I think Saban's going to make a statement and not lose again against the B1G. I so don't want it to happen, but Cook isn't a great QB -- he's been off key all season. Capable of making great passes, but just as capable as making bad ones. Basically what I'd expect from a Sophomore QB during a rebuilding season on offense. And MSU's secondary isn't elite. Their run DB is amazingly terrific, though.

Hopefully MSU can make it close.

Michigan State plays up to tough competition but plays down to inferior competition and that was evident this year as you say with some of the play of Cook.

That being said, expect Cook to be on point tonight. Michigan State is primed and well trained on how to play in big time games. Look at all of the big time games they have had this year.

Oregon, Michigan, Ohio State and Iowa were all huge wins that they had to play tough all game long in order to be in the position to win. Michigan State is properly trained for this game against Alabama.


This game isn't so much a Statement for The Big Ten. As has already been said, winning back to back Championships absolutely would be as it would be for any conference but especially The Big Ten considering how it wasn't long ago when everyone was throwing poo at The Big Ten.

What this game is though is a major statement game for MSU that they aren't a little brother of The Big Ten but they are right there at the top and need to be considered in that spot at the beginning of the season and not just at the end of the season.

I cant wait to watch this game tonight. I know more people are probably more interested in what kind of game could unfold between Clemson and Oklahoma but this Alabama vs Michigan State could be one for the Ages.

Ha ha. Wow.

One for the ages all right...biggest beat down of the cfp so far

Yeah, they deserve to be embarrassed after that. It wasn't just play calling. They got beat down physically and mentally in that game.
