What could be more fitting for a bowl with a history that includes legendary players like Jim Brown, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman and Joe Montana? No team in the country is playing better than ‘Bama is at the end of the season. Here’s how to watch Alabama and Michigan State do battle online.

There is no reason to resign: United coach van Gaal
He said: “I think performances throughout the season have quite simply not been good enough, especially the past four or five weeks”.
This game is about power vs. power, strength vs. strength.

The four-times-a-week flight from both sides takes over 13 hours to reach its destination. The Air Canada flight departed Toronto Pearson International Airport at noon, Wednesday.
Alabama: Many counted the Crimson Tide out after an early season loss to Ole Miss, but Alabama responded in dominating fashion to clinch the No. 2 seed in the College Football Playoff. Each did so with a heavy dose of defense and a heaping helping of running between the tackles.

Their final three games featured the three least efficient performances of the season. “Look at what he has done”, McElwain said. The win over Georgia was ugly, but UF still amassed 258 rushing yards – its second-highest total in the history of the rivalry.
A couple months before Alabama landed Saban, Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis was searching for a new head coach, with the Spartans coming off three straight losing seasons and firmly relegated to the second division in the Big Ten.
Hear the words of Saban upon UA’s arrival last weekend: “I think everybody has to have the mindset that it’s going to make a complete game and it’s going to be a tough game”.
“So we’re going to see how far we’ve grown”. I think regardless of him not having perhaps as many resources and advantages, he still controls his program.
“He’s truly a mentor of mine”, Dantonio said. “No matter who we’re facing, if we are the underdog, if we are the favorite, no matter what, we go into each and every game trying to prove something”.
However, it didn’t stop the former Michigan State coach from, once again, heaping praise on the current Michigan State coach. Neither ranks in the top 25 in any offensive category save one: time of possession, where both are ranked in the top 10. Since 2010, Alabama and Michigan State have the top two statistical defenses in the FBS.
“This will be a great opportunity but a great challenge for us as a program”, he said. He certainly has the right kind of personal character and integrity to have the kind of leadership that I think is necessary to sustain a program with some kind of consistency and success because of the values and culture that you create.
Those things, however, are mostly cosmetic.
Coach Nick Saban said in a statement released by the school Wednesday that an internal decision was made to send Brown home.
“Le’Veon Bell or Darqueze Dennard, a lot of people didn’t want them but our coaches saw something”, Conklin said, referring to two National Football League players.
Dantonio was loose, cracking a few jokes, while Saban was a bit more business-like. If you would like to discuss another topic, look for a relevant article. The last matchup between the Crimson Tide and the Spartans have been referenced frequently, when Alabama won by 42 points in the Capitol One Bowl.

In the last five years, Michigan State has never had a recruiting class ranked better than 22nd in the nation, according to the composite rankings compiled by 247 Sports. To beat Alabama, you need to slow down Heisman Trophy victor Derrick Henry and force QB Jake Coker to make plays down field. “You go to the other side, their system on defense is very sound and solid and the players have a great understanding of it and do a great job of executing it”. “My heart wants to take the whole team, the secretaries and everybody else with us, because it would be an incredible experience”.
