Alabama 7.5 and 76....

Almost Allright

GO Bucks!!!
If Fields can’t run from the injury I look for OSU’s ground game to find it tough sledding. But I’m a thinking a lil ML on OSU cuz I’m a homer.

Its going to be tough. Did you see what Smith did on that screen pass for Alabama's 1st TD? Did you see Harris jump over a defender then have the speed to break? You gotta keep in mind Clemsons speedster WR Ross was out entire year. Need a lot of things to go Buckeyes way to stay in game. But yeah, might as well play ML on them. They either win or get blown out.

Uh they were playing Notre Dame
 
Bama not blowing out ND and Ohio St looking so good against Clemson really sets up a deflated line. One of the 1st times I can say without a doubt you're actually getting value on a Tides #.

If I saw more from Ohio State this season I would back them. Alabama entire body of work leads me to believe they can't be stopped or contained without winning the turnover department by at least a couple. The biggest issue is leaving Smith alone. You can't do that. Its a loss from the start. He will beat anybody Ohio State throws at him. Jones will just recognize this and run plays off this like he has done all season. Its impossible to not give up at least 35.With that said Ohio State needs to keep pace all game long and NOT commit even one turnover. Its such a tall task.

To beat Alabama the Bucks need to play as well as they did last night, not sure they can bring it again at that level

With all the talk about Justin Fields, I'll be interested to see where Chris Olave fits on an NFL field and how about running back Trey Sermon?

I know running backs are a dime a dozen in the NFL but that guy runs HARD.

I think the total is set a TD too high. Given Sabans approach to call of the dogs in the 4th, plus a valiant defensive effort against an anemic bunch, the under again wouldn't surprise me.

Now 21-14, Alabama.

Video game stuff.

Where's the defense?

Nick Saban was smart.

He won his six national titles mostly with staunch defense.

After losing a pair of title games to Clemson, he changed his philosophy to outscore opponents.

In-game numbers: Alabama -12.5 and 85.5.

Scary to think Alabama could've been "looking ahead" last week after a just satisfactory performance against ND.

Final score: Alabama 52 Ohio State 24.

Station Casinos opened the total at 77.

Early UNDER bettors survived tonight's offensive display by Alabama.

There was no scoring over the game's final 13 minutes.
 
They showed nothing in ND game knowing ND couldn't keep up with them. OSU also couldn't match their intensity they had in Clemson game. They wanted that game badly.
Bingo-OSU put everything they had into getting revenge on Clemson

In the end however, they had no way to deal with D Smith who was a man among boys
