“I wasn’t surprised at all by the game he had tonight”, Alabama coach Nick Saban said.

No. 2 Alabama (13-1) convincingly punched its ticket to the CFP title game by dismantling No. 3 Michigan State 38-0 on New Year’s Eve in the Cotton Bowl at AT&T Stadium.
The Tide defense didn’t win the game by itself. Rinaldi was somewhat successful, but Saban stayed focused on the next task for his team.
But once the Tide took the second-half kickoff 75 yards in nine plays and stretched the lead to 17-0, the Clemson coaching staff could have broken out the video and gone to work.
That means it will be Alabama and Clemson playing for the national title on January 11th. It’s on us to go out there and get open. “It was just a matter of when”.
Clemson might have to come up with a new plan. “And the last thing I want to do is look at the downside and say, ‘Our last game as Spartans we lost.’ We want to be positive people”. And any time you have a team that could accomplish a first of that magnitude, it’s truly something special.
But he reemerged Thursday in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. But this performance showed what an incredible all-around team they have. The first, in the second quarter, set Alabama up for a one-yard touchdown on the next play to score the first points of the game.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) – With shiny orange confetti stuck to his sweat-soaked face as the celebration after the Orange Bowl rolled along, Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware knew the time was right to make a bold statement. The Tigers, however, didn’t play the part thanks to a rushing attack that racked up 332 yards on the ground and a defense that sacked Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield five times. Alabama had 212 total yards to MSU’s 124. Heisman victor Derrick Henry has certainly been Bama’s offensive MVP, but Ridley is its X-factor. Wayne Gallman rushed for 150 yards and a pair of TDs.
“No”, Drake said. “We were focusing on our game”. Heading into another game as a big favorite against the Big Ten champions, the Tide players said all week the focus was better and their attitude more serious. Michigan State gets to host those teams in 2016, and although Wisconsin returns to the schedule as a cross-divisional matchup, that game is also at home. He was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament.
Which is exactly how Alabama crushed Michigan State 38-0. So Jake (quarterback Jacob Coker) reads, ‘What’s the box? He had a career high in passing yards before the end of the third quarter.
“So we knew that we would have to throw the bubbles and the smokes and the outside perimeter stuff and try to get them blocked on the perimeter to be able to move the ball effectively”. Connor Cook lobbed two errant passes for interceptions, completing just 19 passes on 39 attempts. Derrick Henry became the first running back in Alabama and SEC history to go over 2,000 yards rushing in a season and Ridley became just the second Alabama freshman to go over 1,000 yards receiving in a season (Amari Cooper was the first in 2012). The big play was when he found O.J. Howard for a 41-yard gain down to the Spartans 24 yard line.
Coker was 24/29 for 280 yards and two touchdowns before the start of the fourth quarter.
“Any time you have a team from your league in the national championship game, it’s a great thing”, ACC Commissioner John Swofford said.
“I think that the way they play, when you catch them in certain coverage, which we had caught them before, their safeties ended up having to cover a guy in the slot”, Saban said. It’s a great opportunity for them.

“My gosh, they’ve got to print a 15th ticket to see the Tigers now”, Swinney added.
