Hates won't get that. This was a great story. The 3 game finish was epic.

Best comment ever!! TCU was a great team but OSU was a team of destiny.

If there was a championship game TCU wouldn't have made it in because they lost to Baylor, therefore Baylor would have moved up for being in the same side of the conference(since they were tied in record but lost to them in the season). Either way TCU got offers from all the power conferences and they chose the big12 when it was collapsing. Its their fault for joining back in 2012.

***** ...this years heisman winner taking down last years heisman winner in round 1.

That really doesnt relate to OSU's story but yeah funny how that works. Sucks though you win the heisman and cant win the big game though. Winston did manage to accomplish that.

Same for me. Beating Alabama was the National Championship for me and always will be.

I couldn't agree more ;) this story must be enshrined in cinema

Not to mention the player who died in the midst of all of this.

I'm from Ohio

Yeah, four years after the fact, this season needs to be captured in a theatrical film, especially in light of the departure of Urban Meyer. I would, however, start a little before your suggestion: Meyer's departure from Florida, followed by Tressel's forced resignation, and Meyer's return to coaching. Montages can do a lot for a story line! My choice toplay Meyer would be Dennis Quaid, and first choice for director would be either Jon Lee Hancock ("The Blindside"), or

Excellent idea! I was so impressed with the talent and the heart of this team. JT Barrett worked for every extra yard, instead of sliding safely like other quarterbacks. He risked injury, and more, to keep this team in the game, and on many occasions made the difference between a win and a loss. I am not too proud to admit that I shed a few manly tears when he was injured in the game against TTUN. He is one of the greats of college football. I will always remember him as the brightest star of in a constellation of great talent. Thanks JT, Zeke, Bosa, Smith ...! You made Buckeye Nation proud.

And no one can take it away. Ever

yeah that would be sweet, but it's never going to happen probably because Ohio State isn't in the SEC.

Ohio Against The World RIIIIIGGGGHHHHHT

bayzhit I wonder if the Alabama players thought Zeke Elliott was slow when all they saw was the back of his jersey.

RB Brown Bama had to learn the hard way about that #BigTenSpeed !! haha #GoBucks #ParoleTide

bayzhit That would be cool, but I would like to see an Oliver Stone movie even more. Any Given Saturday: Ohio State Edition!

VA Wolfhunter 100%. I remember this season. Probably the most fun year of my life watching this team it brings back so many memories. OH

Agree

Totally agree. We may get a good offense from time to time, and a good defense other times. But I have never seen such a great team on all sides of the ball at the same time. This team will perhaps go down as one of the greatest in Ohio State history

Sean Hoagland IO! Go bucks!

Zeke has the best 3 game run in college football history

I think it was the single biggest run from scrimmage in OSU history.

But alabama has more national titles then you will ever have asspipe

@@StevenNeidlein you a lil salty bud

@@StevenNeidlein 15:54 Bama may have more titles. But one thing you will never be able to say, is that Bama won the first ever Football Playoff Championship. That one belongs to the Buckeyes... asspipe.

+Cody Seidel You sir, are a humble and true gentleman. Had the tables been turned, Oregon loses to MSU and wins the Pac 12 CG 59-0, I would say the same about the Ducks. Then I would demand an NCAA investigation into how that was even possible...because I'm still not sure how this was possible for tOSU.

I remember before the B1G Championship game I was like "Wisconsin wins, 35-31" and after thinking "boy was I wrong" hahahaha

I respect that

Travis Sloan 12 total players drafted in 2016 and 5 went in the first round

Should’ve repeated but MSU messed that up just to get blown out in the playoffs 😑

Travis Sloan And what’s crazy is that this 2019 squad looks to be even better.

@@envy690 Hell yes we do. We look even better than 2014 GO BUCKS.

Zeke, Michael Thomas (yes that micheal thomas), Joey Bosa, Cardel Jones, Braxton Miller, bruh....what the actual fuck

It felt like it was 10 minutes long then I see is 26. I feel horrible for losing hope 3 time after Miller got hurt, loss to VT then when Barrett got hurt.

0-H

I-O!

You said it Diane!!OHIO STATE 2014 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS-A TEAM FOR THE AGES !!

I was there too, Diane. It was a thing of sheer beauty. In fact, to paraphrase the movie "Rudy", it was the most beautiful sight these tired old eyes have ever seen. O-H!

yessir i am; arizona native buckeye here to say im going to be at the fifty yard line, 41st row on the clemson side. horrifyingly nervous and excited. GO BUCKS

We lost...

We should of won that was joe burrows team that was facing his tigers

There are people absurdly bigger than me in those games that looked like average sized people to him on TV and that........THAT FUCKING SCARES ME

***** h u u up in by

Ryan Hoffman Cardale kept running over the Oregon players. When he ran over the noseguard, I said to myself, this Cardale Jones isn't just a big guy, he's tougher than nails. Cardale made Oregon look soft and weak. I also love when it looks like he's throwing a little ten yard pass and he throws it 50 yards for a completion. He absolutely has a cannon for an arm.

Sean James that's not nice to say.Honestly,Cardale is awesome like whatRB Brown says

LOL

Don't forget kosta karageorge

+Henry Cracas not sure I understand what you mean?

@@Jagnole101 he was one a player for tOSU but he killed himself with a gun during this magical season. Sorry if this late

Thanks man. Classy of you.

Any time. I know how it is to hear the naysayers. Most from the SEC

Thanks man. My best friend is an FSU fan. I celebrated FSU ' S win over Auburn right along side him. I celebrate every time an SEC team falls.

FSU's my #2. just about cried when they got rid of Bowden though, he'll always be a legend in my book. sure miss that Weinke/Warrick combo, too.

Ohio Against The World Same my two favorite teams are Ohio State and FSU. I attended FSU. We left Ohio when I was 8 years old. But by then I was already a buckeye fan. Routed them through all those years when we couldn't seem to beat Michigan. For me this years National Championship was even more satisfying than the 2002 victory because they did it with authority and against all odds. The good thing my two fav teams rarely play each other. Like I can only remember one time. And yes I'm still upset that they pushed Bobby Bowden out. I think they did it cause they felt his name could no longer recruit. I dunno I still feel like it was wrong. And since then I haven't followed FSU near as much as I used to. Ironically I live in Gainesville Florida. And let me tell you I couldn't wear my FSU or Ohio State hats around without people ragging on me a bit about it. But Urban Meyer was a class act. The florida alumni and fans suck to be honest. If they aren't winning every game they bad mouth the coaches and the team. I think actually that is why Urban Meyer left. I think after two national championships he deserved a bit of trust. But they really thought he should win it every year. I remember by neighbor coming out one day telling me that Urban had lost his touch. And he wasn't the kind of guy the players could get close too. Now this guy is one of those guys that knows everyone in town, etc... So I'm guessing he was echoing the sentiment of lots of the big alumni backers, etc.. So anyway Urban left, came back and then left again. But I'm telling you it was the damn Florida alumni that he fled from. I hope the State of Ohio treats him better. I know the fans there can be rabid too. But they are smarter fans than most football fans.

I-O!!!

Yeah he was a stud. I wonder why it hasn't worked out in the NFL. He was as good a deep threat as there was in college.

@@RLAjabs Wrong place at the wrong time. Getting drafted by the jets is usually a death sentence in itself (at least it has been for the last 20 years). Then just getting traded around and not being anyone's priority always hurts as well.

He put the lost to msu in the wrong spot. He should of put it in the beginning, since that was 2013.

Niick saban / alabama & oregon & michigan put ohio state football 6 foot underground

I-O!

Agree! Me too

4 years later still getting chills

Yessirr!

third string qb even though u guys recruit top 5 talent every year. dude was probably a 4 star

Whet Wash and? It's still a third string. Not the best possible option.

@@urajeenus That's where YOU and so many delusional Kool-Aid drinking BUCKEYE NATION fans were & ARE WRONG. OUR 3rd STRING QB => WAS OUR BEST OPTION. He was our BEST OPTION in 2015 too => and went undefeated => AGAIN ! In 2016 & 2017 => our best OPTION was our 2nd, then 3rd string QB => J Burrow ! Put the Kool-Aid and BS Sandwiches down (that they feed you) and GET WOKE. How is it that Cardale Jones and Joe Burrow both (both Urban Meyer's 3rd string QB's) won NATTY's and YOU STILL DON'T GET IT ? The only time Urban Meyer got into the CFP's with his anemic offense was in 2016 => when we didn't even win our side of the B10 Conference => then got crushed => 0 - 31 in the CFP ! TELL THE TRUTH => YOU DON'T EVEN WATCH OHIO STATE FOOTBALL !

Mmmmmmmmmm........

No offense, but as a Buckeye fan, I think you're crazy.

Oregon was the nice kids who everyone feels sorry for and Miami were thugs. I guess it was more exciting beating Thug U. I still wanted the Bucks to beat the Ducks to a pulp but I didn't get that "party like its 1999" feel afterward. Not many people know this but nobody had gone 14-0 since 1895 before Ohio State did in 2002.

JSS Tyger Yeah, I guess i can't look at this championship game without stacking on the greater drama of the season. '02 had drama, but nothing like this year.

For me, it was the simple fact that when we won the title in 2002 I was like 12, so I didn't fully grasp the significance of the victory. As the years went by and the elusive crystal football always slipped through our fingers during the BCS era, I began to realize just how perfectly the stars had to align for a team to make it all the way. This national championship is something extremely special, because it's not just the game but it signifies how far this team had to come to make it there (losing Braxton at the beginning. Losing to VA Tech at home. Kosta Karageorge committing suicide. JT going down at the very end. Fighting with Baylor and TCU for the last spot. People doubting us and saying we didn't deserve to be in the playoffs). This national championship was all about redemption, and I will savor it because even though we should be an even better team next year, you never know how long it will take before you win another.

There was alot of nailbiters in 2002. The hail mary against Purdue. The game against Illinois where they were just a few inches from losing. 14-9 over UM (a team we could never beat in the 90s). Even Cincinatti was a close game. Double OT vs Miami was just insane. I was at Buffalo Wild Wings for that game and the place just blew up when Cie Grant threw Dorsey down on that last play. I never seen a title before that for any of my teams.

It's mostly SEC bias. Its ridiculous. The Big tens best athletes are as good as the athletes anywhere else.

he came to ohio state as 3 star

right, as a 3-star QUARTERBACK too lol pretty wild. Meyer classified him under "Athlete" and it was all over from there, Lee never looked back. that's one of the good things about Meyer, bringing out hidden potential.

Ohio Against The World Yup that's what he is known for

one of the most underrated linebackers in OSU History
