Michigan is set to take on Alabama in the Rose Bowl at 2:10 p.m. PT on Jan. 1. Monday's Rose Bowl will feature the two winningest college football programs of all time, and the winner of the College Football Playoff Semifinal will advance to the CFP National Championship Game next Monday.
The Wolverines are as healthy as they've been all season. All-American right guard Zak Zinter will miss the game after he broke his leg in the November meeting against Ohio State.
Pregame
Freshman cornerback D.J. Waller (listed as questionable) was in street clothes pregame, and it did not appear he would be active for Monday's game.
There also seems to be a slight Michigan advantage in terms of attendance.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. PT, and the game will air on ESPN.
