waddle back at practice for bama. not sure if he'll play, but good to see him recovering quickly. if he's not 100%, he doesn't need to play. but i can't say i wouldn't be excited to see him line up on first play from scrimmage.

Well crap.
11 Warriors Commenter (ie not an official reporter) claiming to have spoke with several players is saying numerous more Buckeyes have tested positive for Covid including Tommy Togiai and Tyreke Smith.

I'll say it again:
NO WAY OSU BEATS ALABAMA.

I have a nurse friend that says any results from today is too fast a turn around to have come from the Clemson game. But I'll still be bitter to those cheating bums for canceling testing after they got a positive result.

That would be rough. Only way OSU wins is controlling the line of scrimmage and getting after Mac Jones. Tough to do that without those guys

You can score on Bama.  That's been shown and OSU is more than capable of twelving with the Tide.
However, the problem is that their offense has no weakness.
Good defenses attempt to make offenses one-dimensional.  It's sound and usually doable.  With Alabama's offense, due to their offensive line, they:
a - probably cannot be made to be one-dimensional, AND
b - would probably beat you by being one-dimensional by EITHER just running or just passing
.
You want to blitz them to defend the pass?  Their OL blocks, they have an uncoverable WR, and 2 others who are very good, and a RB who can catch the ball.  Jones gets rid of it quickly.
You want to drop 8, Jones has all day, and nickels-and-dimes you.  Arkansas did that, and the Tide scored 52 points.
You want to shut down the run - their OL runs you over anyway and their NFL RB still gets 100 yards, all while the passing game SHREDS you.  The couple of games Harris was slowed, the backup RBs yielded a total of over 100 yards and a very good ypc average.  
.
If you told me Ohio State scores 45 points, I'd still only give them a 50% of having won the game.  And that's sick.

I like our D-line vs their Offense but not w/o Tommy Togiai and Tyreke Smith.Who hopefully don't have the virus - or any one else for that matter

The Buckeyes looked better than they have all year against Clemson.  Ohio State plays like that again and they could very well beat Alabama.

that sucks. if indeed covid is effecting either team (more than 1-2 players), they need to postpone the game. don't want either team losing because of injury/illness.

if bama and buckeyes were playing each other last friday the way each team did play, buckeyes probably win.

The makeup date for the College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T is Jan. 18 -- one week after its current date of Jan. 11 -- at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Agreed.  A certain portion of either fanbase would never stop saying "we would have won if not for COVID" if either team has any outbreak.  I'd much rather have it both teams at full strength even though my team is likely too lose that way.

I'm not so worried about their OLine, with Larry Johnson's DLine rounding into form at seasons end.

No need to play the game, the NY Times has already awarded their NC to UConn for hiding under their bed instead of playing. :cheer:
