While Alabama may be a heavy favorite over Michigan State heading into the New Year's Eve national semifinal -- the Crimson Tide are currently a 10-point favorite over the Spartans -- don't try and sell that to MSU receiver Aaron Burbridge. The senior receiver believes he's found a weakness the Spartans can exploit in the Cotton Bowl. 

According to SEC Country, the Ole Miss and Ohio State film exposed Alabama's defense to some extent in Burbridge's mind. 

Burbridge did not specify which cornerback he was singling out on tape but the Tide do play two freshmen corners in Minkah Fitzpatrick and Marlon Humphrey. Alabama has the No. 16 ranked passing defense in the country and the No. 1 ranked rushing defense. 

After catching only three touchdowns in his career and never having more than 364 receiving yards in a single season, Burbridge caught 79 passes for 1,209 yards and seven touchdowns in 2015.
