Which is why I'm a little surprised by the spot of the game vs Sparty. Two things MSU does well is defend the run and get to the QB. Bama defends the run much better than they defend the pass. And Cook gets rid of the ball quickly. Should be an interesting matchup.

It'll probably fall on Coker, but he should be up to the test. He's gelling lately.

More interesting is how many sacks Oklahoma has given up this year. It's near the 40s in 12 games played. Against the team that leads CFB in sacks, that could spell a long night for Mayfield. More impressive is the things he has done with all that pressure though, so all credit to him. It'll be a test of tone vs. Oklahoma (if Alabama gets there), and if the defense doesn't get a few 3 and outs from Oklahoma, they're going to roll with a bunch of wideouts and leave room to run.
