ORLANDO, Fla. -- More than any other time this season, Alabama looked like the team that was picked to win the national championship in the Capital One Bowl.

Mark Ingram ran for two scores to break the school record for career touchdowns, and the Crimson Tide rolled past Michigan State 49-7 on Saturday in the most lopsided game in the history of this bowl.

The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner had 59 yards rushing against the team he rooted for as a kid, Greg McElroy threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, and Alabama (10-3) pulled most of its starters in the third quarter. Ingram moved past Shaun Alexander's mark (41) with 42 career touchdowns.

The Crimson Tide found the end zone on their first four possessions, held the Spartans (11-2) to 171 total yards and sacked Kirk Cousins four times in their most dominant performance all season.

The margin of victory topped East Texas State's 33-0 victory over Tennessee Tech in the 1953 game, then known as the Tangerine Bowl. The bowl dates back to 1947.

Cousins had 120 yards passing and one interception, and Edwin Baker was held to 14 yards rushing for a Spartans team that felt snubbed by the BCS after sharing the Big Ten title. Instead, they were trounced by a team that knows the big stage well.
