Michigan will enter Tuesday afternoon as major underdogs to an Alabama squad that barely missed out on the College Football Playoff this season. The Crimson Tide are currently 12.5-point favorites over the Wolverines.

TAMPA, Fla. — Michigan football has been in full preparation for Alabama and the ReliaQuest Bowl for weeks, but Friday marked the first practice away from Ann Arbor for the maize and blue. What’s more, we in the media are allowed to catch a little glimpse of what the team is working on at the outset of practice.

The biggest attraction during the Wolverines’ first bowl practice in Florida was the No. 1 overall recruit from Belleville.
