Ohio State had no answer for Alabama’s offense.
Najee Harris and DeVonta Smith each scored three touchdowns as the Crimson Tide rolled up over 600 yards of offense in a 52-24 win over the Buckeyes.
The win gives Alabama (13-0) its sixth national title under coach Nick Saban and its third in the College Football Playoff era.

Clemson, with titles after the 2016 and 2018 seasons, is the only other school with multiple playoff championships.
