Trey Sermon, Ohio State Running Back was injured on the very first play by Alabama defense. 4 Alabama players jumped on him and injured his neck or shoulder. That injury did change the path of the game to Alabama's advantage since he was an important component of Buckeyes' Offense. Also, Buckeyes DEFENSE, specially Pass defense, played a poor game. They had a problem schematically, players, and coaching. Teams win national championships when they have a great defense, more often than not. Buckeyes' Defense played poorly in this game.
