There are reports that Ohio State is dealing with COVID-19 issues this week, which could prompt the NCAA to postpone the National Championship Game versus Alabama. In response to the news of the alleged situation, Nick Saban's daughter took to Twitter—in a since-deleted tweet—to call out the Buckeyes.

It was discovered on Tuesday that Ohio State has multiple players that are dealing with issues connected to COVID-19. As a result, they notified the NCAA and both sides are trying to work something out to ensure a game takes place.
While Ohio State is likely legitimately dealing with COVID-19 concerns, Nick Saban's daughter didn't seem to buy the reports. On the contrary, she believes that Ohio State is attempting to push back the game in hopes to give Justin Fields more time to recover from the injury he suffered in Friday's playoff game versus Clemson.
Early in the game against Clemson, Fields took a massive hit to his ribs, leading him to play in pain throughout the entire contest. Even though the injury he sustained seemed to be a notable one, it's hard to believe he would sit out, regardless of when the game was played.
Not to mention, Ohio State dealt with COVID-19 issues earlier in the season, which nearly led them to not being selected to the college football playoff entirely. Altogether, the Buckeyes played only six games in the regular season due to an outbreak on the team.
Ahead of Ohio State and Alabama's title bout, it's apparent that Saban's daughter isn't a fan of how the Buckeyes may get some more time to get Fields healthy.
