The largest deficit Alabama has won a semifinal game by was in a win over Michigan State in Nick Saban is now against AP top-four opponents.
He has 16 wins against top-four opponents by at least two touchdowns. Nobody else has more than 14, period. Cincinnati 's undefeated season concluded with Alabama 's win in the Cotton Bowl. Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder finished his college career with 44 wins, the third most of any FBS quarterback all-time.
All in all, it was still a remarkable season -- check that, back-to-back seasons -- for Cincinnati, and a heck of a career for Desmond Ridder and those seniors, who went and made history for their school and for all G5s. The only team to appear in seven of the eight playoffs, Alabama continues its dominance with a win over Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl. The Tide has reached the national title game now in six of those seven seasons in the Playoff as it will face the winner of Georgia vs. Michigan on Jan.
Bearcats historic, dream season comes to a deflating conclusion in the College Football Playoff semifinal. Turns out, Bama is still Bama. Doesn't take anything away from what Cincinnati accomplished this season. Crimson Tide were just too good. A modest day by his standards with passing yards and 3 touchdowns, but Alabama QB Bryce Young still broke single-season school records for yards and touchdowns today:.
Young has now thrown for 4, yards and 46 touchdowns this season, topping the 4, yards by Mac Jones in and 43 touchdowns by Tua Tagovailoa in With under 10 minute remaining, Cincinnati has just six points against Alabama in the Cotton Bowl.
The last time an Alabama opponent failed to score an offensive touchdown was on Nov. On the other hand, the last time Alabama was held to no offensive touchdowns was 10 years ago in a loss to LSU on Nov. Alabama running has rushed for yards on his own, compared to the Bearcats' total Alabama RB Brian Robinson is the first Nick Saban-coached player to rush for plus yards in a bowl game any school.
No stranger to the College Football Playoff, No. Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young has thrown for yards and three touchdowns. Cameron Latu brings in the touchdown pass from the Heisman winner to finish off the Tide's yard, nine-play drive. A former defensive end, Latu did not have a career reception prior to this season. The linebacker sacks Cincinnati's Desmond Ridder to give the Tide their fourth of the night.
Saban's defense has recorded sacks yards tonight compared to the Bearcats' -8 in its mission to shut down the Cincinnati offense. Desmond Ridder is not getting it done on third down today. He has just three passing yards on third downs so far, completing 3-of-7 attempts with two sacks and just one conversion.
Bearcats safety Bryan Cook hauls in a Bryce Young overthrow. He didn't allow a hit until Eddie Rosario's bloop single to start the fifth. Burnes struck out a pair in his final inning, but Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell opted to pinch-hit for him in the home half of the sixth. Pinch-hitter Dan Vogelbach worked a walk -- Morton's first of the game.
Across the way, Morton was similarly effective and even more dominant, at least until Tellez's game-changing home run. Flashing full command of his hammer breaking ball and showing some of his strongest velocity of , Morton struck out nine and walked only one in six innings of work.
He allowed two earned on three hits. Braves outfielder Joc Pederson halved the Milwaukee lead in the eighth with a pinch-hit, opposite-field solo homer off Adrian Houser, who was working his second frame in relief of Burnes.
Then, however, lockdown closer Josh Hader closed the game down in the ninth after a leadoff walk and a single to Austin Riley. The Astros now possess a lead with the series heading to Chicago on Sunday. The two sides traded leads over the first five innings. The White Sox jumped ahead in the first when Luis Robert scored on a fielder's choice to make it Houston first tied the game in the second inning on a Kyle Tucker single, then took the lead later in that frame on a Chas McCormick sacrifice fly.
The White Sox would push three across the plate to take a lead in the fifth, yet once again the Astros roared back and tied the game up at on a Yuli Gurriel single.
Neither starter, Lucas Giolito nor Framber Valdez, completed as many as five innings, meaning the game was ultimately left in the hands of the relief corps. The Astros' rose to the occasion; the White Sox's did not. Chicago also had to use five relievers, but rather than a clean sheet, both Aaron Bummer and Craig Kimbrel ended up with some crooked numbers.
Indeed, Bummer and Kimbrel surrendered five runs on five hits in one total inning of work. Bummer, for his part, allowed three singles that permitted the Astros to take a lead. Kimbrel then entered and gave up a double to Carlos Correa to make it , and then a two-run shot to Kyle Tucker to put the game well out of reach.
As we noted elsewhere , for as loaded as the White Sox's bullpen appears on paper, they had a tendency to melt down during the regular season. They did so again on Friday -- and notably without using Michael Kopech. When manager Tony La Russa was asked about Kopech's absence, he provided the following uninspiring answer:.
Tony La Russa on Michael Kopech: "If we had needed him to win the game today we would have pitched him. Down in the series, history is not on Chicago's side. The White Sox will now need three consecutive wins to stave off elimination in the Division Series.
According to MLB. Just three of those teams came back to win the series. Conversely, 19 of those teams were swept in three games.. We'll see if the White Sox can prove to be the exception come Sunday afternoon. Gotta love a 4GameFriday!
