The legacy that could await Alabama on Monday night
The memory of Crimson Tide teams 2016 and 2018 remain for teams that were almost the best ever but didn’t finish the job.
Alabama and Ohio State did their final COVID-19 testing on Friday and the results that came back ensured the game will be played as scheduled, according to sources.
