I heard an analyst talking about that very play. I think it was Matt Wyatt, not sure.

They never intended for a MLB to be covering Smith. The point was that the combination of Sark's scheme (presnap-motions) along with Smith's speed/quick direction changes kept them so off balance that they just were over matched once the play began.

Ohio State was trying to give help over the top and that left so many other things wide open underneath. That plan worked great vs Clemson but not Bama. It was an impressive scene.
