Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Ryan Day, who couldn’t win any big game, just won 4 (!!!!) straight for a National Championship. Jack Sawyer and the Seniors, who lost to TTUN four straight times, made play after play on offense and defense: Sawyer’s S&S, Egbuka breaking the all time receptions record at OSU, Jackson at left tackle holding his own, Hancock and Simon stepping up, and Will Howard to Jeremiah Smith to seal it. The greatest redemption of a coach, player, and team in CFB history. (+6) 🏆🏆🏆 |
| 2 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
