Alabama’s lone real addition to the injury report from the Iron Bowl to now has been the addition of starting safety Malachi Moore, who will miss the ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan.

Michigan’s offense was already one one of the worst in college football in 2024. Now with an interim play-caller, several key opt-outs and the unit in a state of transition, can the Wolverines do enough to keep up with No.

Michigan battles Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl after topping Ohio State. Both seek a crucial win fueled by playoff aspirations. Which team can finish strong?

The Wolverines also have another linebacker that Alabama fans need to know Jaishawn Barham, a junior as well. Barham, a transfer from the Maryland Terrapins, is Michigan’s second-leading tackler at 65 for the season, while also having recorded four TFL, one sack, and two PD in what is one of the top years of his collegiate career so far.
