College Football

The University of Michigan is heading to college football’s national championship game, after a dramatic 27-20 overtime victory over Alabama in the Rose Bowl yesterday. The Wolverines led 13-10 at halftime, but were trailing by a touchdown with 94 seconds remaining when J.J. McCarthy hit Roman Wilson with a four-yard scoring strike. James Turner’s kick forced overtime. Michigan had the first possession. Blake Corum ran for eight yards on the first play, then dashed 17 yards into the endzone for a touchdown. The Crimson Tide drove to the Michigan three yard line. On fourth-and-goal, the Wolverines’ defense stopped running back Jason Milroe for a one-yard gain to end the drive and seal the win.

Top-ranked Michigan will face second-ranked Washington in the national championship game Monday night in Houston. The Huskies held off Texas 37-31 in the Sugar Bowl last night.
