Seidel: Alabama learns from playoff loss, respects MSU

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama running back Derrick Henry sat down in front of a group of reporters, and he was in no mood to look backward.

“I really don’t want to talk about Heisman stuff,” Henry said, just four days after winning the trophy. “I want to focus on what we need to do to get ready for Michigan State.”

Alabama will play MSU in a College Football Playoff semifinal on Dec. 31. “It’s a good team, physical front, good at what they do,” Henry said. “We’ve got to get right for them.”

This is the Ohio State effect.
