Alabama vs Mississippi State 2015 Score Heats up CFP Playoff Rankings

Alabama cleared another hurdle on its path to the College Football Playoff, as the No. 2 Crimson Tide demolished No. 17 Mississippi State 31-6 behind big plays and another dominant effort by the defensive front.

Henry has scored a rushing touchdown in 15 straight games.

“That’s the kind of back that he is”. For the season, Alabama has recorded 38 sacks and that number is more than any Saban-coached Alabama team. “He outruns the angles, and that’s when you know somebody is really fast”. He has 787. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound Henry, whom CBS Sports ranks as the second-best National Football League prospect among draft-eligible running backs, has run for 1,044 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. Wilson has caught at least one touchdown pass in four consecutive games, which is the most for an MSU player since 2012. LSU’s Leonard Fournette managed just 1.6 yards per carry last week, so the passing attack is looking extra enticing for the Bulldogs.

I could be wrong, after all I did say the Dolphins were going to the playoffs.

Football life for the Crimson Tide won’t get much easier from here on out. This week, Alabama sacked Dak Prescott nine times and shut down the Mississippi State run game.

Cyrus Jones gave Alabama all the points it would need. Alabama’s goal-line stand set the tone for the rest of the game, as the talented and deep defensive front controlled the line of scrimmage against an overmatched MSU offensive line. “I wanted to make a play because that is what they have me back there for”. Ridley had two grabs for 65 yards and the score in the opening half.

He had 38 bruising carries for 210 yards and 3 touchdowns, signifying that he had arrived.

Coker completed 15-of-25 passes for 144 yards, a touchdown and an interception. “This is an outstanding team all the way around, and this is not the time for anyone to think that just because we had what a few would call a “big win” that there is any reason to think that the next game is not the most important game that we need to play”.

After seeing Florida win on Saturday, but continue to struggle on offense, is there any doubt the signature conference championship game could be as lopsided as Holly Holm’s win over Ronda Rousey this past weekend? “I’m proud for our guys and proud for Gator fans out there who didn’t think much of this season, probably”. “We’ve got a lot of things we can learn from in this game”. Drake made a tackle on kick return coverage in the second quarter and injured his arm in the process.

On Alabama’s next drive, Henry found a hole and ran untouched for a 74-yard score to put Alabama up 21-3. They key to dismantling Prescott will be to stifle the run game in order to pressure Prescott into making poor decisions. They all did a good job of pushing the pocket. I know over the last four games we have seen significant improvement from one week to the next. Junior linebacker Richie Brown had three quarterback hurries, while junior cornerback Tolando Cleveland blocked Adam Griffith’s 32-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter. Graves drilled a 39-yard field goal to cut it to 24-6 in the third. They’re also led by Dak Prescott, the type of mobile quarterback that has given Nick Saban’s defenses trouble over the years.

Alabama’s Jonathan Allen had a team-high three sacks while A’Shawn Robinson added 2 1/2 sacks and Ryan Anderson had two.
