So, in that sense, Coleman is seeking to break new ground.
Even though the Crimson Tide overpowered the Bayou Bengals last Saturday, taking command of the proceedings well before 60 minutes (no, not the CBS broadcast) had run their course, Black Rock pulled in the best Saturday rating of the college football regular season. What you might privately think to be true has in fact been affirmed: People do indeed “hate-watch” a few games. Alabama has scored an average of 33 points per game while Mississippi State is averaging 35 points scored per game.
Oklahoma State (9-0): The Cowboys (#14 last week) jump with a big, big win over TCU.
Dan Mullen just drenched Alabama with compliments Wednesday.
That’s why Alabama’s Derrick Henry should be the front-runner. Prior to the Alabama game, Fournette was such an overwhelming favorite that a bettor had to invest $9 to make a $4 profit.
Following a huge victory over the LSU Tigers, the Alabama Crimson Tide are one of five college football teams on upset alert in Week 11. With the running game stifled, it was a Ridley 81-yard third quarter touchdown reception that turned the Arkansas game. This week, however, it’s the two teams that are facing Alabama and LSU – Mississippi State and Arkansas, respectively – that are at a key moment in their respective seasons.
Alabama is 8-1 on the season, 5-1 in the SEC, 4-5 against the spread and 6-3 with the under. This season could start to look a bit similar.
Alabama travels to Starkville on Saturday and will kickoff against Mississippi State at 2:30pm on WIAT42. Co-leaders Leonard Fournette and Trevone Boykin both stumbled badly.
Neither is out of the race. We can’t overreact to one loss. The answer still very well might be Fournette. Florida vs. Arkansas, Tennessee vs. Auburn and Tennessee vs. LSU have been played twice each. A letdown against Mississipi State could easily mean a loss for Alabama, effectively reversing the effects of the win against LSU.
What happened last week is not an insurmountable hurdle for either, nor should it be. Sign up for our College Football newsletters.
Actually, there’s a possibility Fournette did play well, but nobody will ever know. After all a team’s ability to win on the field is arguably the most important factor in a recruits decision.

“Mississippi State’s a team you can’t bury yet due to their quarterback play, and because I think this week sets up pretty good for them from a situational standpoint”, Edwards said. He can make plays running.
The Tigers are pursing five-stars like New Jersey defensive tackle Rashan Gary, the nation’s No. 1 overall prospect, and defensive tackle Shavar Manuel from IMG Academy in Florida (teammate Savion Smith, a five-star cornerback, is already an LSU commitment). Oklahoma (8-1) is hoping to work its way back into the playoff picture, too. First, Dak Prescott is still a risky QB. Instead, Boykin threw four. Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott, sixth in rushing at 1,244, is third.

No. 5 Notre Dame handled Pitt on the road, 42-30, while Florida struggled to survive against Vanderbilt. He has 1,207 rushing yards and 28 catches, and he’s 10th nationally in kick return average. Stanford will not likely be higher than #4 by the time the two teams play. Ohio State 31-17.
