He was able to walk over to the sidelines before being carted off of the field.

Mississippi State Bulldogs freshman safety Jamal Peters will honor his fallen teammate by wearing his jersey during Saturday’s game against the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide.
Follow the road to the 2015 College Football Playoff at The Football Four, our home to rate and debate the nation’s best.
Stanford could maybe squeeze into the playoffs with a lot of help and upsets – and of course a win over Notre Dame, the only team more overrated than Stanford. Prescott has 25 scores (18 passing) and just one interception in 2015.
Alabama coach Nick Saban is working to prevent a letdown. We dropped about four and five balls on a few of those plays. “It just lets us know our offense is moving in rhythm and we’re doing what we’re trying to do”. If you were to take those runs out of the picture, Henry only amassed 65 yards. The punt-return TD was the first of Jones’ career and Alabama’s first since Christion Jones versus Tennessee Chattanooga in November 2013 (75 yards).
After both squads failed to score in the first quarter, Cyrus Jones opened up the scoring with a 69-yard punt return. Henry then got into the mix by breaking a 74-yard touchdown that seemed to suck all of the energy out of the stadium.
Ridley leads the Tide with 68 yards on three receptions, though obviously most of those came on this one play.
Mississippi State controlled the first quarter-plus.
Kamara, a junior college transfer who originally signed with Alabama, finished with 127 yards on 15 carries. “They have good vertical passing game so when they play fake they can throw the ball deep”. “We did most of it with four guys rushing”. The quarterback has been flying under the radar for much of this season, but he is a real threat while playmakers like De’Runnya Wilson have been thriving at the right time. For a majority of the snaps, Mississippi State played as Alabama’s equal.
Mississippi State will face Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Stanley “Boom” Williams rushed for 115 yards on 13 carries for the Wildcats (4-6, 2-5).
Henry topped 125 against all six and notched 200 against three of them. He now has 1,458 rushing yards on the season (fourth-best in school history) and 19 touchdowns (second in school history). It’s safe to say Prescott will not win it. LSU’s Leonard Fournette’s grip on it turned slippery last week.
Those are Heisman-type numbers.
Alabama gained 199 of its 379 yards on the three touchdowns.
“That’s the kind of back that he is”. He’s faster than people think, and he’s faster than he looks.
Saban demands excellence, which was displayed when he nitpicked his team’s flaws despite having just won by a 31-6 margin, improving to 9-1 overall.
Ridley caught a short pass during the second quarter on a third-and-5.
Can anyone keep Derrick Henry from winning the Heisman Trophy?
The sixth sack of the night, which occurred in the second quarter, tied the most allowed by a Mullen-coached team.

That said, Mississippi State did a good job turning interior pressure into production against the pocket – also using it to force a turnover. Everybody’s got an opinion on the Crim$on Tide, and motivated by contempt or adoration, every single one of them fires up every possible viewing platform to watch.
