Though State dominated the game from a statistical standpoint, the Tide dominated the game from a realistic standpoint. Key interceptions from Nick Perry, Cyrus Jones, and Landon Collins deflated the Bulldogs yesterday. And the D's ability to shut down State's fine running back Josh Robinson made their offense pretty predictable ~ either Prescott was throwing or running.
I hadn't seen a safety in a while, so it was fun to witness one of those in the first quarter.
As for the offense, it sustained some drives, but it wasn't clicking like it could have. Sure, Amari Cooper was out there doing Amari Cooper things, but State's D is pretty salty, especially in the red zone. The offense and Yeldon got it going in the fourth quarter to finally put the game away even though State came back in the fourth, scored a touchdown late, and didn't succeed with an onside kick.
If I'm getting this right, the SEC West breaks down this way:
- If Alabama wins against Auburn, it goes to the SEC Championship.
- If Alabama loses to Auburn and State beats Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl, State goes to the SEC Championship.
- If Alabama loses to Auburn and Ole Miss beats State in the Egg Bowl, Ole Miss goes to the SEC Championship.
The East breaks down this way:
- If Mizzou loses a game, Georgia goes the SEC Championship.
- If Mizzou wins the rest of its SEC matches (Tennessee and Arkansas), they go to the SEC Championship.
