Canadian John Metchie III had to overcome more than just the Ohio State Buckeyes defence on Monday night.
Metchie III had eight catches for 81 yards in top-ranked Alabama s 52-24 win over Ohio State in the NCAA football championship game. Tide head coach Nick Saban said Tuesday that Metchie III, a sophomore receiver who grew up in Brampton, Ont., played through an ankle injury the entire second half of the season.
