Mac Jones threw for 464 yards in Alabama's 52-24 win over Ohio State, which is a College Football Playoff record, breaking the mark of 463 that Burrow set last year. Jones also threw five touchdown passes.

"I think (Waddle) was 100 percent fast exploding, straight line," Saban said. "Had a difficult time cutting off of that foot and slowing down. Those are the two things, that decelerating and cutting off of that foot, were the two issues for him."

Nick Saban met with reporters through video conference this morning, just hours after Alabama dispatched Ohio State. Although Saban has coached six other national champions — including five more at Alabama — this team stood out as special to him.

This morning in a video conference with reporters, Alabama's DeVonta Smith said: "Just that the Heisman wasn't something that I came back for. I came back to get a degree and to win a national championship."
