The Michigan Wolverines took down the Alabama Crimson Tide in overtime 27-20 in a wild, fun, and exciting matchup. However, after the game was all said and done, the Wolverine players weren’t done having fun and took to TikTok to troll the Tide.

Ahead of the Rose Bowl matchup between Michigan and Alabama, social media personality Druski had a little fun interviewing a passionate Crimson Tide fan. That interview led to a hilarious moment that made its way around social media. And The Wolverine players took notice. Following their victory over Alabama, some of the Michigan players got hold of that video and remade it in a hysterical fashion.

In the video below, you can check out the Wolverine players celebrating their College Football Playoff semifinal victory in the locker room while trolling Alabama fans with their mock-up of the original video.

Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy postgame comments on Rose Bowl win

In their third straight trip to the College Football Playoff, the Michigan Wolverines finally won their semifinal matchup and will now play for a national championship. The Wolverines, the No. 1 seed, took down the No. 4 seed and SEC champions, the Alabama Crimson Tide, in overtime 27-20, with quarterback J.J. McCarthy playing a considerable role in the victory.

After the huge victory, ESPN’s Laura Rutledge was able to catch up to the Michigan star quarterback, but not before he completed his postgame ritual by running across the field to get a rose. And before addressing his thoughts on Michigan’s chance to win the title, McCarthy explained why getting a rose was of the utmost importance.

“This game just means so much to me, and I have superstition like how they do the Stanley Cup. I didn’t touch it all week and I was just waiting for this moment to put it in my mouth,” said McCarthy.

McCarthy played a clean and efficient game from Michigan other ways to their Rose Bowl victory. The Wolverines quarterback would complete 17-27 of his pass attempts for 221 yards and three passing touchdowns. Wolverines star running back Blake Corum also played a considerable role in the victory with 19 carries for 83 yards, one rushing touchdown, and was on the receiving end of one of McCarthy’s TD passes. His lone rushing touchdown came in overtime, giving Michigan the lead and the victory on Monday night.
