Alabama vs.Mississippi State
Alabama linebacker John Sullins declared before the game that the Bulldogs would not score on the Tide. His prediction proved to be true as Bama shutout State 22-0. In the first, Bama scored on a 2 yard Robert Jones touchdown run and on a 25 yard Philip Doyle field goal. Doyle would then hit a pair of field goals (45 and 40 yards) before Jones would visit the end zone again on a 1 yard plunge in the fourth. The 1990 squad finished with a record of 7-5 and with an appearance in the Fiesta Bowl in head coach Gene Stallings first season at the Capstone.
