The Rose Bowl game between the Michigan Wolverines and the Alabama Crimson Tide continues to gain more traction as the Alabama CB issues an interesting statement.

The Michigan Wolverines will take on Alabama on January 2 at Pasadena Stadium. With only nine days left for this battle of the giants, both teams are training vigorously to try and retain the spot for the national championship. And in the newest update, this Alabama center-back snubbed JJ McCarthy and praised the running back for the Wolverines as the game continues to draw closer.

Terrion Arnold, the cornerback for the Alabama Crimson Tide, issued a statement that has left several fans scratching their heads. In a recent statement, he talked about the impressive state of the Michigan team and had nothing but praise for the team.

He said, “They run the ball really, really well. Effective with motion. They do a good job with eye candy, trying to get you to see different pictures and they change the picture and they do a very, very good job of running the ball effectively.” Moreover, he mentioned how the Michigan Wolverines are very strong with reference to Blake Corum and the team’s rushing attack. But while Arnold had a lot of appreciation for the men in maize and blue, Corum, on the other hand, called the Alabama team out and acknowledged Michigan’s superiority ahead of the Rose Bowl.

Blake Corum received high praise from Arnold, the rival player, but had stern words to say about their awaited matchup. In terms of the points table, the Michigan side stands undefeated with a score of 13-0, whereas the Crimson team has a score of 12-1. But that doesn’t make the competition any easier for Harbaugh’s team as they look to secure the top spot in the college football playoff rankings.

In response to the match against Alabama, Corum said, “They flipped it from the jump, which is it’s fine; it’s all people’s opinions. We’re going into it, like I said last time, as the top dog. We love a good challenge, but we’re still the top dog. That’s how we’re going in.” Thus, the fans of college football nationally can’t wait to witness this match, as it might very well be one of the most entertaining games we’ve ever seen this season.
