Alabama’s defense is always loaded with top prospects, and this year’s unit is no exception.
That group led the charge for the Crimson Tide in the Cotton Bowl on Friday, dominating Cincinnati in a 27-6 victory to send Bama to the national title game yet again.
The Bearcats managed just 218 yards of total offense and never found the end zone, as quarterback Desmond Ridder was under constant pressure all game long.
Alabama now awaits the winner of the Orange Bowl between Michigan and Georgia as they seek their 19th national championship in program history.
