Just before the University of Michigan's remarkable victory at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, most Wolverine players gathered, took a knee, and offered a collective prayer. It wasn't just a pre-win ritual, though. Following their triumph, standout linebacker Junior Colson made it clear that, in his view, the victory was "all glory to God."
From Western Journal:
Wolverines starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy sat to Colson’s right at the press conference.
When Colson praised God, McCarthy bowed his head for a moment and pointed heavenward in acknowledgement.
Sports Spectrum, a sports and faith account with more than 41,000 followers on the social media platform X, posted the pregame prayer photo.
“Always give thanks, Michigan pregame on-field prayer before today’s CFB playoff matchup against Alabama,” Sports Spectrum tweeted.
The top-ranked and undefeated Wolverines (14-0) needed all the belief they could muster to get past the 4th-seeded Crimson Tide.
