Hurts leads No. 1 Alabama’s 51-3 rout of Mississippi State

The Crimson Tide were their usual dominant selves in a home triumph against Mississippi State and now stand as the only unbeaten team from a power-five conference.

Alabama returns to action next Saturday, Nov. 19, at 6 p.m. CT against Southern Conference foe Chattanooga.

Like three years ago, Mississippi State’s back is against the wall if the Bulldogs hope to go bowling.

“That’s never been done before with 300 yards passing and 100 yard rushing”, Saban said. “He has a heck of a career here for us, it is a great example for the young guy that if you come here and work your tail off things are going to happen”. Kicker Adam Griffith made all three of his field goal attempts, all in the first half, from 28, 30, and 39 yards out.

No. 25 Troy is ranked for the first time in school history. Mississippi State’s senior safety understood the playmaking ability of the Alabama freshman but was still caught off guard in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Huskies defense also once again shined, holding an explosive Cal offense to its second lowest point total of the season.

On its opening drive of the game, Alabama swiftly moved the ball downfield with runs and kick passes from Hurts. This could be the best Alabama team that Nick Saban has ever coached at Alabama.

The Alabama Crimson Tide (9-0) are coming from a 10-0 win over the LSU Tigers in Week 10. It topped another Alabama game, a 31-point defeat in 2012.

“It’s been a blessing to be a part of this team and to be able to help them like I did”, he said. The Tuscaloosa team haven’t experienced the ignominy of losing since September 2015 and on current form only a courageous man would bet on them having to cope with a defeat anytime soon. They’ve also thrived as an underdog, both overall and on the road, going 12-4 at the betting window in their last 16 games as a dog and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as a road dog.

They handed Prescott’s predecessor, Nick Fitzgerald a similar beating. I’d like to think that my teammates are out there busting their butts for me. Fitzgerald’s escapability could be a factor in this game. The win over Texas A&M last week may end up being a simple fluke.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Georgia Tech backup quarterback Matthew Jordan rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Yellow Jackets past Virginia Tech. “That’s what makes our team so great”.

“He had some nice throws down the field”, Mullen said.

Auburn’s Carl Lawson (55) makes his presence felt during last weekend’s game with Vanderbilt. I think he’ll grow as a leader in this game.

“If you put yourself in that situation, you let somebody else decide what your fate is”.

Fitzgerald’s first experience in Tuscaloosa ended in the fourth quarter. But a safety and two straight touchdowns over the final 13 minutes of regulation turned a 21-21 game into a safe 37-21 Western Michigan win. The loss to Ole Miss sends them tumbling 11 spots to No. 22. Some of those guys played hard every snap, but I didn’t see a lot of heart from others. “I guess a positive?”
