ORLANDO, Florida - the became difficult to 60-minute game of reaching with a Nick Saban may have only dreamed with do.
Realistically, it took much less Alabama to integrate everything into a 49-7 Michigan State defeat in the Capital One Bowl. The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner mark Ingram was well rested at the moment holding postgame rolled around. Heavy replacement began in the third quarter, giving opportunity to take a consecutive season in third place with at least 10 stars WINS.
No, there was no return delivered this afternoon.
Not with this defence. And numbers - told only part of the story as Alabama, forced the Spartans to play without the second dimension that won 11 games this season.
The refusal to 48 yards by the champions co-Big Ten lost a defensive registration of Alabama by the series against Houston in 1962.
There were 11 tackles for loss, including five sacks eliminated two quarterbacks Michigan State of the game. Took it the backup receiver Keith Nichol throw fourth quarter touchdown pass the saved the Spartans be money laundering.
The maintenance of the State of Michigan (11-2) expose the secondary depleted, the first two levels of Alabama defense came through. And quarterback Kirk cousins was the target.
"I think that us they affected him really well," said game MVP Courtney Upshaw, who had two sacks and a forced fumble. "Once we had the opportunity to get a hit on it, we wanted to take it." "Once it was there, we take the hits."
On the other hand, Alabama offense was a machine broken 546 yards to 171 of the State of Michigan. Worldwide with a twist as five brokers won at least 35 yards and 10 tide players caught passes at curtain call Greg McElroy after two seasons as a starting quarterback. It was from 13-for-17 for 220 yards and one touchdown while Ingram showed flashes of his 2009 season of the Heisman Trophy.
Score touchdowns in his first four possessions, tidal (10-3) provides for a rate that does not coincide with Michigan State. The warm temperature of Florida played right into the hands of Alabama.
"I think that the heat was probably something that was beneficial for us," said Nick Saban. "It was the reason we went no-huddle." "We try to wear down your computer, and I think they affected his defensive players."
Fighting for air
From outside, Marcell Dareus was surprised to see Spartans defenders that fight to air during Unit touchdown 13-play of Alabama who opened the game.
"That distance gave some things there," said Dareus. "Why are you tired?" "It remains the first unit."
Without the benefit of an execution game, the Spartans had met a few significant units in the first half. All, however, ended in disaster.
Opening March following Alabama Michigan State make three opportunities of third directly below when Dareus and security Robert Lester had deteriorated the fourth. Forcing cousins to pump fake, Dareus pushed the Pocket passer to throw the right to Lester, who made his interception eighth of the season.
Then, after Alabama he made 14-0 in the second quarter, the Spartans leading to the Alabama 3. A penalty of substitution was followed by a sack of Upshaw and forced fumble was driven to the 38 of tidal, forcing a punt.
It was downhill from there for the team coach Mark Dantonio.
"This game is a roller coaster," she said. “… "You can be in the locker room all focused, but when I turn in the field and the beginning of things flying around and the principle of things happen, you get a kind of avalanched, and things start to roll in a little bit or whatever".
Under the command of both sides
Defending the tide was stronger in the second and third quarter, when a span of five State of Michigan netted units a negative courtyard. Each one of them ended in punts.
For as fragmented as appeared the Spartan offense was equally efficient. The second two touchdown drives had distinct themes. July Jones captured three of his passes in the second for 49 yards and Ingram took the next.
The native of Michigan played ball four times in seven-play drive and accounted for 56 70 yards, including the six late presented tide forward 21-0 and iced effectively one of the victories more unbalanced a year including rash against San Jose, the Duke and the State of Georgia.
He had 13 tries of Alabama form a complete game.
When it did, Michigan State had little to counter.
"Was the only opportunity we had left to define this team and the show we had the heart", said Saban.
