I'm out, folks. Good stuff tonight. Congrats to Bama on the natty.

Fields running ability was always going to be the thing Alabama's D couldnt account for. It set up a pretty TD throw to Garrett Wilson, and OSU has a sliver of hope down 38-24.

Not sure what OSU can do differently in the second half. Offense is down two of its best players, defense is in a no-win situation. It has no one who can run with DeVonta Smith, but if it drops seven there's a lot of open space for him (and Najee Harris) to operate. I felt Alabama was the better team, wasnt certain it was this much better.

Buckeyes seem to have thrown in the towel

Yes, let's have Tuf Borland cover DeVonta Smith. That should work out
