Rose Bowl: Michigan beats Alabama 27-20 in OT to advance to CFP national championship game

Michigan is playing for a national title.

RB Blake Corum’s 17-yard run in overtime gave the Wolverines a 27-20 win over Alabama in the Rose Bowl. It’s the first win in three straight College Football Playoff appearances for the Wolverines as the team looks for its first national title since 1997.

Corum scored on the second play of Michigan’s OT possession. The Wolverines got the ball first and Alabama had a chance to respond, but couldn’t get into the end zone. A run by QB Jalen Milroe got the Crimson Tide inside the Michigan 10, but the Wolverines’ defense held firm on fourth down and Milroe was stuffed on a quarterback keeper.
