Football teams often have to deal with sudden change, but going from Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum to Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards to Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards to (question mark) means that there’s little known production at the running back position for Michigan football entering 2025.

Former Alabama RB Justice Haynes has reportedly committed to Michigan to continue his college football career.

While the traditional stakes might not be there, those who are playing believe there's plenty on the line for the Wolverines against Alabama.

Most of Alabama’s players appear to be gearing up for the ReliaQuest Bowl. One of the most notable opt-outs on offense was third-leading rusher RB Justice Haynes. Top RB Jam Miller is expected to play, and the Crimson Tide offense should still perform well.

Michigan will play in one week from today when the Wolverines travel down to Florida to take on Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl. The maize and blue will take on Bama for the second time in this calendar year and Michigan got the best of the Crimson Tide the first time the two teams played.

A number of stars like Mason Graham, Will Johnson, Myles Hinton and Donovan Edwards have all opted out, but U-M still has plenty to fight for.

Alabama football will finish its 2024 season vs Michigan. Here's the latest TV schedule and streaming information for the ReliaQuest Bowl.
