Jim Harbaugh, Nick Saban explain final play of Michigan’s Rose Bowl win

The Rose Bowl went down to the wire, then it went beyond it as regulation time concluded with the score at 20-20.

In overtime, the Wolverines drew first blood with a 17-yard Blake Corum rushing touchdown to put Michigan up 27-20. It was then up to Alabama’s offense to answer with a touchdown to extend the game to a second overtime. However, Michigan had other plans.

On 4th and Goal from the three-yard line Alabama went with an RPO look from quarterback Jalen Milroe. Milroe opted to run with the ball and was stuffed by Michigan’s Derrick Moore well short of the goal line.
