Alabama made light work of Cincinnati in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl, to the tune of a 27-6 victory at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Nick Saban is in the national championship game of the College Football Playoff for the sixth time since 2014. The Crimson Tide will face Georgia for supremacy, but some fans wonder why Alabama did not do more against the Bearcats?
On offense, the Tide had a basic game plan. Coach Saban established a different tempo on the first drive. Alabama pounded Cincinnati’s defensive front with Brian Robinson for ten plays. He carried wimpy tacklers, put moves on players, and ran over athletes.
