Mack Wilson, UA defense using Heisman finish as motivation for Oklahoma

The buildup to the Orange Bowl is real.

Alabama linebacker Mack Wilson was live and ready for interviews on Monday, as he intends to captain the Crimson Tide’s defense to victory against Oklahoma next week. He has not had the season that he envisioned for himself; however, Wilson looks at the College Football Playoff semifinal as a chance to show he’s grown.

The junior will battle this year’s Heisman Trophy winner in Kyler Murray and someone that accounts for 51 total touchdowns. Despite him respecting Murray’s latest achievement, Wilson said everyone in Alabama’s program knows who should have won the Heisman.
