It was do or die for Ohio State. The Buckeyes had to win the national championship or face a season full of doubts. The game was tough, with Notre Dame fighting back, but the Buckeyes had their secret weapon: freshman sensation Jeremiah Smith. He caught a deep pass that sealed the game, giving Ohio State a 34-23 victory. This championship had something for everyone. It was a chance for redemption for coach Ryan Day, who had faced criticism after losing to Michigan four times. It was also a dream come true for quarterback Will Howard, who joined the team from Kansas State to compete for this title. Even the running back, Quinshon Judkins, scored three touchdowns to help lead the Buckeyes to victory. The team had to overcome many challenges, including losing key players to injuries and dealing with high expectations. But they pulled through, becoming one of the greatest teams in Ohio State history. The offensive line, despite losing two starters, reformed and played a crucial role. Even the offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly, left his head coaching position to join the team. This championship was a testament to the team's resilience and determination.
