The first half of the CFP National Championship Game between Alabama and Georgia at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Monday night was low-scoring, which led to plenty of jokes.
Bama led Georgia 9-6 at the half. There were five field goals and no touchdowns through the first two quarters. The game very much resembled a low-scoring field goal affair more common among Big Ten teams, which was fitting considering the game was played in Indy — the site of the Big Ten Championship Game.
You can bet that wasn’t lost on the fans. Take a look at some of the tweets:
I’m counting this first half as win for the B1G. Our football is on display

Extremely polite of both Georgia and Alabama to finally go up north in the winter and play a Big Ten football game

I thought everyone told me that there weren’t any more B1G football games this season. Why are people lying to me?

Play a CFP championship game in Big Ten country and it brings out the inner Iowa even in SEC teams.
