The two teams also finished in the top 25 in total defense with Alabama ranked second and Michigan State ranked 25th.
Calhoun vs. Robinson is Michigan State vs. Alabama in a nutshell.
X-FACTOR: DT Malik McDowell – The sophomore has been a disruptive force in the middle of the Michigan State defensive line all season and will have a chance to be a difference-maker against a solid Alabama defensive line. Dantonio drew a few laughs, especially when repeatedly asked about his relationship with Saban during their time together at Michigan State from 1995-99.
Alabama defensive linemen: All 11 of them that rotate in and out of the game.
After graduating from Kent State in 1972, Saban spent two years as a graduate assistant and assistant coach at his Alma Mater, before moving on to assistant coaching roles at Syracuse, Ohio State, Navy, Michigan State, and the Houston Oilers, for no more than two seasons, with the exception of Michigan State where he spent four seasons from 1983-87. But we thought that in coming to camp and in watching him in person, he had a great deal of upside, tremendous potential. “If I had to do it over, I’d have just tried to stay in one place and establish a great program, not have all these goals and aspirations of things that eventually, you know, you weren’t happy doing”, Saban said.

“Whatever Coach Kiffin calls, you know, I’ll be happy to run”, Coker said. They may not be Derrick Henry, but they’re two of the best running backs that the Big Ten has to offer.
This matchup reminds me a lot of the SEC Championship, except Michigan State has an offense.
Saban amassed a 34-24 mark with the Spartans over five seasons, earning three bowl berths at a school that labored at the bottom of the Big Ten and posted just one above-.500 record in the four previous years before he arrived.
“I would definitely say Connor Cook is the straw that stirs it”, UA defensive coordinator Kirby Smart said. Ohio State, last year’s national champion, was supposed to emerge from the Big Ten, before Michigan State stunned the Buckeyes on November 21 in Columbus.

He said its crucial that MSU gets the ball out fast in the passing game and shows a lot of formations and motions to try to make Alabama’s defenders think and slow down. Dantonio has led this team to 11 or more wins five of the last six seasons. “I didn’t like that feeling at all”. “And, if people are going to go out there and doubt us, we’re going to go out there and prove them wrong”.
