HOLY CRAP, that was almost an Ohio State TD. How did the announcers not even notice that???

Sean Neurnberger's 23-yd FG is good. #Buckeyes lead 3-0.

Buckeyes bring a blitz on third down and they've forced two three-and-outs to start this game.

Just a 73-yard punt.

CARDALE JONES AIN’T COME TO PLAY SLIDE
— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) January 2, 2015
Bama is in a bind because their cornerback play has been subpar all year. They'd like to man up OSU and stuff the run but don't trust CBs
— Chris B. Brown (@smartfootball) January 2, 2015
Ball at 5 on one possession and at 1 on other and have to settle for FGs.
— Bill Rabinowitz (@brdispatch) January 2, 2015
Jones’ fumbled snap cost Buckeyes big there. Settle for field goal. It’s 7-6 Alabama, 5:17 1st Q.
— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) January 2, 2015
Ohio State is averaging 8.4 yards per play, is outgaining Alabama 168-45 and trails by a point. Tide are insane in red zone.
— Brian Hamilton (@BrianHamiltonSI) January 2, 2015
Turnovers and red zone aside, there's no way Ohio State can win if Alabama is getting 7 yards a carry
— Matt Brown (@MattSBN) January 2, 2015
Think Alabama wants to run left with Derrick Henry tonight? Over and over and over again away from Joey Bosa.
— Jon Solomon (@JonSolomonCBS) January 2, 2015
TD, Sims to Cooper. Nice little move in end zone by Cooper to get space.
— Bill Rabinowitz (@brdispatch) January 2, 2015
That was a classic NFL drive. Stuff it down your throat, finish with QB waggle.

OSU DL vs Bama OL had makings of a favorable matchup for Buckeyes but they are getting absolutely whipped up front.

Guys are not open. And Cardale Jones is having to improvise. Tough spot for a second start.

OSU bailed out on that forward progress call
— Chris B. Brown (@smartfootball) January 2, 2015
Say what you want about SEC speed vs B10….That doesn't even matter, fast is fast.. These trenches right now…..
Alabama took delay of game at its 47 before punting … because JK Scott needed the extra 5 yards to pin Ohio State at the 5. Amazing.
— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) January 2, 2015
Ohio State was one of the best teams in the country in field position. Not the case so far.

Miscommunication between Cardale Jones and Devin Smith leads to disaster for Ohio State

Obviously, a miscommunication between Cardale Jones and Devin Smith. Smith kept running. Jones expected him to stop. Easy INT.

Not sure why Ezekiel Elliott hasn’t touched the ball inside the 10-yard line yet.

That run had the flavor of Cam Newton, a man known for terrorizing the Tide.

I think it took #OhioState awhile to adjust to this caliber an opponent. But now Buckeyes have found their legs.

Oh wow what a catch.

If Bama loses, people gonna be asking Lane why he didn't go to Henry more (as in exclusively) late…
— John Walters (@jdubs88) January 2, 2015
Lane Kiffin might be Ohio State's defensive MVP right now.
— Brian Bennett (@BennettESPN) January 2, 2015
That's 3 straight 3-and-outs for Ohio State offense.
— Jon Solomon (@JonSolomonCBS) January 2, 2015
Great job by Alabama's defense there and then special teams hits the punter. Lucky that isn't a personal foul
— Edward Aschoff (@AschoffESPN) January 2, 2015
Urban Meyer is furious and just threw his headset because refs called running into the punter instead of roughing.
— Jon Solomon (@JonSolomonCBS) January 2, 2015
Darron Lee is having a monster game. Superstar in the making.
