The loss still stung.

West Virginia beats Arizona State 43-42 in Cactus Bowl
White caught a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter from quarterback Mike Bercovici, with each giving ASU the lead. The West Virginia Mountaineers are shooting 31.3 percent from beyond the arc and 66 percent from the free throw line.
Calvin Ridley curled inside, beat a Michigan State safety one-on-one, tilted his head backward, and extended his arms.
Seeing this made me think about what Nick Saban said Wednesday about how the playoff taking some of the zest out of bowl games and raising the standard for coaches.
“We’ve lost two years, right?” Since then, Saban has at least partially embraced the revolution: He hired disgraced USC coach Lane Kiffin as his offensive coordinator, and Kiffin has employed elements of both the spread and the hurry-up offense. Instead of pounding away at a Michigan State defense that was stacked to stop Heisman Trophy victor Derrick Henry from running wild, Alabama aired it out.
Clemson might have to come up with a new plan. The next time we did it, that’s when we hit the big play. This is almost always true, especially when Alabama faces a team shaped in the Alabama mold, a team that embraces a physical style and relies on its defense to carry it through, as with Michigan State. The freshman Ridley was brilliant, streaking by defenders on deep throws and outfighting them on jump balls.
Ridley hauled in several other key catches, connecting with Coker for a controversial – but acrobatic – 6-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and grabbing another 50-yarder that put Alabama up 31-0.
Alabama defeated Norfolk State 68-49 on Saturday, and Obasohan finished the game leading all scorers with 23 points to tie his career-high as he found a rhythm he’s appeared to lack lately. The celebration at that point was pretty tame on the Alabama sideline. But, it was the Crimson Tide’s snuffing of the run that gave them the shut out. They started this season with a 35-17 win against Wisconsin, another Big Ten team, on September 5.
“I’ve been trying to say it forever”, Alabama senior center Ryan Kelly said. One night. Two really, really good College Football teams.
After losing to Ohio State in a CFP semifinal last season, the Crimson Tide were all business in their second trip this season to AT&T Stadium.

From the decision of what time curfews would be to how they practiced, UA players weren’t in Dallas to have a good time. The players set the curfews this week.
Defense Dominates Michigan State never went into positive rushing yards until late in the third quarter and never got the rushing game going at all. Arthur Edwards added 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting from 3-point range as the Tide nailed 11 as a team.
Michigan State embraced its role as the underdog and came in expecting to slug it out with the Tide.

In fact, at this point Nick Saban’s awkward dancing after his team destroyed Michigan State may be the most dramatic moment. “So those guys, what they’re going to take with them going into next year is just the experience and knowledge of the offense and just the familiarity and comfort that they have”. “I think it was a big momentum swing”.
