College Football National Title Game Might Get Delayed Due to Ohio State COVID Issues

Published|Updated

2020 might be over, but we are still getting the same frustrating COVID-19 news. John Talty and Matt Zenitz of AL.com report that the college football national championship game between Ohio State and Alabama, slated for Monday, might be postponed due to player availability issues with the Buckeyes.

"Ohio State has informed key parties involved it could be without a position group due to COVID-19 testing and related protocols," AL.com reports. Major college football reporters Brett McMurphy and Ross Dellenger have also confirmed the news about the possible postponement.

It should be noted that just because discussions are happening does not mean the game has moved as of yet. If it does move, the makeup date would be one week later, on Monday, January 18th. The game would still take place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

We will obviously be monitoring developments, so stay tuned to OutKick to find out how things unfold.

Update: Pete Thamel adds that the game's a go, for now:
