- Young’s three TD passes lead Crimson Tide over Bearcats
- Alabama will face winner of Georgia-Michigan in title game
Desmond Ridder didn’t want to take on the burden of representing all the non-Power Five schools in the CFP semifinal Cotton Bowl against top-ranked Alabama.
The breakthrough Bearcats held up pretty well despite Ridder’s offense going nowhere for long stretches Friday while the Alabama running game overwhelmed them in a 27-6 loss that ended an undefeated season.
