Tide breaks the back of Bulldogs...
There may be a better football team than the University of Alabama. If so, they play in the NFL. There is no better team in the NCAA. Sorry, Ohio State and Clemson, but you can't stay on the field with the Crimson Tide. For the rest of the NCAA here is a scary thought, Alabama seems to hit its stride as a great time. I thought that Leonard Fournette was the bet running back in the SEC. That was incorrect. The top running back in the NCAA is Derrick Henry. Maybe they need to change his jersey number to #1?
On an afternoon, a perfect setting for a college football game, Alabama started slowly and then physically destroy a good Mississippi State football team. The Alabama defense destroyed the play of the best quarterback in the SEC. It was a game that Dak Prescott will remember for the rest of his life. The Tide defensive front sacked the great one nine times. That was not part of the game plan. Tide defenders were instructed to contain Prescott. His legs can change a game in a heartbeat. When Tide defensive lineman realized how easy it was to get the Prescott they did so with the happiness, only a defensive lineman can understand. Oh boy, did those guys have a great afternoon. Prescott spent more time laying on his back looking at the bright blue sky than he did his receivers. So much for a let-down after the LSU game, feared by many fans.
Alabama started slowly. Give Mississippi State some credit. The Tide was 0-5 in first down conversions. The Bullies had taken the ball to the Tide two-yard line. From there, Prescott had two shots at the end-zone. Dan Mullen declined to kick a field goal, and when Alabama rocked the State quarterback on two straight runs, the drive was over. The Bama defense kept State from their best scoring opportunity all day. The tide had turned, and for the rest of the afternoon it was the Bulldog standing on their heels.
The good guys had netted on 45 yards in total offense in the first quarter. That all turned around when cornerback Cyrus Jones, who returns punts in his part time job, took a State punt back in and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown. From that point on it was all Tide. Alabama wasn't playing great offense but the defense kept the Dogs out of the endzone, and the tide led 7-0.
