Winter Park, Fla. — Everyone is aware of Alabama’s phenomenal success under coach Nick Saban.
The Tide have played in six national title games since 2011 and won four. Saban also won a national championship at LSU in 2003 and at Alabama in 2009.
Michigan (9-3) and Alabama (10-2) will meet in the Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Day, the fifth time the programs have met. Michigan first-year offensive coordinator Josh Gattis was co-offensive coordinator at Alabama last year and has shared as much insight into the Tide as possible with Michigan coaches and players.
