Alabama head coach Nick Saban passed legendary college football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant for the most national championship wins by a head coach on Monday night as the Crimson Tide beat Ohio State, 52-24.
With the victory, Saban claimed his seventh national championship, and sixth with the Crimson Tide.
Alabama star wide receiver DeVonta Smith put on a show throughout the game's first half, hauling in 12 catches for 215 yards and three touchdowns, breaking the national championship for catches in a game which had been 10. Smith, who got injured on the second play of the second half, also was just six yards shy of the record for championship game receiving yards which was 221 set by LSU wideout Ja'Marr Chase.
