The Best Tweets From Alabama vs. Ohio State
By Chris Dodson
Alabama came into this game a favorite, the number one seed and SEC Champions. They had weeks to prepare for an Ohio State team that was down to their third string quarterback. In then end, however, this is why they created the playoff in the first place: To separate a true national champion from the top four teams. In the end, Alabama ended up on the lower side of the scoreboard, falling to the Ohio State Buckeyes 42-35.
All year long, we’ve brought you the best tweets from every game and we’re going to do so one last time for the season. Below are the most entertaining, hilarious and insightful tweets from the game last night. Enjoy.
Wow, Christion Jones just let a live ball drop in the end zone and left it. White got on it before OSU got there.

Christion Jones I can't deal with this tonight.
— BamaHammer (@Bama_Hammer) January 2, 2015
Things got off to a scary start when Christion Jones left the ball in the endzone on the kickoff for any Ohio State player to take and score 6. Thankfully, Bama got on top of it.
"Have you seen him punt?"

Not sure what they are, specifically, but pretty positive Alabama's punter has relevant military applications.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 2, 2015
JK Scott was easily the player of the game for Alabama, who flipped the field on multiple possessions that gave Alabama life at several points in the game.
I must not know how safeties work.

A should-have-been safety was missed by the referees and might have been one of the more important missed calls in the game. But this is Bama Hammer, we don’t make excuses on referee calls when we lose. Most of the time.
Derrick Henry is like a diesel powered rhino.

Derrick Henry was great in the game, when he was played. Henry finished with 13 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown.

WISH WE HAD SOME RUNNING BACKS THAT WERE GOOD GUYS

I have the feeling Coach Saban told Kiffin, 'Run the ball, or I will stab you in the liver.

I’ve never seen my Timeline suddenly blow up in “Run The Dang Ball”. Surprised it never got on the Trending topics.
That headset toss was the best throw of the 4th quarter.
— Rich Eisen (@richeisen) January 2, 2015
so sad to see a coach lose his composure grow up urban
— Faux Pelini (@FauxPelini) January 2, 2015
If that headset survived that toss, quit football and start marketing the highly durable new Beats By Urban. #sugarbowl
— nascarcasm (@nascarcasm) January 2, 2015
Urban was mad after a flag was thrown for running into the kicker against Alabama. He thought it should have been roughing. Video Evidence says otherwise.
Is Kiffin now calling plays for Ohio State????
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) January 2, 2015
OH MY GOD DID OHIO STATE HIRE LANE KIFFIN
— @MileHighBrendan was here (@MileHightheGrey) January 2, 2015
Lane Kiffin calling plays for Ohio St now? Throwing it deep?
— Patrick Netherton (@PTNetherton) January 2, 2015
A bonehead play by Ohio State kept Alabama in the game by offering them a virtual free timeout after a deep ball was ruled incomplete.
Hold your breath. This is where Captain Kiffin takes us home. pic.twitter.com/VJp5YW6MQE

ALABAMA NEEDS A TOUCHDOWN AND EXTRA POINT TO TIE THIS, OR 3 FIELD GOALS TO WIN IT.
— Landon Howell (@landonhowell) January 2, 2015
Unfortunately, the time ran out and Alabama ended up short on the scoreboard. Game over. After the game:
Urban: “Oregon won by 40?!?! … I gotta go. We gotta go get ready."
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) January 2, 2015
So in effect Auburn beat Alabama? RT @CecilHurt: Meyer said WISC's W vs AU was "a big moment" in helping OSU believe it could win vs the SEC
— B.J. Millican (@bjmillican) January 2, 2015
And now a few miscellaneous tweets from the game:
"What's Kirby Smart doing? Nothing. I don't even think he cares anymore. He doesn't jump up and down or do anything anymore."
— Bama Grandma (@bamagrandma) January 2, 2015
Jokingly asked Bama official if Bama fans would rush field if won title: "Our fans wouldn't rush field if we beat the Dallas Cowboys"
