Michigan’s playoff matchup with Alabama in the Rose Bowl will be here before we know it, and the Wolverines are eager to get a win after losing in the semifinal in back-to-back seasons. In both those previous semifinal matchups, the Wolverines got behind early and spent the games trying to play catch-up.
This season, it will be important for Michigan to start the game strong and finish the job, especially against a team as well coached and talented as Alabama.
Plenty has gone right this year for Michigan, and it will be important to continue those positive trends.
