00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.300
<v 0>A site. I don't think a lot of people expected, but feels obvious.</v>

2
00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:04.380
After the semifinals,

3
00:00:04.710 --> 00:00:09.240
the Ohio state Buckeyes will face the Alabama Crimson tide for the 2020 college

4
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.990
football national championship game. Dan woken in Arlington breaks down.

5
00:00:12.990 --> 00:00:14.820
What makes Alabama special?

6
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:18.300
And Paul Meyer Berg does the same bro HIO state in the world.

7
00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:22.820
<v 1>After dispatching of Notre Dame and the college football playoff semifinals.</v>

8
00:00:22.850 --> 00:00:27.830
Alabama's headed to the national championship game for the eighth time in 14

9
00:00:27.830 --> 00:00:31.700
seasons under Nick Saban, just a remarkable record.

10
00:00:31.910 --> 00:00:36.470
He is five and two in those championship games going for title number

11
00:00:36.470 --> 00:00:40.700
six. This is a team that's built to go up and down the field.

12
00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:44.390
Quick scores, open it up. When you've got a weapon like Devante Smith,

13
00:00:44.390 --> 00:00:47.360
who always seems to be open a quarterback like Mack Jones,

14
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.380
who doesn't make mistakes. You have chances to take shots down field.

15
00:00:51.650 --> 00:00:55.550
And I think because of what Ohio state can do off offensively,

16
00:00:55.850 --> 00:00:58.100
it's really going to put the pressure on Alabama to keep scoring.

17
00:00:58.610 --> 00:01:01.880
<v 2>After having their playoff credentials really questioned after playing only six</v>

18
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:02.900
games in the regular season,

19
00:01:02.900 --> 00:01:07.160
Ohio state answered any doubts with the resounding win in the sugar bowl against

20
00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:07.670
Clemson.

21
00:01:07.670 --> 00:01:10.970
What this says about Ohio state going into the matchup against Alabama is that

22
00:01:10.970 --> 00:01:13.700
I'll have a state as obviously good enough to win the whole thing because you

23
00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:16.040
saw after some fits and starts during the regular season,

24
00:01:16.490 --> 00:01:19.880
a complete football team without standing quarterback play from Justin Fields,

25
00:01:20.210 --> 00:01:23.360
outstanding defense, a complete performance on both sides of the ball,

26
00:01:23.630 --> 00:01:27.350
and really every performance that if it can carry over would be good enough to

27
00:01:27.350 --> 00:01:28.820
beat even mighty Alabama.

28
00:01:28.850 --> 00:01:31.730
But the key will be consistency all throughout the regular season.

29
00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:35.150
Ohio state was a little bit spotty couldn't play complete four quarters though.

30
00:01:35.150 --> 00:01:39.080
It was always good enough against the big 10 60 minutes against Clemson or the

31
00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:41.060
good enough, the same 60 minutes.

32
00:01:41.270 --> 00:01:43.100
Very well could be good enough to beat the grim center.

33
00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:43.280
<v 0>Okay.</v>
