FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) – Quarterback Matt Ryan has missed a major goal with the Atlanta Falcons out of the playoffs a third straight year.
After the Spartans lost their Big Ten basketball opener at Iowa on Tuesday night, they were told they were flying to Minnesota for a few days in advance of their next game Saturday against the Golden Gophers.
“I’m going to be back”, he vowed. The Spartans had marched to the Tide 12 in the final minute of the half before Jones leaped high to intercept a Connor Cook pass at the Tide 2-yard line in the waning seconds of the half, ending a scoring threat and protecting the Tide’s 10-0 lead heading into halftime. “I think they were scared”. (Arguably.) Where Shaq Lawson goes down in the first quarter, and you hardly notice because Austin Bryant goes in and plays well while Kevin Dodd stays in and plays lights-out.
Saban moved to 9-0 against his former assistants, and this 38-point beatdown was just as complete as Alabama’s 49-7 win in the 2011 Citrus Bowl, only on a bigger stage and more disheartening to the guys in Green.
The Spartans did a good job of bottling Henry, even as he scored two touchdowns, extending his touchdown streak to 19 games and giving him the Southeastern Conference single-season record with 25 scores. McCaffrey became the first player in Rose Bowl history to compile at least 100 yards rushing and receiving. Coker was deadly accurate, completing 25 of 30 pass attempts. Ohio State tailback Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 230 yards against the Tide last January. “You can’t avoid it”. “And I said ’15 for 15, ‘ with the message being let’s make them print 15 tickets this year, somehow, some way”.
Added Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops: “They’re not the No. 1 team in the country for no reason”. Jones said. “We work hand in hand”.
“Last year we sort of just participated in the game”, he said. It wasn’t just the offensive display; it was the defense limiting Michigan State’s run game by allowing them to run for 29 yards.
Cyrus The Playmaker Alabama cornerback/punt returner Cyrus Jones made two of the biggest plays in the game with his interception late in the first half and his second half punt return for a TD which started the second half domination.
Considering quarterback Jake Coker’s limited mobility, Robinson’s ability to contain Lawson will be critical to Alabama generating a consistent passing attack.

One of the nation’s top quarterbacks had no answer for the defense. As with the majority of the Alabama football coach’s public displays of emotion that vaguely resemble joy, it was brief and pointed and wracked with awkwardness, which was also how Saban’s brief celebratory “dance” with the Alabama marching band came across a short time later.
