Michigan Beats Alabama - Josh Pate Rose Bowl Reaction (Late Kick Cut)

Michigan really is 1 more win away from setting off mass self harm demonstrations in the state of Ohio.

Josiah Stewart just destroying Bama's OT who has 100lbs on him was incredible and was the main reason why that final play got stuffed.

It's so weird because Michigan's special teams have been near flawless all season. Pressure does funny things.

Die hard Bama fan here. Nothing but respect to Michigan. They brought the pressure, kick our butte on the D-line

The best description I've heard so far, "Michigan beat Alabama, and didn't need to be perfect to do it". I feel like the rest of the country is finally waking up to what Michigan fans have known all season

Can’t stand how critical people are when these players mess up in big moments, you have to realize, these guys are kids. 20-25 years old. Shocking Michigan has so many mishaps on special teams and still beat us. Roll Tide! Congrats Michigan.

All we heard for a month leading up to the game was that Michigan was scared to play Bama, that it was going to be a blowout, that Milroe was the next Lamarr Jackson, etc. Saban got outcoached and Michigan controlled the LOS, that was the game.

I really didn’t want to lose to Michigan. I’m glad we did. It was the reality check I needed to understand that as a team we’re not quite put together to the point of being the best team in the nation mentally or physically but we’re right there w the best still and that gave me relief given how the season started. Massive congrats to Michigan, they’re some stone cold, hard nose, eat your heart out your chest type of guys and I respect the shit out of that. Bama will be back mark that down but at the end of the day, Michigan earned it and earned it well and deserve to play for the natty. Respect.

For anyone who thinks shakey cell phone footage gives you an advantage, remember Alabama had a Michigan coach on their sideline

Michigan clearly looked to be the better and more physical team

Josh underestimated michigan all year

according to the sec mafia michigan was afraid to play bama

As bad as I hate to see the season end, I always love when playoff games are competitive. When either team could’ve won, that’s a good matchup. Congrats Michigan, maybe they’ll win it all. Looking forward to next year with a more experienced team with this lump still lingering. Got Georgia week 4 next year, going to LSU, gunna be a great year.

As a Michigan fan, I'd like to give James Burnip his due. That dude made life difficult

Very admirable of Bama fans not to cope with sign stealing excuses like OSU fans (along with every other excuse in the book)

Pate trying 😂to walk it back, after trashing Michigan all year 😂pleeease

Pate, Michigan is 3 for 3 in B1G Championships

Dry heat? Wait until these SEC teams have to play in a big10 stadium come playoffs this next year! Can’t wait to see them play in snow

You picked against Michigan all year now you saying we were just the better team 😂

I guess hiring Michigan’s former LB coach weeks prior to the game didn’t help much

Really good game, lot of tears at ESPN yesterday and prolly still today…😁 I did think Blake should have been the MVP, but understand it’s usually the QB and JJ did well…🇺🇸🏈

To put things in perspective: Alabama has 30+ 5 Star Players/ Michigan, only 2) 5 Star players.. Alabama ranks #1/#2 in recruiting while Michigan is #17 (#14 in most years) Michigan's and Harbaughs development is at an elite level

Bama fan here. I think "overachieved" is the best way to put the season for us. I wasn't expecting much after Texas exposed us, but the team improved so much week after week. Beating UGA and snapping the win streak was way beyond what I expected. Playing a competitive game against the best Michigan team I've seen in my lifetime in the playoffs ain't shabby at all.

Absolutely nobody thought it’d be michigan and washington 😂😂 Go huskies!!! Two big 10 teams 🤯

Congrats to Michigan, they were the better team. I do hope we get a QB next year that can actually read a defense.

I’m in a bit of a shock with how classy most of the Bama fans have been. I’m so used to pissed off crybaby Buckeye fans complaining about how they were really the better team and Michigan just got lucky. It’s refreshing. Thanks Bama and good luck next year.

I'm Alabama born and bred. Always lived in Alabama and always will live here. No one knows how GLAD and PROUD I am that Michigan got the win. I'm one of those Auburn fans that pulls for Auburn and WHOEVER plays Alabama. All you UAT Fans can talk about 4th and 31 and I can talk about 4th and 3!!! Maybe next season you'll have some more losses and finally come back down to earth from your high horse................>

What a game. Go Blue! 〽️

How is it possible that Alabama couldn't fix the snapping issue throughout the course of a whole season?

I remember Pate saying Alabama will have an awesome OL. lol

Saban looked like coach Red from Waterboy over there on the sideline trying to coach against Harbaugh in the first half. Alabama literally has a team full of 5 star recruits compared to 2 on Michigan. Your damn right Saban was outcoached and his team was out there looking for answers.

Josh “ I knew it all along” Pate.

As a Michigan fan who was very nervous heading in to this game due to recent history, and the history of B1G vs SEC the past 8-10 years, I feel like Michigan played a "C+" game and Bama played a "B-" game. I knew Michigan came to play after Bama's first possession, and despite their myriad special teams miscues, Michigan was the better, more physical team throughout.

Josh Pate is 0 for 3 now on his picks against Michigan. Penn State Ohio State Alabama He picked those teams to beat Michigan and didn’t.

Great job Michigan Wolverines!!!!

Bama won it with special teams, Michigans Defense stole it back and saved them the game.

Did they ever think Michigans Defense was to fast and it forced the center to snap the ball low and get into stance.

Thanks, enjoyed listening to your comments.

It's really frustrating that Georgia let the Alabama game get away. I don't think Michigan, Washington or Texas would have hung with them after a month off.

Alabama lost this game in the most unbelievable way imaginable. I can not believe Saban hedged his championship hopes on a center incapable of snaping the ball.

How’s that crow taste??

That game was beautiful 😂lots of mistakes early and chaos with tough defense and running the ball mostly it was a throwback warmed my soul.

Alabama spent the 2nd half snapping the ball horribly. They held to Michigan to 44 yards on their first 4 drives but killed theirselves the entire time on offense. They eliminated Michigan’s sacks in the 2nd half. It was Alabama’s game to win.

OMG Josh these were the BEST 2 games (Michigan vs BAMA and Washington vs Texas) and finally saying BYE BYE to the 4 team playoff system. And this sign stealing CRAP OMG, Josh I played college football DB and we always watched the team sidelines playing attempting to see if if if we could pickup a running vs pass play. So people get off sign stealing CRAP. Finally my guess for Michigan vs Washington is GO BLUE 27 vs HUSKIES 24.

Damn good game...thought we had em after they didn't score off the fumble. Missed opportunity, but they went out there and took that game. Congrats!

Excellent Josh. Thanks 🎉

Sure Bama's center had issues all year, but the trio of Jenkins, Graham, and Grant up the middle severely exacerbated the issue.

It took Michigan a quarter to settle in then had a couple of unusual errors. Hasn't happened all season. It felt like only a matter of time for Michigan. Thanks for the classy Bama fans accepting defeat gracefully.

Congratulations Michigan; we're good - Roll Tide! 🌊💕🌊🏆💨🌊🏆🏆💯🏆🅰️🌊🏆🌊🏆🐘🏆🌊

GO BLUE!

Saban bet on his special teams and counted on the O with a very conservative approach. The D played well enough to win for 3.85 quarters

In dry winter LA weather With a hint of Santa Ana in January you go from a sweat in the sun to putting your jacket on in the shade

I'm disappointed but very proud of this team and yes the best team won and congrats to Michigan BAMA will be contending for another championship next season ROLL TIDE 🐘

I cried big alligator tears that I didn't get to hear Milrow say Woool Tyde after the game!! Bama is hell bound with the hammer down! Go Dawgs!

I agree with your assessment. Two good teams, each with some flaws. On that day, the better team won. Entertaining game to watch.

Great video as always 🎉 Happy New Year 🎉 Wish you and your family lots of success in 2024. I really enjoy the way you tell the truth about football as you see it. Please keep making great videos ❤.

😂 I'm a Georgia fan and an SEC fan for life, but after Ohio State vs Georgia last year and Michigan vs Alabama this year! The big ten is better right now.

Michigan looked like the better team for sure in the first half. Then in the second half Bama seemed to settle in and had the edge until very late, when it really mattered. Both teams can validly claim that if they don’t make certain mistakes, they win in regulation. But mistakes happen. I thought it was a great game between two great teams, and it, along with the Wash/Texas game, proves the committee got the playoff right. Congrats to Michigan and RTR

I watched this game, and there was a momentum shift on Alabama's last scoring drive. They were moving, they had momentum ... and then they got flagged on a 1st and 10 for a false start or illegal shift or something. Back up five yards, shouldn't be huge ... but the whole mood of the game shifted. The offense stalled. Up to that flag, Alabama was rolling for another TD to seal the game. After that flag, Michigan had the momentum. They stopped 'bama cold and forced the field goal. Then they took the game in their hands and tied it up. The muffed punt nearly undid it, but the returner did just enough to keep them alive, and they survived to go to OT. Then two runs from Corum and a PA and we were up seven. But the worst was that last 4th and goal. Two time-outs. Waiting FOREVER for the final snap, only to see Milroe go straight ahead and right into the stone wall. GO BLUE! It was glorious.

This year was a great coaching job by Saban, but having consistent top three classes and not having a center who can snap the ball has to say something as well.

No Auburn coaches were suspended from any games in 2010….If they had, would it have been an admission of guilt?

This game might be something I'll never be able to conceive to be able to fathom

Alabama Lost Michigan wins that's Al there's to it and don't worry Alabama fans we'll be back next September and Michigan y'all did excellent against Alabama 27-20 so y'all go ahead and celebrate like crazy and that game was awesome and legendary Same with Texas vs Washington and even that was fantastic as well and Michigan I'll be rooting for you guys at Texas for the championship game against Washington and who's got it better than y'all let's go blue y'all win 35-21 Michigan and Alabama fans sure it was disappointing to see but you know what we had a great year anyway even though yes we lost lets be real here guys we'll be back next year.😊

Bama was lucky to even keep it tied. Special teams gave them 11 points. Take away the muffed punt, extra point and missed FG Bama loses by 11.

Pure pain. Roll tide.

OUCH! This one hurts but the M earned it... 🤦‍♀ The '21 recruiting class is Saban's 1st class to not win a ring within 3 season... That's a 14 year streak! _Amazing_ run...

It's a testament to Nick Saban's ability to coach around his players' weaknesses to the point that Alabama gets to this point only to fail. But he's not as good of a coach as Harbaugh is anymore. Plain and simple. Nick Saban is a BRILLIANT tactician. BUT. He keeps making strategic errors in ALLOWING those weaknesses to continue to exist.

The Alabama center has had problems hitting his target in shotgun all season long. The final play of the game reflected his entire season

all 4 playoff teams were really good. Even UGA. You can take these 5 teams they could play next week and all could win, which is great to see. Last years title game was a joke with TCU. So this was a great overall selection.

The only thing I do not like as a Bama fan is people acting like we got our ass's handed to us. Clearly the game would not have been this close otherwise. Two great teams, only 1 winner, and I am still glad we got the chance to go. After the loss to Texas and the QB turmoil. I assumed we were going 10 and 2. This was an amazing job but this wasn't our year. We arent dead yet! Congrats Michigan and as always, Roll Tide Roll!

4:49 truer words were never spoken

Literally doesn’t matter if the wins are vacated. No one cares what the ncaa “officially” holds to be the W/L stats. If Michigan wins, they will hang the banner and any future judgements will not result in Michigan taking it down, nor will the Michigan fans view this year as a loss.

It was actually the last 4+ minutes of the 4th quarter where the Tide lost the game. Still having problems finishing in "certain" games.

Michigan has the best offensive and defensive lines in the ncaa this year. That is why they are champs.

I think overall that the Michigan line play was better than Alabama. As far as snapping issues, would QB getting under center help?

Missing a 49 yard field goal is not a mistake, considering about half the attempts at that distance fail.

Michigan grades: Defense A Offense B Special Teams D Over all C (2.66)

I think the issues with the snap became more of a problem because of the pressure the lineman were under. Most often when a center is having issues snapping the ball it is because they are so concerned with trying to block someone who is kicking their butt.

Wonder what firm Ohio State is gonna hire next to investigate Michigan?😂

It was all gravy/icing for us. We were a joke the first 4 games. We came so far so fast. Proud to win the SEC. See ya next year. Roll Tide!

Two best teams were in it. Couldn’t have been a better game.

This guy is such a SEC homer. His logo looks like the SEC logo.

Jalen Milroe is a wonderful RB. Been saying that all season.

I think improving the sound system and wifi would help the Rose 🌹 Bowl. The ads in CF are intolerable.

Bama fans were super classy before, during, and after the game. I’m used to to obnoxious OSU fans so wanted to acknowledge the difference.

I hate that Bama reverted to week 2 and still came that close, but this team just didn't have what it takes against a solid squad with experience and discipline.

Bama fans graceful. Ohio State fans supportive. MSU fans quiet. WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US?

I also didn't see the mauling at the LOS that everyone else is saying. Michigan had to blitz 6 to get pressure. Bama just couldn't hit a hot read for their life. They also managed to run for over 5.8 when you take out sack yardage/bad snap losses. UM couldn't run the ball outside of the OT run.

Blake Corum is not human.

Josh, thanks for your measured take on this game. As a Michigan fan for the past 45 years, I’ve had my heart ripped out by this team multiple times. I try to be objective watching the games, and always respect the opposing players and coaching staff. Honestly, it’s a challenge to respect some fans who for whatever reason like to predict scores and blowouts. In order to make it to the playoffs, these players, prepare and execute game plans that the staffs put together. That is the beauty of football; the daily preparation by players and coaches that lead to a play-by-play execution, while coping with the unexpected. I love this game.

You left out that the Bama Center look like he hadn’t snap the ball ever in his life…

The GOAT is not going anywhere. Can't wait for 4-6 SEC teams in the playoff next year. LOL & ROLL TIDE!

Alabama embarrassed the SEC by losing to the big10, Rollover Tide new name for Alabama.

How did you pronounce that city you mentioned that is in Arizona?

I want Washington to win because they have the most impressive resume this year and Penix is a stud but if Michigan wins i won't be mad, two really good squads, should be a good game. Roll Tide Roll

I took a lot of heat for who the pressure was on in this game. Milroy pressed the whole game. Saban didn't know what to do when he didn't have a massive talent advantage. Harbaugh is clearly the better Xs & Os coach versus 15-17 Saban. Pressure was on Saban going into the game and will be next year with new SEC, B1G, and playoff with no recent Nattys.

Bama doesn't need to find another QB. Milroe is a fantastic player and can be a Heisman winner. Bama needs to retool the Oline weather it's by moving guys around or changing the line coach, but something MUST change. These guys were exactly, like you said, average to poor this year. Fix that and work like heck on Milroes mid range game and decision making on the RPO and Bama is a force again.

Alabama ran into Big Ten Defense. It is easy to look good when Georgia is the toughest defense you see. Half the Big Ten defenses would shut Alabama down. The Big Ten gets bleeped on for low offensive production compared to the SEC, but low offensive production is inevitable when you are playing against Big Ten defenses. Even when Big Ten teams get a break from the Big Ten, Notre Dame is waiting for them. The game is different up north and folks seem to have trouble understanding what would happen if Big Ten teams started regularly playing SEC teams. The Championship game is just going to be Michigan showing Washington what half their normal offensive production looks like, a preview of what the normal day-to-day will be come next fall when they start playing Big Ten teams.

This game was lost when Saban chose Milroe in week 4
