I know...but MSU will be the best overall TEAM we have played all year. They have had several weeks to study our defense and find the gaps -- and there are gaps. No defense can cover everything -- we will have to make adjustments to their schemes.
I also think they are the best team we have played thus far. It's the CFP, so that's as it should be.

However, a team can study and plan and scheme all they want - it eventually comes to the issue of this: can their guys block our guys?

Didn't I see somewhere where MSU players were talking about being the ones who were going to be punching someone else in the mouth.

As this game gets closer, I'm getting a little more concerned. Should I be?

Alabama struggles mightily early but Michigan State doesn't have much success either. Coker and the offense find some ways to create some points and take a small lead into the half (13-7 type score). The 3rd quarter plays similarly to the first quarter...each defense adjusts and tighten the grip on the offenses. A big defensive play setups or creates some breathing room. Alabama gets the win but it was tighter than the scoreboard indicates.

I hadn't noticed you were a mod now! An excellent move by the TF Admin.

31-6.
I think it's something like 14-6 at halftime, but we wear them down and pull away in the third and fourth quarters. Defensively, I think that we just overwhelm them at the line of scrimmage, cutting off their running game, and putting pressure on Cook the likes of which he has not yet seen.
