CFP Title Game, Alabama vs tOSU, Jan 11, 8:15 ET on ESPN, Miami

Fowler mentioned something about us making teams drive the length of the field. Said something like if we dont give up 20+ yard plays we rarely give up long TD drives. I probably butchered it but it sounded good in my head

Since we've made personnel changes after IU he's correct. Couple that with Alabama doing a lot behind the LOS and I really believe the ability to stop them is there. Certainly to the level of under 28 points.

It's going to be the same thing I told my buddy before the Clemson game.

All we need is 4-5 stops and we win the game. Three in the second quarter and Clemson was toast.

That’s an interesting way to think about it and something I hadn’t considered before. If, by stops you mean possessions with zero points then I guess I can see that.

To that point, turnovers could really swing this game and I hope the ball bounces towards the good guys.

Urban Meyer has been saying "...4-5 stops..." since the playoff field was set.

I was thinking 3-4 stops, whether we're talking turnovers, punts, whatever...drives that don't end in points. I think the blueprint is mostly the same. Get a handful of stops, shut down the running game, and finish your drives with 7, not 3.

I still don't know how Proctor dropped that int.

That's probably why he's a DB, not a WR.

Only valid excuse for dropping that is if he was an amputee

I want to watch Buckeyes games with these two. This GIF always fires me up.

“You can feel sorry for yourself or you can just continue to work on and push through it,” Day said on Thursday. “The hard thing is at the end of the day most people don't really care. They just watch the game and the result is the result. But for us, that's why the story about this season is just so amazing to me, is that we just continued to push through despite all those difficult challenges along the way. And no different this week.

“We've got a new set of challenges this week. We're going to have to figure it out, go down to Miami and play.”

Next year at Bloomington, it will seek and destroy.

The state of Alabama needs all the help it can get

It has got a wheel in the ditch, and a wheel on the track.

That’s what you say. But you really want to watch games with the young woman, who earlier in the game, right after Cardale bobbled the snap on 1st and goal from the 1, shook her head while wiping both sides of her face. OK, maybe I’m projecting.

If you watch the replay I have no idea what he was doing with his right hand. Easy catch if he gets his hands in the right place
