Milroe mishandled a shotgun snap on Alabama’s first play of its second possession, and Michigan recovered at the Tide 19, resulting in Zvada’s 30-yard field goal. On the third Tide possession, Milroe’s short pass to the right was tipped — and intercepted — by Wesley Walker inside the 20.

Alabama, the first team left out of the College Football Playoff, was favored by more than two touchdowns but was stymied on offense.

Alabama had three turnovers in four plays at one point in the first quarter, in which Michigan gained possession inside the Crimson Tide 's 30-yard line each time. Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe threw an interception and fumbled twice in the first quarter, which ultimately was the difference on Tuesday.
