He’ll probably play two more games in the regular season than LSU’s Leonard Fournette (LSU has 11 regular-season games) to pad the stats, and he might have to hold off Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott, who is coming off a 15th-consecutive 100-yard game for the defending national champions. The junior now has 1,458 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns. If you’re going to play in the box or helping on the outside instead of staying back in center-field than you have to take good angles when someone breaks loose so you contain the run to a 20 yard play instead of a 60 yard touchdown.

“He has a unique skill set”, Saban said of Prescott. It was the Bulldogs’ best touchdown chance of the game, and they came up short.
Mississippi State is mourning the loss of freshman defensive end Keith Joseph Jr. who was tragically killed in a one-car accident November 6 along with his father and former Bulldog player Keith Joseph Sr but his spirit and his jersey will be on the field Saturday against Alabama.
Alabama (9-1, 6-1 SEC) easily survived its last major test before the Iron Bowl in two weeks.
Said Saban: “Hopefully that will continue to be a weapon for us”. He didn’t hesitate when asked what Robinson would do if he actually got the ball.
“I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity”, Bolton said. It’s going to be hard enough for Mississippi State to move the ball against Alabama.
The offensive line gave up nine sacks, but are they fully at fault for MSU only scoring six points?
Kentucky comes into this one having laid down in front of Georgia last week, while Vandy put up yet another heartbreaking, almost-there performance against Florida before falling to a long field goal in the final minutes.
“We were rushing on that play, it was block (attempt), and it really got their coverage distorted and Cyrus made one guy miss and they all were in a bunch”. “We had a penalty and a couple mistakes. You can’t do that down there”. “Just try to get out there and make a play”. Brandon Holloway had a 19-yard rush down to the 3. Prior to the contest, the quarterback had never been sacked more than three times in a single game for his career.
“It wasn’t like that flipped momentum”, Mullen said.
I love everything that Alabama is doing this year on both sides of the football.
Ridley finished with five catches for 76 yards, while no other receiver had more than 32 yards. It gained 199 on three plays, including two Derrick Henry touchdowns from 74 and 65 yards.
When Prescott had time he executed.
Since 2008, SEC teams are 21-26 the week after playing Alabama.
“This week’s game will be tough”, Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen said. Our quarterback got sacked nine times.

UPSET WATCH: Kentucky’s recent slide may help explain why it’s a three-point underdog at Vanderbilt, but the Wildcats have looked like the stronger team for most of the season. The seventh closed Mississippi State’s opening drive of the second half. Trent Richardson rushed for 1,679 yards in 2011.
