They never mentioned it before the game, but Alabama players said they heard and spoke quietly among themselves about the “talk” Michigan State did before the game.
What that talk was isn’t exactly known — you never know how or what players will use to motivate themselves — but UA players were quick to point it out after the game and didn’t shy away from saying that “talk” stopped during the game.
“Of course other teams talk, but that’s not how we do things at Alabama. We let our play do the talking,” said sophomore left tackle Cam Robinson.
