Alabama freshman wide receiver Amari Cooper (9) avoids a tackle.MIAMI – The 2012 college football season ended just when Alabama freshman receiver
Amari Cooper was warming up.
Cooper had six catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night’s 42-14 hammering of Notre Dame in the BCS championship game. It was the third consecutive 100-yard contest for the 6-foot-1, 198-pounder from Miami, and the fifth in his last seven games.
His first 100-yard game was a 162-yarder in the 44-13 win at Tennessee, which wound up being his season high.
“I kind of wish I could keep going and see how far I could go with 100-yard games, but it’s over,” Cooper said. “I’m just ready for next year now.”
