I didn't realize how even the yardage stats were against Notre Shame. 24 first downs for each, Alabama with 64 more total yards. And Shame had 2 fumbles with 1 lost. Alabama will say they weren't trying b/c the game wasn't in doubt, but then again any time something doesn't go their way they say they weren't trying.

Just sayin':

1) They must think that Waddle will play since he is in one of the prop bets.
Jaylen Waddle "has been able to practice" a bit, Saban says, and Saban said that Waddle is "a game-time decision" and that they'll know whether or not he can play closer to kickoff.

2) They have Alabama favored by 8 1/2 and the over/under at 75 1/2. That would put the final score at (approx) Alabama 42 - Ohio State 34.

PRESSER BULLETS: RYAN DAY, NICK SABAN OFFER FINAL THOUGHTS ON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWDOWN

120361_h.jpg


RYAN DAY
  • Day calls Saban "one of the greatest coaches in the history of college football" and that the Buckeyes are excited for the "great challenge" to play Alabama.
  • He says it's "not the way we drew it up" but that they're grateful and excited for a shot to win a national championship.
  • Day called it "certainly a strange road to get here" after the path the Buckeyes took to get to the national title game.
  • Day says that Ohio State's 2017 class "will go down as one of the best groups" to ever come through the program. He said that a lot of the guys in the 2018 class have done a good job of making a push to get on the field early and that's part of what makes those players special.
  • Day: "No one ever talks about getting to the national championship, we talk about winning a national championship."
  • He said "ultimately this is the final goal, and that's what all the focus is on right now."
  • Just to get to this point could be considered a point of pride, but Day says that if you begin getting happy just to be in the game "it becomes a distraction. ... We have too good of an opponent to prepare for to be thinking about that."
  • Day said that "at the end of the time it comes down to who can execute and do their job." It's all about preparation and execution, he says.
  • Sean McDonnell was a major influence on Day as a coach and now his son is on Day's staff at Ohio State: "It's a small coaching world."
  • Day says Alabama is "well-coached" and "really talented on the back end."
  • He said "you never know how this game is gonna play out" and that Alabama "is really talented and as clean on offense as I've ever seen."
  • Day says that Justin Fields "has had a really good week of practice." He said Fields' level of preparation for the Clemson game was impressive and that Fields felt great going into that game after the week prep he put in. He says it's been a similar week of preparation for the national championship game.
  • Day has been impressed with Najee Harris: "He's a complete player. Very versatile. Maybe the most versatile guy we've seen all year."
  • Day says Ohio State adjusts their schemes to the players' skillsets that they bring into the program: "The art of coaching college football is adjusting your scheme to utilize the personnel you have in that moment."

Something tells me the coming decade will see the scarlet and grey in this game many more times... but gotta strike when the iron’s hot, nothing’s guaranteed!

Yeah, and prior to that there was an agonizing 34 year drought of National Championships from the 1968 season until the 2002 season. You definitely have to appreciate/cherish how the Buckeyes have been doing under the Tressel, Meyer, and Day head coaching years, etc.

Urban Meyer Reveals How He’d Defend Alabama’s Offense

During a Big Ten Network segment on Sunday afternoon, Meyer went through his thought process on the tough task ahead for the Buckeyes’ defense.

“I would not leave our corners on an island. I would really coach this game back-to-front,” Meyer said. “What does that mean? I would not let those receivers get behind us.”



Meyer’s proposed strategy revolves around the limitation of home-run plays for the Crimson Tide offense — especially involving Heisman finalists Mac Jones and Devonta Smith. While covering the deep ball may limit some chunk yardage through the air, it certainly opens up opportunities in the Bama running game.

Urban Meyer acknowledged this as well.

“Does that mean Najee Harris is going to get some yards? Yes,” Meyer said. “And I would build that fence a say ‘you can’t have a big hit.'”

Which is what we did vs Clemson. Allow them space and once in the redzone where the vertical threat isn't strong you go after them.

"The next big football game that will be in 4K will be tomorrow night’s college football championship game between Alabama and Ohio State. ESPN will produce the event so that means it will be ‘native 4K’ rather than upscaled 4K. Native 4K is when the game is produced in 4K at the site and transmitted to the home in 4K as well. Videophiles say native 4K delivers a far better picture than upscaled 4K so 4K owners can test it out tomorrow night.

Unfortunately, Comcast, DIRECTV and Optimum are the only TV providers that will air the championship contest in 4K. And unlike Fox, which offers a 4K stream on its Fox Sports app, ESPN will not provide the game in 4K over the Net, via an app or web site."
