Alabama Falls To Undefeated Indiana In Rose Bowl + How Good Is UNC's Caleb Wilson?

from The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss Alabama's loss to Indiana and UNC's star forward Caleb Wilson. Yesterday’s Rose Bowl College Football Playoff game between Alabama and Indiana was a historic one, but Alabama did not win. Instead, No. 1-seeded Indiana dominated No. 9 Alabama with a 38-3 victory, marking the Hoosiers’ first ever Rose Bowl win and sending them into the CFP semifinals. Alabama’s offense struggled, and in the second half they switched quarterbacks after starter Ty Simpson was shaken up. Indiana’s defense stifled Alabama, holding them to just 193 total yards and the win was one of the most lopsided postseason defeats in Alabama’s storied history. With the victory, Indiana advances to face Oregon in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff. Is Alabama done for? How does Reese feel? Was Ty Simpson really hurt? Caleb Wilson has been hooping at UNC this season. Wilson plays for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels and one of the most highly regarded young forwards in the country. Since arriving in Chapel Hill, he has quickly made an impact with his scoring, rebounding and defensive presence, becoming an important piece of the Tar Heels’ frontcourt as a freshman. His combination of size, athleticism, and skill has already drawn national attention and early discussion about his long-term NBA potential. Will Wilson be a better player than AJ Dybantsa and Cam Boozer?
