Paint Dries on Cotton Bowl Eve

WKAR

The Cotton Bowl matchup between the Michigan State Spartans and Alabama Crimson Tide is now just a day away. Mark Dantonio and Nick Saban addressed the media for the final time before kickoff this morning at the Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas, TX. Afterward, ESPN broadcasters Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler provided insight on the matchup. 

WKAR's Al Martin reports from AT&T Stadium as the field crew provides the finishing touches, adding paint to the respective endzones.
