‘It wouldn’t have been close’: Alabama football player wanted to face UCF for national title | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

The Central Florida football team spent the close of the 2017 college football season claiming it was the national champions. Had it been up to Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick, the Knights would have had to put up or shut up.

Fitzpatrick told SEC Country he was more than game for the Crimson Tide to face the Knights after Alabama's championship game victory for the right to call themselves national champions. Fitzpatrick said that despite being beat up after a long season, his competitive side would have got him on the field for one more game.
