The third-ranked Spartans and No. 2 Crimson Tide will ring in the new year Thursday night in a game that will determine which team plays for the national championship.

Also on high alert was Jakarta, Indonesia, where police uncovered plans for a terror attack on the capital during the festivities. Fireworks also will be on display in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the country of seven emirates.

Alabama has arguably the best running back and offensive line in the country. Coker eclipsed 250 yards passing just once this season while Cook went over 300 four times.

That kind of talent makes Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide perennial national championship contenders. If the sophomore keeps progressing, one more season with the Crimson Tide should be enough to make him a first-round National Football League draft pick.

Added defensive lineman Jarran Reed: “I don’t think we’re about to let anybody drag us into the end zone”. “And I think the world should recognize what a great job he’s done”. “We’ve done everything together, played on all the same teams together, and been on this journey together”. We’re a physical defense.

We’ll see about that.

And they might see Gerald Holmes instead. Head coach Mark Dantonio often is the one acting as the manager, signaling to Warner who he wants out of the bullpen.

The best part of the video has to be Connor Cook raising his hand at the end, asking if the knowledge these kids just dropped would be on the test. I wonder if his appearance in the rap will discredit everything he’s done over his career such as winning two Big Ten titles, a Rose Bowl, a Cotton Bowl and 34 games. Junior Delton Williams is an occasional fourth option, and there’s no set pattern.

“We were coming off probation and we were short scholarships, ” Saban said.

The Wolverines held the Spartans to a season-low 58 yards on 33 carries in the teams’ October 17 meeting in Ann Arbor.

The Spartans back a stout defensive line with active linebackers who play fundamentally sound and love to attack the line of scrimmage. It helped the Buckeyes that they were facing celebrated Heisman victor Marcus Mariota from OR in the ultimate game.

“He’ll be better for the experience when he goes to his opportunity”, the Cowboys coach said.

“I thought I killed my coach”, Lawson said.

Many others did after the touchdown against Iowa.

This week in North Texas, Tide players have insisted they are a more focused and determined group than the team that rolled into New Orleans as a big favorite against last year’s Big Ten champions. Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell’s only other scholarship offer out of high school was from Bowling Green, while Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins had Western Michigan. “I honestly feel my growth was better being in a large program, being around coach Saban and learning how to manage a lot of the tough situations you deal with in the media”. “I just like his work ethic”. Alabama is looking to snap a two-game bowl losing streak after falling in the Sugar Bowl in back-to-back seasons. (Scott was ranked No. 6).

At Monday’s Spartan offensive press conference, London chalked the disparity up to a difference in philosophies, at least for this season.

Henry grew stronger as the season progressed, rushing for 189 yards or more in five of the last seven games. For Michigan State to pull the upset – doesn’t it always seem as if the Spartans are trying to pull an upset? – it will be on Allen and his crew to win a fight in which they will be significantly outnumbered.
