As Alabama football gets ready to play Michigan, the other SEC coaches are giving the Crimson Tide a vote of confidence. According to The Athletic, the coaches think Alabama will beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Alabama is seeded fourth in the College Football Playoffs after edging past Georgia in the SEC championship. The team has only lost once this season, to Texas in September. Since then, they have defeated every opponent they have faced.
The SEC coaches think the winning will continue, even though several of their teams played Alabama this season. The coaches believe that for Michigan to stay competitive, they need to run the football successfully. The coaches all agreed that the Wolverines cannot compete with Alabama’s defense.
“Michigan needs to make it to third-and-short,” an SEC head coach stated, as reported by The Athletic. They’ll have a chance if they can pull that off. Nick must not be permitted to access their third-down packages.
Considering that Alabama football is the official underdog in this game, it’s a little surprising that the team is receiving so much positive feedback. Michigan is ranked as the top seed in the CFP going into the match. This season, the Wolverines dominated, going into the Rose Bowl with a perfect 13-0 record. While Michigan’s football program was embroiled in a scandal involving sign-stealing, which required him to serve suspensions from both the school and the Big Ten, the team was undefeated and played multiple games without head coach Jim Harbaugh.
