Game Notes

#8 Wolverines squeak by the #5 Crimson Tide 35-34 in OT.

Michigan prevails after Alabama's Ryan Pflugner pushes his PAT wide right in OT following Andrew Zow's 21-yard TD pass to Antonio Carter. The Wolverines had struck first when Tom Brady hit Shawn Thompson with a 25-yard TD pass on the 1st play of OT. The game was forced to OT when Hayden Epstein's FG attempt on the final play of regulation is blocked.

The Crimson Tide had open 14-point leads twice, but Michigan rallied behind Brady, who tossed 3 TDs in a 12-minute span from late 2nd quarter into the 3rd. Brady finished with 369 yards and 4 TDs in his final collegiate game. David Terrell catches 10 for 150 yards and 3 TDs.

Alabama gets big performances from its stars as Shaun Alexander rushes for 161 yards and 3 TDs, including a 50-yarder, while Freddie Milons returns a punt 62 yards for a score.
