There has been some chatter about delaying the game because of coronavirus issues within OSU’s program, but it sounds like everyone is aiming to play this Monday as scheduled. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Despite the initial report that the Buckeyes might try to delay the game because of coronavirus, it seems like all signs are pointing to playing as scheduled.
From @mzenitz and me, per sources: There are COVID-19 issues at Ohio State that have led to discussions about possibly having to push back the national title game to a later date https://t.co/8F7GiP7b7o

As I said Tuesday after the news broke, you know there are about to be a million conspiracytheories about this happening just so Justin Fields can get healthy.
I don’t buy it at all. The tests are either positive or they’re not. The NCAA isn’t going to let the game get postponed unless it’s 100% justified.

So, I believe Byrne when he says the focus is playing as planned. I absolutely expect the Buckeyes and Crimson Tide to play Monday night.
Of course, we are talking about the era of coronavirus. Things can change on a dime, but as of this moment, it looks like we’re going to be okay.
