2015 CFP Semifinal, Cotton Bowl, #3 Michigan State vs #2 Alabama (Highlights)

[@euclideszoto997]

That interception just before halftime psychologically destroyed Michigan State. If they had scored a touchdown at least they could have stayed competitive in the second half but instead they got steamrolled.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic2011]

Had they scored that TD it would’ve ended 38-7 or 38-10 at most. That Michigan St. team was extremely well coached (I loved their coach, Dantonio as he made Michigan St the big brother against Michigan) but their recruiting wasn’t elite… or even good. He recruited good college players don’t get me wrong, just not NFL caliber players all around. The highest class they signed that was on this team were the freshman class that ranked 23. The soph/JR/SR classes were in the 30’s. Plus they ran a NFL offense. Gotta be spread to beat Bama unless Bama’s team is riddled with injuries. I.E. ‘22 NC game. I mean they played an Iowa team that they beat last second the week prior. Back then Iowa had maybe 7 low ranked 4 stars on their teams. The win against Ohio St. was awesome tho. I can still see that kicker. Urban game plan was the dumbest thing I’d ever seen.

[@FSUOSU25]

Yea I think that interception took the life out of MSU. They make that TD I think the game may have been much closer.

[@FSUOSU25]

​@@louieo.blevinsmusic2011good post. Also, I think there are coaches out there who could take this same Michigan State team and possibly win a NC.

[@JeffHorne-n5d]

I think you're right.

[@RollTide1987]

My favorite team of the Saban era thus far.

[@greysonsciaraffa9027]

SAME

[@masterandcomandr3441]

Well this was my favorite but the 2020 Saban team is now my favorite, it was soo good. Sark really made the offense look so good with 3 Heisman candidates in the top 5.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic2011]

2020 was definitely the best cause a lot of players came back to do exactly what they did. 2009. Only two 5 stars started for Bama and they were just mean as hell on defense.

As a Michigan fan this was a great game to see. That Michigan State team was arrogant and cocky, and if it weren’t for 2 Fluke plays they wouldn’t even be here. It was great to see them get humbled

Def my favorite Alabama team. Last year for Kirby at Alabama with arguable his best defense Guys who became stars on Sundays: Calvin Ridley Derrick Henry Marlon Humphrey Landon Collins Eddie jackson Minka Fitzpatrick Jarred Allen Kenyan Drake Those are just the stars!! Reggie Ragland, oj Howard, Tim Williams, anderson, Cyrus jones jk Scott, Coker, all went on to have a decent career in NFL

Not sure why this video won't load. I've tried talking to KZbin about it, but gotten no response of course. I've never seen this happen before. Is it working for anyone?

[@thedungeondelver]

I can use an FLV download tool, which means that the data is queuing up, it's just not running on the player. I've tried it in Opera, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, IE9, and Edge. No luck.

LMAO Mich st look like pop Warner compared to Bama.. should've stayed on the bus smh

[@louieo.blevinsmusic2011]

I think it was on #56 Tim Williams who wasn’t even in on the play. Looks like he kinda checks the dude before he ran into him. I listened to Reggie Ragland on a podcast about a week ago and he talked about how Williams wasn’t the kinda dude you messed with/played pranks on/talked shit to. Kinda makes sense considering he was lighting folks up on those 3rd downs. Almost automatic.

[@bambang303378]

Playing Bama. Teams should do more old style plays. Screen passes, short routes. Kind of what Miami doing in the mid 1990s. Bama defense is just simply too fast for long passes and too strong for inside run plays.

[@christophershannon8734]

No. You beat Alabama by skill, talent and spread offense. Lining up brute vs. brute vs. Alabama is never going to work. Too big and strong.

[@thedungeondelver]

Okay, so...this video is somehow broken, as are a couple of others. I don't know if it's corrupted on KZbin's side, but it will not play. Not for me, not for people on the other side of the country from me on their own computers using different browsers...is there something you can look in to, BR?

[@BamaRewind]

thedungeondelver Thanks for pointing this out. It won't play for me either. I checked if there's a copyright claim, but there isn't. There's nothing unusual about the video info/settings either, and I certainly haven't changed anything. I have to think it's something with KZbin. Hopefully they'll get it resolved.

[@thedungeondelver]

I've downloaded it using FLV downloader and it plays perfectly; no glitches or anything. I would _think_ that if you'd gotten flagged, they'd simply have removed the video and we'd all see a notification. The 2015 Georgia game does the same as this one, and there's at least one other. All I can think is it's on YT's side as a server problem.

[@codyg2600]

As a bama fan, that drive right before half had me scared, it looked like Michigan st was gonna have a ton of momentum heading into the half but Cyrus jones doing Cyrus jones things took alllllll that momentum away

I'll always remember Henry stiff arming Calhoun like a ragdoll even though he was 260 lb DE. This game really started the decline of MSU football and they still haven't recovered.

[@koopvice8697]

Michigan state did not deserve to be in this game

[@timhughes3973]

Wrong .. they earned it by beating an undefeated Iowa team and winning the Big 10 .. they just didn't match up well with a stacked Georgia team.

[@drumsalot76]

Hey stevemtc1, Alabama and Clemson both make it back the the title game, and it took the last offensive play of the year to stop Alabama from winning 5 in 8.And that team that beat us, on their last play if the entire season, showed you and your buckeye nation that Urban is not on Nick Saban's level. 31-0. Are you kidding me.? Talk about laying an egg. Tell me the last time an Alabama team coached by Saban played in a game with so much riding on it, and got espoused like your Buckeyes. I know you'll say against us, against Oklahoma, we'll before you do, just remember we scored 35 on you guys, and 34 or 35 against Oklahoma. We didn't even care to play in that Sugar Bowl. Bama was going for the 1st legitimate 3 peat in college football history. The kick 6 took all the fight out of Bama. And you guys I my won by 2 field goals. You went for 2 and made it to get to 42 I stead of 41. And we were up 21 to 6 after Derrick Henry had 9 carries. And guess what. Lane Kiffin lost his mind because Hendry finished the game with 13 carries. 4 more runs after his run put us up 21-6. Since then, yall have failed Miserably to live up to your own hype. Lost to Michigan State who was using a back up QB. Then we promptly beat them 38-0. And this past year, you didn't even win your conference and got exposed as frauds just like you said Michigan St was the year before, allowing the 2 by far best teams to rematch. You guys are fading, Bama is reloaded and is one well oiled "MACHINE".
