Ohio State vs Alabama 2014

straight in Ohio State Oh God meeting tonight two of not only our eras best coaches but maybe two of the best of all time the 81st Allstate Sugar Bowl [Applause] here we go Christian Jones three yards deep mishandles it and now he'll have it down by white Henry flanking Blake Sims they're gonna fly sweep it though to Amari Cooper just one of the many ways they get it in his hands and looking down at five from the 30 gives it off to Henry only got about a yard though VJ Alden is in the Alabama backfield but it's in was a throw to Cooper got his left hand on it but that's all in perfect position and made a nice play on the ball read the eyes of Amari Cooper JK Scott's to punt go to bounce into the hands jaelyn Marshall who's pushed out here from the 15 Ezekiel Elliott he fights for about four on the special teams he's an all-american safety Jones rolls fires kind of a wobbly pass and it's complete hit the turf for a second Wow we couldn't see it from that angle tremendous play on the ball I'm not a hundred percent sure he didn't catch this time you down at 6:00 now for Ohio State Jones getting some pressure and he'll run with it and the big fella can run and he's got a first down and several more yards out across the 30 in a situation like this when everything's covered downfield he does have the ability third and six he got 12 and out quickly it's Marshall out of the backfield but he's still on his feet to the 44 yard line number one quarterback number two and quarterback number three gives it up Marshall trying to sweep left this time as drops very difficult to run against one of the best in the country only giving up 88 yards per game on a second of 13 just a straight handoff to Ezekiel Elliott trying to get wide right and he got the corner [Applause] [Music] Koby born once number 50 pool on this play get a block on the middle linebacker and again hard to run inside 54 yards first and goal and that Jones with a stiff arm each play of the drive call up six have been runs only one pass they fake it to Marshall Jones pumps once sidearms it incomplete intended for Evan Spencer they're down and goal and he's gonna have to backpedal and fired as far as he can into the stands and good gluttons kick Christian Jones won't mishandle this one brings it from two yards deep and he goes down in a heap at the 12 yard level only a 12-yard returned Cory Smith for Alabama he was in for that one play on third down but never touched the ball and Sims fires far side complete you know here is Derrick Henry tripped up and dropped for a loss of a yard Yeldon in there with since heavy pressure up the middle passes well overthrown who's had a whale of a season coming for Alabama when he got all of us babies jaelyn Marshall and it bounces he lost it I think in the lights and now he's going to pick it up on a hop at the 12 Marshall looking for some help over there when you add it all up Elliott we had the long run earlier it's got another good one here - the ball is out and Alabama's got it and it's Landon Collins let's see if the tide can capitalize and it's ends with a run straight up the middle down about eight you have to prepare for that you have to defend it and now it's big there at Henry run down the seven breathless kicked off deep and non-returnable Eliot is that a big run but a fumble carrying it in his right hand but still got first down Noah Brown in is a fullback Rose thrown away second down at ten Elliott straight up the middle not much there yeah see that's where it's hard to run third down and eight Jones hasn't connected yet in this first quarter not going to get a chance here either but he's going to run for it and he's got the first down and quite a bit more you leave yourself vulnerable to this nice move he just faked out number 93 Jonathan Adam who was unblocked and you see the running ability challenge deep at some point here with Devin Smith the step in the step back in the throw on a sideline with devin Smith there long ball man but there will be a run all the way here Jones in trouble down he goes at the line of scrimmage he let's see if Alabama doesn't drop more guys I'm going to bring an extra one including Collins and the ball is Eddie Jackson and gibreel Washington were there and he ran by - that's judges the deep ball and catches the deep ball as well as anybody I've seen he's got 20 yard line well and this has been the Achilles heel of the Alabama defense this year whoops lifts up his own fumble gonna be dropped though back at the mine yard laughs the first things first car down number 1 skål för of a passing situation probably for the Buckeyes back at the 9 yard line Jones as all day and a fire sidearm an incomplete Alabama going to more of a nickel defense pass rushers instead of run Stoppers Jones quick drop quick throw incomplete it try to make it a one-point game Nurnberger does six plays in goal to go situations and was the main culprit and why they only got three last time Christian Jones will feel this kick at the goal line and out to the 20 maybe the 21 for him well looks like look at him here's Derrick Henry on the pitch broke one tackle and out of bounds and Clark referee on the play well [Applause] Henri big hole on the left side cuts it back to the 45 of the defensive lineman Noah Spence who was suspended incomplete pass here take a timeout on a third down and to go down at two DJ's got the first down at the 35 Henry boy planted his foot and time and raised straight up the middle diving for heel women first down Sims heavy pressure throws farside completes and it's Fowler to pull back they faked the pitch to and Sims on a bootleg throws on the run touchdown like Sims touchdown pass number 27 extra point is rough furthest Samuel waiting back deep for Ohio State you'll get a shot at this one from the two yard line only about a 10-yard return in the ballgame Marshall trying to get wide with it he's not going to get there rod L Jones he fakes it to him runs out of time he's got to get rid of it back to your safety well they stone at the two-yard line at its Elliott straight up the middle and now they've got a foot absorbers career for Alabama he's back beep and he's gonna have a play on this one at around the 30-yard line reversing his field not anybody over that a block for him though and he gets about six on the Amari Cooper in motion they're going to throw it to him and a shoestring catch at the Cooper's in the slot they're gonna throw it to him again out there looking for a blocker puts his hand down and he's dropped by Darrin lead third down and three TJ Yeldon back to you there he'll get the carry he's not going to get the first down Bozo was there first and Curtis Grant the middle linebacker this defensive front is the strength of the Ohio State defense and they forced a critical fourth down play [Applause] they're going to give a little more room to work [Applause] fair catch taken around to five one of these teams will lead Oregon for the national championship Ezekiel Elliot's having a great game so far until now in Ezekiel Elliott he's got 109 here's another carry might got one more yard out of it maybe Jones straight drop here pressure coming again he retreats near his own goal line throws and it was caught whoopty backfield for Cardale Jones five-man rushing and one who got a hand on it this is where Alabama creates confusion gonna go back across the middle and I'm strike to Michael Thomas first down but guys first down at their own 29 Elliott up the middle first down and moving the ball out a little bit is huge for them right now seventh play of the drive here's the play action at a bralette intercepted picked up by Cyrus Jones coming the other way boy turns left out of bounds at the 15 sins flushed out of the pocket throws to the sideline and completed it that they're going to add to it here's Alabama on second and six just a little live out to Vogler he had to catch it twice he's going to be short the tide get a quick one here there up to the line in a hurry and it's Yeldon and I don't think he got there nice play by the Buckeye defense yelled ins at tailback you'll get the call and the first down first and go about Kristen goal just outside the water its yelled at again at Hill walked and yelled and was able to bounce outside for the touch we wish you a Happy New Year Kurdish Samuel come around to go along whoa [Applause] there's the hit good clean hit and then after this there's Marie Smith standing over top of him okay good ball Eliot tough yard that's about it team like Alabama when you help them flags are down as Elliot's going to go down at the line of scrimmage go down to ten if he can get the pass away and he is on target to Marshall who spins his way across the 50 to the 45 whoops elegant took a step forward he lost his balance just preparing for the plaintiff story first and 15 empty backfield pump fake by Jones goes off his back foot but he completed it very the guy they might go to here is Marshall and the slot probably guarded by a safety ro linebacker Jones fires far side into coverage in completes then for the good on third down needs another one here deep middle Marshall inside the 20 coverage if it's man from a safety or a linebacker this is sown coverage and he does a nice job on him a defense couple of 26 yard completions on this drive and not Jones going to the endzone that's maybe a chance of getting the baldies Elliott will come in motion that's where he's going with the football just as Todd called it almost ran out of bounds but stays in and he's got it down inside to 10 yard line they're going in a hurry and we got a 5-yard on whit Jones who's calling for it rolling to his comes back to his right nice play by who songs coming out there [Applause] and because it's hanging in the air Eddie Jackson even though he's making a play on the ball the contact was early into the slot Marshall coming around gets the flip and that's all he's gonna get lost a yard I think second down a goal after six Elliott with Jones in the backfield gets the carry slipped a little bit keeps his legs moving and we got to at least the floor made it converted a third and ten and a third and nine to get a third and gold right now Marshall crosses the field Eliot leads the way touchdown Ohio State that one puts them right back in business moves off to the second level the new center elf line gets a nice block and Eliot able to run it into the end zone Nurnberger in for the point after up and good and the Andrew white waiting on the kickoff Jones runs up on it and about the three yard line trying to get it to the middle of field and goes down to the ten great coverage you get so many great backs in the big ten sometimes you get lost in the shuffle a little bit Amari Cooper broke one tackle and then knocked out of bounds Derrick Henry with Blake Sims in the tie-back field they fake it to him through out to the Andrew white who's dropped after maybe a yard game by Lee one great play by Darren Lee white probably squirts forward for a first down Darren Lee was blocked he got a hold of the ankle and wouldn't let go and here's Cooper right here they've got him kind of protected it will be a pass it will not be complete the Andrew white dropped it the Andrew white just doesn't secure the catch points we can let this one fly as long as he wants to again beauty fair catch called for way back at the 22 yard line by Marshall Jones the play fake fires completes Michael Thomas he broke a tackle and he got out of the 37 yard line JT Barrett looking on Jones plenty of time let's go short underneath complete Corey Smith got to the 41 that's about all valuable time they've wasted Jones steps up in the pocket now he's going to run with it straight ahead and he's still running with it Cornell Jones inside the 15 27-yard Rumble up the middle that's the third time we've seen him scramble up the middle and his size and strength gets out of the tackle Ryan Anderson for the first down now he's rolling right to throw and just throws it away wisely to stop the clock well watch his strength at 6'5 250 that's a defensive end Ryan Anderson and he runs right through that tackle you would think they'd be sure to get three but they want more it's at all possible with 19 seconds left end around and now a pass coming up Spencer to the end zone Thomas did he get a foot down yes or do they ever do it with style huh this is not a play that fooled Alabama but the ball is thrown in the right spot did he get a foot down Wow I think he did there's his left foot there's still some green showing before you see the chalk Wow what a catch in what unbelievable balance Evan Spencer threw that ball in the only place that his guy could make a catch because Cyrus Jones was in perfect position to make a play on the ball it had to take a perfect throw an acrobatic catch on the other end Buckeye and his kid just lit up the crowd with that touchdown throw to Michael Thomas beautiful and Ohio State won the toss and deferred so they'll get the ball to start the third quarter they fake the pitch to Marshall and then Spencer on this beauty Ohio State with 348 yards of total offense in the first half against this Alabama defense gikai and short Jones runs up on out of about the 17 and he'll get out to the 29 maybe the 30 Ohio State way bigger in the total yardage category but flip the field and made this a close football game right now we have a heck of a ballgame and Nick Saban till Holly I think they converted every third down they didn't but they did go 7 out of 10 and that's more first downs giving up in a half by Alabama than anybody all year long against them more pick plays to in that first half than Alabama was able to generate maker Jones quick play fake in a slant complete for a first down serves the backfield for Cardale Jones the throw Thomas again from the other side this time great pass rushers their style against the long though and here their knots Eliot across midfield of the first down play clock down to three blitz here's the deep cross and the deep ball and Smith eat it out of his hands Taylor Marshall in motion they're gonna flip it to him they try this one earlier [Applause] most of the yardage like this five out of six will it's third and eight or more Jones waited to the last minute and let it fly he's got Devon Smith touchdown we got a flag down go conference and addy Jackson fell down and devin Smith does what he does his whole career cats long passes foot touchdowns that's his 30th we mentioned those touchdown grabs averaged almost 38 yards that one went 47 Nurnberger for the point after and the Buckeyes are shocking everybody right now 2721 Eddie Jackson's okay he's okay and then he trips and devin Smith pays it off and here's an interesting note devin Smith coming into the game had caught touchdown passes in 21 games Ohio State 21 to know in those games again now the tip will come from the 50 and just kind of put you up high taking out the 11 by Jones and he didn't even get to the toy back they fake it to yell and instan was in trouble scrambles out of trouble at first down at a bunch more and the ball came out of the end but I think he's down he is well how stages barely got set defensively Alabama is ready to go and Yeldon takes it around the corner decided to do it and it's paid dividends services level finally EJ Yeldon is gonna get tangled up with Austin Shepard the tackle in the back last thing Alabama wanted to do to start the third quarter was give up a touchdown to the Buckeyes and then had a situation like this third down and eight Sims flustered again down again this time it's Michael Bennett good pressure by Michael Bennett spin move on the guard Leon Brown that's this great individual effort by an interior lineman rushing the quarterback [Applause] so he's kicking it to nobody and it's going to take a great role Wow well let's lift the field in a hurry I'm Paul in the second era Eliot straight up the middle got on a little room to work out around the nine moved it four yards further and now Jones will keep it himself and that big fellow at 250 pounds might have just picked up the first down it's going to be close [Applause] back to Elliot and Ezekiel across the 22 the 22 second down and three play fake quick throw intercepted no not quite Cyrus Jones and they picked up eight up there 11 straight ahead and again the quarterback the one over would-be tacklers because of their lack of depth at quarterback but when they've called it to pick up a huge first down up 12 gage Jones throws complete Spencer Bates and throws with some company with another backfield this runs gonna be stopped short of the first down will bring up third down and a long yard now to try to run it wide here and that's not going to work either nice pursuit pirate Christian Jones waits back around the 15 and the rugby style punt and Dover and Jones is just gonna get out of the way and hope it makes it to the end zone but I don't think it did it's at the one foot line at his devin Smith flip the field almost as good as scoring TJ Yeldon is behind Blake Sims they'll hand it to him but he's cut down after a pickup of one Sims about three yards deep in his own end zone to take the snap but they're gonna keep it on the ground and yelled and broke it out there for what looks like your first day that's Derek Henry back in at the tailback spot and he'll get the toss with Fowler in front of a Derek Henry down the sideline big one by the big fella that's Fowler in motion again they faked the toss at a throw back to Fowler and on collision their father now comes out as a wide receiver to the bottom of your screen they'll give it to Henry and he's going to lose a yard maybe 2/3 ounce tonight Ohio State has owned it Alabama has suffered because of it well at the average yards to go for Alabama Ian Fowler switched places Sims quick throw intercepted picked off by Steve Miller Miller defensively band dream darn burgers extra point up and good and be right in the throwing lane in front of Amari Cooper Ohio State guessed perfectly on that third down play and not only do they get the interception they do one better they get the touchdown 28 unanswered Buckeye points in a game that looked like it was gonna go sour and now the pressures on the number one team the Crimson Tide of Alabama Christian Jones from just inside the five or the special teams have been special that's three big hits by Cory Smith Urban Meyer is an old school coach now they got their work cut out for him again Sims deep Cylon nobody home and down at Sam play-action Sims fires this time he's got it complete to Amari Cooper over it was after Blake Sims third interception in the game that things turned around sidearms us one middle screen Derrick Henry broke a tackle [Applause] TJ Yeldon trying to cut back looking for a block from his quarterback and a stiff arm as he goes out the team for Alabama he's inspiring things right now Yeldon first and goal first and goal alabama at the ohio state five Sam's play fake lobs it for Vogler he couldn't handle it follow the full-back is going to lead the way for exactly what I call touchdown Adam Griffith going after good to make it a one-possession football game samijo's not going to bring out quarterback run all the way for Jones from the 30 here comes a blitz off the corner Elliott takes it the other way and got a couple before he ran into trouble from trader priest Dale Jones's 5 of 7 throwing on third down all five completions have gone for first down Elliott joins into the backfield he'll throw again no he won't he's gonna keep it he's gonna go down Johnston's last bump traveled 60 yards that was whipped the roll this one end over end fair catch taken around the 26 yard line by Moore situation here tonight Derrick Henry straight up the gut for about seven second and three Henry again diving and somebody's helmet came off of the minute Simms gonna throw it out Amari Cooper on the corner and Cooper's close to another first down Sims pump-fake once now he's in trouble trying to dance out of it somehow dead Blake Sims now he's going to get planted by deer in the legal good but not able to throw the football downfield good pressure by Ohio State and Darren Lee and we called his name along he's been very tonight Sims under center blitz coming he fakes it to Henry and rifles at far side and it's incomplete well can flip the field if you have to punt don't force a bad play middle stream to Henry and he's going to be dropped by Curtis Grant and again it's it way into the lights here of the Superdome and almost mishandled that would have been a disaster Jalen Marshall gets his hands out there and snatches it great game going on here in New Orleans [Music] and he's hit Jones down at the for keeping her own territory only two about the five trick Jones dannegan his own goal on into the end zone the troll go to go deep left side out there and broken up by Cyrus man coverage the wide side of the field is just you and him and you know what a deep threat he is and Cyrus Jones able to make a play on the football little hands fighting going on between both of them it should be great field position for Alabama regardless of how he hits this one Christian Jones flags fly Johnston gotten out of there in a hurry high kick but short Jones has to clear out of the way it takes a bounce backward it's going to be in about the 23 yard line a 21-yard clock sometimes that's the the part of that rugby style kicking that come God can get you that ball you want it to spin back if you're kicking down Sims rolls right fires intercepted by Vaughn Bell wasted opportunity again for Alabama Vaughn Bell was not fooled at all and is there to slip in and make the interception huge play for the Buckeyes trouble tones got out of it or would have been a safety now he finds himself in his own end zone again to take the snap on second and 14 throws lolz o'clock the house gonna roll to throw that one's caught but it's well short of the first down I don't think that one was caught either I guess not [Applause] they hit him there's a flag cowboy and Jones who's buried on the other now is it five yards or is it more oh there goes the headset suggest it's not personal - it was a personal foul I think you'd still have the headsets [Applause] Oh pepper you call it headsets gonna get this place I don't know where that went baby's out there someplace the Andrew whited motion fake the stretch play and sins wants to throw and now he's gonna run with it gets what he can and gets out of bounds ooh late clock down to five right now Alabama might have to burn a timeout there it is Derek Henry got a first down in Ezekiel Elliott all well over that for Ohio State here's Henry and a nice cutback that close to the 41 straight drop by Simms on second and 7 pressure coming from Bosa he runs away from him but only got to the 40 yard line Cooper up on top quarterback draw Sims loses yardage Darren Lee again he's coming on the Blitz he reads it and he falls back in to make the tackle on the run Scott I kicked again bounces down inside the five again why again Jones fetters own goal line gives it off to Elliott as a true freshman Jones empty back fields gone along with it across the ten witch just got it they take a look at Landon Collins Cardale Jones has gotten hit pretty hard Collins hit him on this one right now oh hi Oh state using as much of the clock as they can the clock restarted after the injured player Landon Collins was taken off they can run about 20 seconds off the clock here Ezekiel Elliott and he's got an opening to the races can it catch him no they can't touch them there go for two here [Applause] and it's good Evan Spencer we've already said he's the thumper as a blocker the wide receiver watch the block he gets on the freshman linebacker key blocking the play Ezekiel Allen gets behind that block Billy price gets a block on the safety Nick Perry and then the speed of Ezekiel Elliott does the rest Evan Spencer has thrown a touchdown and he just threw the block that may have secured the Sugar Bowl for Ohio State the last two games for this young man 40 carries 450 yards a career-high of 230 right now and he had a 54 yarder earlier the game this one takes the cake 85 yards for the touchdown [Applause] and now Alabama urgently needs office or maybe a big play by Christian Jones here Jones got to the edge they'll drag it down but right now he's got Allstate Sugar Bowl rushing record here's a throwback and over the head of AJ how're they and we've only got three 12 left in the fourth quarter they need some big plays Sims trying to get up one go long 15-yard line 14 yard line Sims again try to throw a middle screen on that one and Cardale Jones who's been very good tonight Sims and he throws this one away mark there a desperate need of a conversion here first down would come at the 4 yard line Sims fires wide side completes and a big hit over there at the 5 yard line on Chris black would be ball game here if I don't get this Sims Rose Cooper touchdown Ohio State was trying to call a timeout Luke's pit bull was trying to call a timeout from the sideline and they couldn't get it done Adam Griffith that all-important point after is good I guess they're gonna take a shot at it here Griffith gets the go-ahead here it comes took a high bounce a second bounce tips and I think Evan Spencer caught it and he went high to catch that one nerves of steel gauging this and timing his jump and catching it at the high point [Music] the app jumps our Darrius Stewart number 13 pulled it down and stood out two huge plays by number six in this ball game an end-around pass from his wide receiver position to Michael you State by a touchdown darnell Jones takes the snap he's actually gonna throw and he's going long knocked away and especially intended receiver and and now hostage got to use the time Island no more time Ohio State can't bleed the clock this is going to be a run by Curtis Samuel there's the time out right away thinking the opposite and it's Jones going to run for that he's backpedaling and that's about the last thing you want yeah setting up the return and he has to call fair catch what Blake Sims cannot do here is take us out throws complete to Howard exciti that's his first catch five ticking off that clock I don't know why he didn't have to place called there at the line of scrimmage this time they go to black and he got level of the games that will bamas moving way too slowly here sure are Sims slants it the Andrew White's got it battles losing time here down to 33 seconds Sims in trouble can't take the sack as Todd said he's going to run for it gotta get to the sideline he's got to midfield walk hasn't started yet now it has at the midfield stripe 20 seconds to play Sims throws Whiteside Howard's got it he gets out of bounds pressure coming is going to air that long floats in the air and almost caught by to the end root but broken up by Eli Apple not sure why you're not throwing this in the direction of Amari Cooper came into the game with 115 catches should get the ball targeted to him here maybe the last play Sims deep hail-mary not answer it intercepted Ohio State's gonna win it hail-mary it was all they had time to do I didn't think they managed to clock very well early in this possession and on the final play tyfa's powell comes down with the football the 13th win of the season for Ohio State in dramatic fashion [Applause] in what is that classic Ohio State over Alabama two old rivals two of the best in the business [Music] you
