After a three and out to open the game and giving up a long drive to the Crimson Tide, Justin Fields led Ohio State down the field to get on the scoreboard and tie Alabama at seen each.
Master Teague took a handoff around the left end and got in for an eight yard score. But it was the play before that would set Teague up when Tight End, Jeremy Ruckert pulled in a one-handed catch from Fields over the middle.
This is a matchup that Ohio State will look to exploit when it gets a linebacker in coverage on Ruckert.
Watch Ruckert’s spectacular catch below.
Great throw and catch here by Justin Fields and Jeremy Ruckert. #GoBucks ##NationalChampionship https://t.co/KdQkFHHkeZ
