Alabama's defense finished the regular-season ranked second in the entire country, and they are showing why in the first half of Thursday's Cotton Bowl against Michigan State.
The Crimson Tide held the Spartans to just 124 yards total on offense, and Cyrus Jones sealed the first-half shutout with a great leaping interception just outside Alabama's goal line.
Jones' second pick of the season insured a 10-0 Crimson Tide advantage at the break.
