Alabama vs. Mississippi State ended with the Tide coming out on top and seemingly in the driver’s seat for a trip to Atlanta in December.
On Saturday, the second-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (9-1) defeated the twentieth ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs (7-3) 31-6 on the road despite an inconsistent day in all facets of the game. The two things that were very consistent all night was Derrick Henry and the Alabama pass rush. Henry ran for his second straight 200-yard game and the defense recorded a staggering nine sacks on Dak Prescott. Alabama was also driven by huge plays scoring on plays of more than 50-yards four times in the game.
