Missed extra point game, I remember it well.
| FTBL Bama Michigan matchup
- Thread starter bamaledge
- Start date
And Michigan beat Tebow one year when Lloyd Carr was retiring. I believe it was after the 2007 or 2009 season. Florida was in the top 10 that year also. It was some good info, I think some of it was just a little off. They’ve had some success in bowls since 1997, just not a ton of it.
I took it from the Rant, I went and looked it up. We were ranked 4th in the BCS before that game. I remember that game well though. I was there for the missed PAT. The wife wondered why I wasn’t bitching and complaining. I told her that it was only fitting for us to lose that way considering our win in Gainesville earlier in the year on a Gator missed PAT.
Anyone remember when we beat Michigan’s ass after the 2019 season with Mac Jones at the helm? Juedy had 200 yards receiving and Najee over 130 on the ground. Their D was good that year, but not when we came to town. And our defense shut down their QB.

Referenced that one the other day... one of the only times I can really recall Saban running up the score on purpose (and did so to send a little extra message to Harbaugh that day).
That was the D we ran back in ancient times
. I was strong safety. Played run support and normally covered the TE. Sometimes might get the slot back.I’m like alot of y’all, and haven’t watched a whole lot of Michigan football this year. Their secondary seems to get a lot of love - mainly for their performance against the Buckeyes.
Bottom line is that UM has not faced anyone even close to the caliber of Alabama. The speed, the power, the aggressiveness; it's the same thing ND saw in 2012. And when you give Saban a month to prepare, it's like giving Usain Bolt a one lap head start. I see Bama beating UM by 3 scores.
8 of their 13 games came against opponents that were 101 or worse in total offense. So their defense feasted on some weak ass teams!! In comparison, we faced 3!
Look at this stat!
Vs the 4 best defenses they played (#3Ohio State,#1 Penn St, #5Iowa, #35 Maryland), they scored 46 points on 96 total yards. Drives where their defense or special teams either handed them the ball inside opponents territory or just put points on the board themselves.

Alabama is set to take on Michigan in the Rose Bowl, serving as a College Football Playoff semifinal matchup. No. 1 vs. No. 4 to determine who gets to play for a national championship.
ESPN recently revealed score predictions for every single bowl game (subscription required), and they made a rather interesting pick for the Rose Bowl.
While Michigan is the top-ranked team and is the favorite to win it, Alabama is projected to win with a final score of 31-23. A whopping eight-point victory over another No. 1 team, less than a month after beating then-No. 1 ranked Georgia.
With that win, the Tide would move on to the national title game. ESPN’s prediction has Washington beating Texas 37-33, which means Alabama and Washington battle it out to win it all.
But doesn't this include the one not playing?
I thought the Bama OL was heavier than the Philadelphia Eagles OL. Since he is from Philly, perhaps he needs to be concerned about their OL and not Bama's.
Sometimes, in life, you just have to say, "okay."
Does this sphincter think our Oline is fat and slow?
Dude must’ve included everyone listed with OL by their name on the roster, including our 255lb walk ons!
I know Proctor and Booker are worried sick about a white kid with diamond earrings named Braiden...
