. Saban understands that Bama has had trouble stopping the run. He is going to stack the box to stop Michigan's run game like every other team as tried all year. Which means JJ will have to hit Michigan's WR's and TE's to score TD's. Pass Pro will be key but so will JJ getting outside the pocket, finding open targets and running for 1st downs. Bama has talented DB's, so I love targeting the TE's and throwing to Donovan.
3. Contain Milroe. Michigan has struggled in the past with athletic QB's. There needs to be a serious plan to make sure Jalen Milroe stays in the pocket and not letting him run around.
My preview for the Rose Bowl will come out on Sunday this weekend.
- Michigan always seems to be the bridesmaid and never the bride in the Domani Jackson recruitment. He was spotted a Bama's practice yesterday and picked Alabama
- I have no idea on how to predict Bowl Games when you really don't know who is playing, who is in the portal, and who is sitting out for the draft? Mizzou - OSU tonight might be interesting and give us a future look at what OSU has next season.

Guys, I'm so excited about this matchup!... Best thing for JJ is whatever happens, he should hit the transfer portal and transfer to USC and showcases his talent and be the number one pick for year... Donovan Edwards should come back and be the main back next year...
Blue for life
Domani Jackson wanted that bag money. Think St. Nick doesn't still have his 'people' around? Pssssh. See you Monday, MFer!!
Some of the Alabama players alluded Michigan's success to the sign stealing. This is as offensive as talking about someone's mother, and you don't talk about someone's mother that is from Detroit. UM- 27, Crimson Turd- 23.
Man logic tell me we can win. Emotion says different. Look both teams have strengths that are the oppositions weaknesses. Michigan runs the ball well and Bama has struggled against the run. Bama has really good edges and our OT play has been MEH at best. Bama's has some really good corners, but Michigan's passing attack flows thru the TEs, where Bama's LBs are weak. Bama's IOL has been suspect at times and our DTs are the best unit on D.
Where emotion takes over is that's Nick Saban and Bama on the other sideline. They are from the SEC. The last 2 CFP appearances have not gone well for us and Jim's over all bowl record has been arse!
I guess money talks.
Congrats to Michigan. I have not seen a team outside the SEC that played with the same determination and smashmouth play as this group. Down, and their backs against the wall, I felt I was seeing a Bear Bryant team of old. Go Blue. An Alabama fan of 60 years
