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 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.
