As Ezekiel Elliott ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns, the Ohio State Buckeyes rolled to an impressive 42-20 victory over the Oregon Ducks in the first ever College Football Playoff National Championship last night. Under the leadership of head coach Urban Meyer, the Buckeyes, who lost to Virginia Tech in September and were written off several times during the season, overcame many obstacles to claim the ultimate prize at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

In Other News Chinese customs officials on Sunday busted a Hong Kong man trying to sneak 94 iPhones into the mainland -- by strapping them on his body. The man caught the attention of inspectors at the Futian crossing in Shenzhen, a southern Chinese metropolis bordering Hong Kong, when he walked like someone carrying a heavy load despite appearing to travel light. After finding nothing suspicious in his two plastic shopping bags, officials asked the man to pass through a metal detector -- and the alarm went off. Taped to his body, officials discovered both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S models and estimated the total value of the devices to exceed 300,000 yuan ($49,000). An iPhone 6 with 64 gigabytes of storage, for instance, sells for almost $1,000 in the mainland but only about $820 in Hong Kong -- and the price difference has created a huge and lucrative black market supplied by smugglers. Editors of the Paris-based satirical magazine released the cover of their next issue last night, and it shows a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed, holding up a sign with the now-famous slogan "Je Suis Charlie" (meaning “I am Charlie”). This issue of Charlie Hebdo is scheduled to be shipped to newsstands today and put on sale tomorrow. Many Muslims find depictions of Mohammed to be deeply offensive, and there has been speculation that Wednesday's attackers were motivated in part by past Charlie Hedbo cartoons. Circulation for this edition is expected to be massive. Three million copies will be printed. A normal run is 60,000 copies.
