Six of his seven sacks came in the last four games of the season with three coming against Auburn. He also posted career highs with 10 tackles and two forced fumbles in the 28-27 loss.
His aggressive play carried over to Jan. 1.
Two of Upshaw’s five tackles in the Capital One Bowl demolition of Michigan State were sacks that led to an MVP honor. He blindsided Spartan quarterback Kirk Cousins on both sacks. The first forced a fumble and set the tone for the long day Michigan State passers faced.
“Courtney’s doing a good job. He’s worked hard and had a good summer,” coach Nick Saban said. “I think he’s very, very confident and certainly executes with a lot more consistency. I think he was healthy in the bowl game and played very, very well. We like the way he’s trying to help some of the other players and his leadership, and he should be a very productive player for us this year.”
