The first game of the 2024 College Football Playoff ended as a classic.
The No. 1 Michigan Wolverines and the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide ended regulation tied at 20-20. On their first possession, Michigan’s Blake Corum rushed for 25 total yards and a score to push the Wolverines ahead, 27-20.
Alabama would then use six plays to drive to the Michigan three-yard line, but their championship dreams would end on fourth down, as Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe was stopped at the Michigan two-yard line on 4th down and goal.
