From the Tuscaloosa news, after the game:

TAMPA - Kalen DeBoer didn't hesitate. In fact, he didn't quite even wait for the end of the question, when asked after a disappointing 19-13 loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl whether he considered pulling struggling QB Jalen Milroe out of the game.

"No, I didn't," the Alabama football coach said. "I just felt like ... there are things he still did, we scored a field goal with him using his legs – we went (90) yards in a minute (before halftime). Just that factor, and what we needed with him and what his mobility added to the run game. I felt like that was the swap right there. (He had) the interception early and a lot of those incompletions happened in down-and-distances that weren't favorable. ... I thought there were a lot of good plays he made, too."

Milroe completed 16 of 32 passes against the Wolverines for 192 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He also lost two fumbles, one on a mishandled shotgun snap and another on a strip sack, all in the first quarter.

DeBoer, however, didn't consider turning to backup Ty Simpson.

"I saw the fighter, the fight in his eyes, and as long as I see that, I'm going to hang in there with the guys this program means a lot to," DeBoer added.

Milroe, a team captain, thanked DeBoer after the game for having the confidence to stay with him despite his struggles. He is expected to enter the NFL draft rather than return to Alabama for a fifth season, but declined to confirm that after the game.

“Playoff worthy” USCe with a Heisman contending QB struggling with a mid Illinois team.

It’s almost like they were never that good and just had 6 easy games in a row that they won.

For those that think bowl games don’t matter need to check out the South Carolina - Illinois game. Teams nearly squared off midfield, including both HCs, and the crowd is juiced.

No serious person believes there are 12 teams good enough to win a title. The expansion was never for the food of the sport.

Miami shouldn’t have been in the playoff, but if Cam plays we win by double digits.
