About This Game
Alabama came out swinging, with Derrick Henry punching in the first touchdown and the Crimson Tide's offense establishing dominance early. By the end of the first half, Alabama had built a commanding 21-6 lead, looking every bit the top-ranked team. But the third quarter became a turning point. Cardale Jones led Ohio State's stunning offensive barrage—a 47-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith cut the deficit, then Steve Miller's interception return for a score flipped the field entirely. The Buckeyes' defense tightened while their running game found another gear. Ezekiel Elliott's devastating 85-yard touchdown run with a two-point conversion put Ohio State ahead 42-28, a sequence that effectively sealed Alabama's fate despite a desperate late-game touchdown drive. The Crimson Tide scored 35 points and still fell short—a testament to Ohio State's second-half dominance and Elliott's game-changing performance.
