Nebraska caps losing season with 37-29 bowl win over UCLA
Rosen squared his shoulders and hurled the ball, just as he was crushed by Rose-Ivey. “I thought it was a good football play.”… UCLA should be playing a better opponent, but in the 40+ bowl system, they face a Nebraska team that has won just five games .
For the second time in many seasons, the Big Ten Conference Champion and SEC Champion are featured against each other in the College Football Playoff. We know he’s a good quarterback.
After best run performance in 6 years, Titans face Jets’ D
After finally showing flashes of brilliance last week for the Titans, Dorial Green-Beckham is going to put up another big week. The feeling is mutual for coach Todd Bowles , who recently told the Daily News that he “definitely” would be in favor of that.
“I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ And they said there was a tornado in that area”.

Harris, who only joined the team on Tuesday, had 11 carries for 73 yards, including a long of 25 yards. The 49ers, 4-10 this season, have a banged up backfield. “It’s a game of inches and we fell short”.
Calhoun said the Alabama offense does its job well and Henry creates on his own too. Michigan State needs him to prove mortal just once. “And then I think he could have kept going”. We want to play against the best. I think everybody kind of gets woken up to know that they have to make big plays on the Heisman Trophy victor. In receiving, Calvin Ridley had 102 yards in eight catches while Ardarius Stewart added 64 yards and one touchdown in four catches.
Swinney’s message to his team: “Just continue to be who we are”.
“Yeah, this is where we wanted to be”, Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland said Saturday. “What’s a 2-yard gain for some backs in the country is a 4-5 yard gain for him because he’s so big and he’s always falling forward”.
Alabma running back Derrick Henry answers questions during a news conference for the NCAA Cotton Bowl college football game against Michigan State, Sunday, Dec. 27, 2015, in Dallas.
Thirteen teams have squared off with Alabama and Derrick Henry this season. In some ways, the names of Henry and McDowell are nearly interchangeable.
“No comment”, said Heath when asked if he wanted to hit Henry. He trusted me, and I played corner the rest of the way. He turns it on when he wants to turn it.
“I think he’s doing great”, Dantonio said.
Said linebacker Riley Bullough, a smidge shorter and 12 pounders lighter than the Crimson Tide’s lead horse: “He’s a big guy that can move”. They think you’re going to fall off. But we don’t listen to any of that.
Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban says there were some hard circumstances with the weather.
But they regrouped with 10 straight wins, including 29-15 over Florida in the SEC Championship.
A number of Alabama players were delayed getting back to campus Friday and were cognizant that they could have experienced something much worse. “It’s all about paying attention and preparing the right way and that’s what we’re going to do”. So we’ll do what we need to do to get ready to play. We fill with about all 11 people on a run play, so it won’t be one person having to make a tackle. And I’m one of those people, so I love that.
“We’ve gone into a few games this year with this blood-bath mentality”. “That Colin Cowherd dude, saying we’re old Big Ten, slow defense, 250 pounds and we can’t move”.
Monday will begin with defensive coordinator Kirby Smart and five members of the defense meeting with the media in the morning before the team returns to AT&T Stadium for a third full practice in Texas.
“You know this watching film, he’s definitely a stiff-arm runner”, Tressel said.
And when Henry gets into space, those long arms help keep defenders at bay. With a guy that big you talk about taking out his legs, but sometimes he doesn’t let you get in there. “When you don’t have distractions off the field, great things happen on the field”. “So he does a good job of stiff-arming, staying on his feet and then making it pop for big yardage”. We got to where we needed to go safely, so we were appreciative of that.
“He runs high, he follows his blockers”, Reschke said.

“You’ve just got to deliver the first blow”, he said.
