Bowl roundup: Michigan upsets No. 11 Alabama

wolverines, alabama

Dominic Zvada kicked four goals and Davis Warren threw a touchdown pass before leaving with a knee injury as Michigan notched a 19-13 victory over No. 11 Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Tuesday in Tampa.

The Wolverines (8-5) took advantage of three Crimson Tide first-quarter turnovers to build a 16-point lead en route to winning their third straight contest.

Jalen Milroe completed 16 of 32 passes for 192 yards, one touchdown and one interception for Alabama (9-4). But Milroe had just 7 yards on 16 rushes and he was mistake-prone in the first quarter with an interception and two lost fumbles.

The Crimson Tide rushed for just 68 yards, well below their season average (182.7).

Citrus Bowl: No. 20 Illinois 21, No. 15 South Carolina 17

Josh McCray rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with 7:29 left, to lead the Fighting Illini to a victory over the Gamecocks in Orlando.

Luke Altmyer completed 13 of 22 passes for 174 yards with one score and one interception, while Gabe Jacas racked up three tackles for loss as Illinois (10-3) earned its first 10-win season since 2001. It also marked the Illini’s first win over an SEC team.

Redshirt freshman LaNorris Sellers hit on 24 of 34 passes for 260 yards and one touchdown for South Carolina (9-4), which had its six-game winning streak snapped. Oscar Adaway rushed for 69 yards and one touchdown and caught seven passes for 37 yards.

Texas Bowl: LSU 44, Baylor 31

Garrett Nussmeier passed for 304 yards and three touchdowns as the Tigers defeated the Bears in Houston.

Nussmeier threw two touchdown passes to Trey’Dez Green, and Chris Hilton Jr. caught the other scoring pass and finished with 113 receiving yards for the Tigers (9-4). LSU’s Zavion Thomas had a 95-yard kickoff return for touchdown.

Sawyer Robertson passed for 445 yards and two touchdowns and Josh Cameron had eight catches for 111 yards and a score to lead Baylor (8-5), which hadn’t lost since Oct. 5. The Bears squandered scoring opportunities by failing on 5 of 6 fourth-down conversion attempts.

Sun Bowl: Louisville 35, Washington 34

Harrison Bailey threw for three touchdowns and the Cardinals held off the Huskies in El Paso, Texas.

Bailey was more efficient than spectacular, completing 16 of 25 passes for 164 yards, but also directed a turnover-free offense that boasted good balance. Louisville (9-4) rushed for 207 yards, getting 99 yards from freshman Isaac Brown and 83 from another freshman, Duke Watson.

Washington (6-7) got a big game from quarterback Demond Williams Jr., who shrugged off an early pick-six to hit 26 of 32 attempts for 374 yards and four scores. Giles Jackson shredded the Louisville secondary for 11 catches, 161 yards and all four touchdowns.
