Michigan’s Roman Wilson makes promise after ‘best feeling in life’ win over Alabama
Michigan wide receiver Roman Wilson is making a promise to himself after helping his team win the Rose Bowl.
Michigan football wide receiver Roman Wilson said scoring a huge touchdown and defeating Alabama in the Rose Bowl was the best he’s ever felt. But the Wolverine is making a promise to himself after Michigan put itself in the national championship.
“This is the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life,” Wilson said, per The Athletic. “Now I’m going to one-up it.”
Wilson finished the Rose Bowl on Monday with four catches for 73 yards and a touchdown. That touchdown came at an absolutely critical time, as the Wolverines’ wide receiver made the grab that helped the team tie the game and force overtime. Blake Corum went on to score in the extra period, and the Michigan defense got a huge stop that advanced the Wolverines in the College Football Playoff for the first time in three consecutive tries.
Wilson has been a key part of Michigan football’s success this season. Wilson has a career high 45 receptions this season, for 735 yards and 12 touchdowns. He leads the team in receiving yards, receptions, and receiving touchdowns.

Washington outlasted Texas in the Sugar Bowl, behind a dazzling performance from Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Penix Jr. has already fired a shot at Michigan and the national championship sets up to be one of the most entertaining matchups of recent years.

Coach Saban addressed the media following a disappointing finish. Most would consider this season a failure because Alabama did not accomplish the ultimate goal; however, the 72-year-old had a very interesting take on the outcome
“This is one of the most amazing seasons in Alabama football history, in terms of where they came from and what they were able to accomplish,” Saban said about what he told his players after the loss to Michigan. “They won the SEC Championship, and I am very proud of this group. I wish I could have done more as a coach to help them be successful, help them finish, and all we can do now is learn from the lessons that failings bring to us.”
Alabama suffered a loss to Texas early in the 2023 season, but it pressed its way to a Southeastern Conference Championship and the CFP. People doubted sophomore quarterback Jalen Milroe in the beginning, but he became the catalyst to get the Crimson Tide to the postseason. The Tide fought all year long to prove people wrong, yet it could not finish when it mattered most.
This loss will eat at Saban for a long time because a seventh national title opportunity slipped away.
