I think Michigan has the better defense but they may offset each other. McCarthy is the better QB and can make better off script plays. If Michigan stops the Alabama RB’s they may have to design blitzes to make Milroe uncomfortable.

I know guys like Paul Finebaum and the ESPN machine will be behind Alabama so I already expect it and it’s happening already.

Michigan has to spend this month working on the Oline, getting everyone healthy and coming out with a more aggressive game plan than they had the last three weeks. They can’t do this run of the mill “Iowa ish” grind it out game..

Last year TCU came out with nothing to lose and quickly made Michigan play that Big 12 hell on wheels style. Michigan was never comfortable and McCarthy made too many mistakes.

With all the success Michigan has had for the past three years is nice but if it leads to a 3rd semifinal loss then to me it’s still a terrible failure almost like the Bills in the 90s.

With that said:

Michigan 24
Alabama 20

Its just funny to me how people pretend we haven't played good run defenses (Ohio, PSU, Nebraska), passing offenses (Ohio), or JJ is somehow not athletic

:russ: :russ: :russ:


We haven't seen a QB who is a threat with his feet yet that I will say.

I’ve been clamoring for this matchup since the 2020 Citrus Bowl, two of the all time best programs in the Rose Bowl, don’t get much better than that.
Game concerns me only cuz Michigan hasn't played anybody and hasn't had to show their entire playbook. McCarthy can do everything Thorne did but better. And still don't trust Milroe.

I swear the Coli’s like a high school gossip group sometimes.

Runnin with the narrative that ‘Michigan doesn’t wanna play Bama’ :gucci:

In order to win it all, you’re gonna play damn good teams. And in that video.. dudes in here talkin bout ‘oh, they scared. They ScArEd!!!’ When it’s obvious as hell that they were shocked that FSU got hosed. They even clapped at the end. :unimpressed:

Naw, that was a groan. We all know the difference between an “ooooooh” for a surprise and a “awwwwwwuuggh” for them nikkas are shook.

Folks tried to clap because they knew that shyt didn’t sound good, but it was too late. We already heard their response.
