The Alabama Crimson Tide Put Clemson on Notice After Embarrassing MSU

The Crimson Tide have nine non-offensive touchdowns this season after collecting just one a year ago, yet another difference in how this season’s team is going about its business. The Tigers took care of Oklahoma 37-17 in the earlier semifinal Thursday.

And ultimately, Alabama will get a chance for another national title. “Coach Kiffin did a great job”.

Alabama will play Clemson in the national championship game on January 11th. It burned Alabama so badly to be beaten in the College Football Playoff semifinals previous year that the Crimson Tide was determined to handle its business differently this time around.

Two plays after Michigan State’s best play of the first half, a 26-yard completion to Macgarrett Kings Jr., Cook threw an interception to Jones on a ball intended for All-Big Ten receiver Aaron Burbridge, who caught five passes for 39 yards, his fourth-lowest output of the season. Later they tacked on a field goal to take a 10-0 lead into halftime. It’s on us to go out there and get open. That’s child’s play compared with the previous two games, in which he carried the ball 46 and 44 times. After picking himself off the turf, Spartans quarterback Connor Cook was caught on camera saying of Alabama’s pass rush, “They’re everywhere”. He finished with 75 yards but did score two touchdowns.

“This is the first time in a while we’ve had this happen to us”, Dantonio said. The Heisman finalist also ran for 145 yards on 24 carries, scoring the Tigers’ first touchdown on a 5-yard run.

ALA-Ridley 50 yard pass from Coker (A. Griffith kick), 2:20. The Spartans has seemingly dared Coker to beat them with his arm – and so far he has.

Tweet of the game: As Alabama squeezed the life out of Michigan State’s offense and title hopes in the first half, one fan stood out as a kind of anthropomorphic representation of the Tide defense. He had one passing touchdown and one rushing.

“When they scored on the opening drive, that was the turning point”, he said. He said his sore shoulder was fully healed and that he doesn’t need offseason surgery. Alabama had 212 total yards to MSU’s 124.

No. 2 Alabama 38, No. 3 Michigan State 0.

“It can only do great wonders for our state, our school and football team”, Ford said.

Coker completed four passes of more than 25 yards – all of them from midway through the second quarter, after the Spartans defense had been softened by a series of short screens to receivers on the perimeters, to the end of the third, when the victory was in hand.

Michigan State punter Jake Hartbarger narrowed in on his angle with Alabama’s Cyrus Jones, hoping to force him onto the white boundary and end his streak to the end zone. Cook and the Spartans drove down the field in just over a minute to Alabama’s 12 yard line, but an interception by Cook ended the threat.

Robinson said the Tide were preparing for a 15-round fight between two physical team.

Linebacker Reggie Ragland led Alabama with seven tackles while linebacker Dillon Lee had six stops and intercepted a pass. Linebacker Ryan Anderson had four tackles, including a sack and two tackles for losses.

Henry, the second Alabama player to ever win the Heisman, wasn’t flashy in his first performance after celebrating in New York City.

Derrick Henry scores a touchdown. Both teams had plenty of familiarity with AT&T Stadium. Maybe the analysts are right and Alabama wins another National Championship, but I tend to believe they will be wrong yet again when it’s all said and done.
