Amid ongoing COVID-19 concerns within Ohio State's program, College Football Playoff director Bill Hancock said Monday's national championship game will be played as scheduled.
"As I have said all week the game is on. Alabama's team will be traveling to Miami tonight, Ohio State will be arriving [Saturday]," Hancock said, per Stadium's Brett McMurphy. "We look forward to a great night of college football."
Hancock's comments come one day after Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day said his team will "have plenty of players" for the game against the Crimson Tide.
Day gave the update after reports surfaced earlier this week about the possibility of delaying the title game one week due to COVID issues on the OSU side.
