Alabama rolled over Ohio State 54-24 on Monday night in the national championship game, which sparked a massive celebration back in Tuscaloosa.
Students and Crimson Tide fans in Alabama flooded the streets in the wake of the program’s 18th title, ignoring officials’ pleas to stay home amid the COVID-19 pandemic — which is raging throughout the country.
By the end of the night, 14 people had been arrested in what Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox said was “larger than any celebration we’ve seen in recent memory.”
“I think it goes without saying that we are disappointed,” Maddox said, via USA Today.
