Devin Gardner had a productive quarter for Michigan. He caught a 44-yard touchdown pass, but the Wolverines have closed the gap to 34-14. Alabama expanded its lead to 34-7 thanks to a five-play, 21-yard drive that ended when Cade Foster kicked a 50-yard field goal. Michigan polished off an 86-yard drive when Denard Robinson and Gardner combined for a 44-yard touchdown to make the score 34-14. Vincent Smith's 22-yard run from the 30-yard line pushed the Wolverines into enemy territory.

T.J. Yeldon clinched a 100-yard rushing game with 43 in the quarter, part of his 110-yard day through three quarters for the Crimson Tide.

Alabama has the ball at its own 33-yard line to begin the fourth quarter.
