WATCH: Alabama scores first points of national championship

Alabama draws first blood in the 2021 national championship with a one-yard touchdown run by Najee Harris to cap off the opening drive.

A 78-yard opening drive for Alabama ends with a touchdown by Najee Harris.

The drive was a mix of passes by Mac Jones to a slew of receivers, including Jaylen Waddle, who returns from what many thought was a season-ending injury.

Harris punched the ball into the endzone on a one-yard carry to put the Crimson Tide up by seven points in the first quarter.

Alabama held Justin Fields and Ohio State to a three play opening drive that resulted in a punt.

Plenty of time lef time the game, but the Crimson Tide appear to be stronger than the Buckeyes on both sides of the ball.
