- Relive the Ohio State Buckeyes' 2014 season as they become the first school ever to win the College Football Playoff.
This is simply my fan made tribute to the Buckeyes' 2014 season. I do not own any of the footage or music. Credit goes to the BTN, ESPN, OSU Production Team and other networks for their footage. Music by Immediate Music/Two Steps From Hell.
That game against Bama, when everyone said we didnt belong. Didn't stand a chance. It was amazing. When Elliott went 85 yards through the heart of the south, it was the greatest moment in my nearly 40 years as a Buckeye fan.
Same for me. Beating Alabama was the National Championship for me and always will be.
“And The Ohio state buckeyes are the first national champions of the playoff era!” I will never forget that quote
And no one can take it away. Ever
Probably the most epic story ever told in college football history, tough early loss, Kosta killing himself, clawing into the playoffs, 3rd string QB, taking down all 3 heisman finalists, downing the #1 team in round 1. Im sorry TCU you may have been better suit for Florida state, oregon or even Bama, but you couldnt have ever touched this team with the fire that was in them.
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.
I think a Hollywood movie should be made to commemorate this. Ohio State had a lot against them this year. Despite everything against them, they still won it all. Have a movie, start with the lose in the 2013 Big Ten title game, and Orange bowl. Then transition to Braxton Miller out with his injury. To other players being banned, VT lose, the rest of the season then in place, all the way through the National Title game. Thumbs up if you agree! Go Bucks!!!!!!!!
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.
definitely need an ESPN 30 for 30 on this
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!
One of the best teams in the history of CFB
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!
IO
felt great to see Alabama eat the dust. talked all that trash. zekes run I will never forget.
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.
Some of the happiest moments in my life watching this Buckeyes team wallop Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon to win it all. Thank you Coach Meyer, Zeke, JT, Cardale, Joey, Adolphus, Michael, Derron, Steve, Pat, and every other player and coach that brought this Championship back to the Buckeye state!! We love you all!!!! O-H
I'm
How'd you spell adolphus right but screw up Darron Lee
IO!!
Don’t forget Jeff Heurman, Nick Vannet, Taylor Decker, Devin Smith the best deep ball threat ever in Ohio State, Evan Spencer, Michael Thomas, Jalin Marshall, Eli Apple, and Joshua Perry
bagofboom and most of all thank Braxton Miller for getting the program to this point!
As a Miami fan who's still bitter from 2002, I'm still glad Ohio State won. They deserved it.
+Elite League of College Football Miami had one helluva run from the 80's to the early 2000's, and they'll be right back in it as soon as the NCAA stops screwing you...we feel ya.
@@SGobuck this didn’t age well...
I can't stand OSU. I'm a Trojan fan and I've always ranked Ohio State as my least favorite team in any sport.. but this team/story is amazing. 3 qb's and all that doubt, first year of CFB playoffs and they shut the critics up (including me). Bravo OSU, well deserved
classy. wish there were more out there.
foxfire1112 Why can't there be more USC fans like you and less like Duke Moose?
foxfire1112 You are probably the only hater of Ohio state that didn't say we lucked up and trash talk us. Respect to you man.
foxfire1112 Dude why the hate we didn't hate on yall when you guys almost won three national championship in the early 2000's
Sergio Parker did u even read his comment. He is paying us respect man.
I'd be dissapointed if they didn't make a movie out of this season. With two heisman trophy canidate QBs going down and the fact that they had to face the death of a teammate is really something you can't even make up. Unbelievable.
Still no movie…it’s a shame
I'm 19 years old and have watched every Buckeye game since I can remember. Ohio state beating Alabama is, and probably will always be, my all time favorite win. Moved to tears just watching this.
yeah cause thats the only time youll ever beat them lmao
I was like 10 and I accidentally fell asleep and woke up to a buckeyes win
@@whetwash2804 wanna bet
@@whetwash2804 your gonna lose to Lsu so don't even talk trash
@@whetwash2804 You guys lost to LSU and aren't even in the top 4 now go stand in the corner with your nose touching the wall.
I as a Duck fan (hurt me watching the last part of this video) have got to say, this team is truly special. Have to be considered one of the best teams in CFB history with the depth of all the positions, the coach, and the story.
+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
Oregon got revenge tour over ohio state football like michigan & alabama in 2021
The amount of talent this team had is unreal
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
Coach Woody was somewhere Smiling so hard this night I just know it.

I am still on Cloud 9! I am so glad I got to see the National Championship game in person. I will never forget this spectacular, against all odds season with a group of players that will never be duplicated. GO BUCKS!
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!
Ohio State against the WORLD baby!!! Go Bucks!!!!
This video is EVERYTHING I've wanted in a highlight video. THANK YOU and GO BUCKS!
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!
For the rest of my life I will never forget this team and the crazy ups and downs of the season and the true joy of watching them overcome every obstacle. This team was truly inspiring. The kind of team and season that you only see in movies.
I am a FSU fan, but I want congratulate the awesome season the Bucks had. Screw what the haters have to say, you guys deserved it. I'm just glad the SEC didn't win it for the second straight year and the title is staying on the east side of the country.
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.
Even though I wanted to see FSU repeat, I was very happy to see OSU come from what they did...losing a qb, then another one....losing to VT at home and rebounding from that. Other than the 2010 Packers, idk of any team that went through more crap and won it all. I've lived in the South all my life, so I'm just as sick of SEC hoopla as OSU fans are, so it was awesome to see them beat Alabama. One of my favorite non-FSU cfb champions to date.
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
Will never forget this team. Absolutely the best buckeye team in history. When Zeke hit that 85 yarder on bama, it was the happiest moment of my life
I am a 15 year old kid from a little town in northeast ohio, called Uniontown and I have been watching Ohio State football since I was a little kid...I will forever remember this amazing season where THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES beat the number one seed bama. we never were supposed to make the national tidal game but here they were beating bama to there knees. The beating Marcus Mariota and the Oregon ducks into the ground.
Fantastic Buckeye video, espn couldn't of done it better.
ESPN would only make this kind of video for an SEC school like Bama...OSU not so much. Go BUCKS!!!
***** that's the TTUN score btw. in case you meant 42-20 ;)
***** heisman winner Jammie Jammie Jammie???
Franklin Grannon at your service.
Lol u see the key and Peele?
"Ohio USED to have the some of the best high school talent." -Colin Cowherd
Me: Used to? Tf?
every time I see this, I shed tears of joy. Through all the adversity, trials, and tribulations Ohio State went through last year, to see them prevail against all odds and silence the critics...words can't describe the joy I feel. Hope we can repeat this year. O-H!!!!!!!!
I-O!!!
Devin Smith has to be the most underappreciated players from this team...dude was actually unreal.
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.
@@cellamuert 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.
Brought back some good memories watching this. Damn I’m gonna miss seeing Urban raise trophies to the sky.
Anyone else watching this waiting to play Clemson in 2019!?
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
Cardale may have been the guy to win it all and I’m not discrediting the guy, but JT was under appreciated in this particular season. A lot of us fans forget that he paved the road to this opportunity, then cardale jumped in the drivers seat. I’ll never forget the joy I had looking back on this season and I love my buckeyes for life!!! Can’t wait to have another year like this!!
Fantastically well edited. I‘m 60, and have witnessed a lot of OSU football. This team has (by far) the best tale to tell. Great job, Dreger.
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
Great, now how am I going to explain this man-sized hole in the wall at work.
This still gives me chills
One of the great stories in sports history.
Hollywood would reject the script as implausible.
perfectly produced video of the incredible season Buckeye Nation had.
Why does watching Cardale Jones give me the feeling to me go sprinting through the halls at work, and slam into everyone in my way?
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
That was the best video I've ever seen!
This is the best highlight package that has been put together for the complete story of the Buckeye's championship run. Absolutely epic and exactly what I have been looking for.
Best thing I've seen in sports! GO BUCKEYES!
I will never forget that season or that team. That was BY FAR the most incredible display of football domination I have ever witnessed from my favorite team. Losing Braxton and then J.T like that. I think most people wrote us off against Alabama, myself included unfortunately. But gosh did they prove me wrong. Thank you Urban for everything you have given Buckeye nation. We love you
watching this video nearly 2 months later still gives chills. What an unbelievable season! How many times did EVERYONE count us out and yet we kept fighting and undoubtedly PROVED we belonged!
BUCKEYE PROUD!!! O-H
I-O!
Agree! Me too
4 years later still getting chills
Best. Year. EVER. And for several parts of it I was in AGONY. And still rooted for them anyway. Which is half the reason why it was the best year EVER.
4 turnovers and still won by 28. Just shows how good they really were
Great highlight video.The Buckeye's season did so much for college football by validating the new playoff system in its very first season. This was "Rocky" in real life. If you are a fan of college football, you can't help but to have been enthralled by the team. If you are lucky enough to be a Buckeye fan, we can't help but smile. GO BUCKS!!!!
Awesome recap. I went to 2 games that year...Rutgers and the NCG. Great memories. I've often thought that this season (and the events that led to it) was deserving of a full length theatrical feature film.
I still get chills from watching this 😂. OH
IO
IO
This is thee best summary video of the national championship run by OSU. Brings a tear to my eye. True team that battled adversity all season. It's great to be a Buckeye!
Much respect and congrats to buckeye nation from a husker fan. you guys deserve it after all the media and ESecPN BS got shoveled your way. Now if only my huskers had this fire we'd be UNSTOPPABLE. Oh well, best of luck bucks.
Joey Bosa rocking the trophy is my lock screen lol
Good job Ohio State 🔝🏈🏆
Amazing season, one for the ages. Excellent work here. Nice use of Inception soundtrack on Alabama game, perfect.
This team was amazing.
I often come back and watch this just to remember the craziness. I was only 11 years old but I somehow knew at the time how special it was. I remember every moment vividly. From the first loss to the natty win. I don't know if I'll ever see anything more special. No one believed in us, except us. But that's all we needed. One of the best teams of all time. OH-
The best damn team that ever lived. The Ohio State Buckeyes!!!!
Lmao
Excellent work editing this with great music. It will never get any better than this for OSU football, we never dreamed the season would play out the way it did the last 4 games. This team made football fun again!
I just wanted to say that you did a great job on this video; this is probably the best highlight video I've ever seen! Perfectly captured the pain we've felt and disrespect we've endured over the last few years now eased by a championship run for the ages. Great job and Go Bucks!!!
I'll watch this at least once a week forever! Lol great work!
Lol me to probably this and the Championship dvd when it comes out! I still have the 2003 fiesta bowl on DVD and watch it all the time too. Now I'll have another to add to my collection! Go Buckeyes for life!
Yessirr!
Still a thrill to watch. I was lucky enough to see them in person twice that year.....Rutgers in Columbus and the NCG in Arlington, TX. I'll never get tired of watching this team. GO BUCKS!!!
Had to come back to rewatch this before Saturday. Lets go Bucks!
Man that was a special season, thank you Urban for taking this program to new heights. Ryan Day has some monumental shoes to fill!
This is a captivating video on an heroic season. I have watched it over and over. Congratulations on capturing the moments and emotions of the season.
Excellent video man!!Painful beginning to your video,but you have to go through hell sometimes to get to heaven.I think its funny that some idiots really thought we would fall into oblivion and be substandard.What they gotta say now huh?....Crickets chirping...GO BUCKS!!Great job you encapsulated our Buckeye Nation Super Season 2014!!
Gives me chills every time
One of the best teams ever. IDC!
What a great season and team to remember . The roster filled with NFL studs. Never seen a team get exponentially better through out the year as the 2014 Buckeyes did. Tons of adversity that year but the perseverance and leadership was top notch. Urbs coached his tail off, we will miss you coach.
I grew up during much of the Tressel era when I was born in '96. I sat through the tough losses and felt very upset and angry about some of the things that have happened. I never gave up hope. I watched these championship games and felt like all of the years of ESPN downing us, all the years of frustration, and heartbreak had been released. We earned this spot, we earned the championship. This highlight video makes me very happy knowing that we've overcome so much over the years. Go Buckeyes!
One of the greatest seasons I will ever remember they deserved that title never gave up no matter how many people were against them throughout the whole process.
This brought tears to my eyes. What a historical season for those guys.
I'd been waiting for a compilation video and you did not disappoint. Bravo! I can't stop watching it. The music, the memories...it's everything. I even shed a tear or two. This is the greatest story in sports history and I'll never forget this run. O-H !!!!!!!
November 22nd 2018 I still watch this 2014 team and get goose bumps. Let's win Saturday vs that team up north. Great video
What a season for the Buckeyes. So proud of them and it is great to be a Buckeye. Love them National championship game jerseys the Buckeyes wore. Just beautiful and a beautiful season. Thank you Buckeyes for this everlasting memory.
Sean James, it's an OHIO STATE thing, YES we, THE FANES, absolutely DO have EVERYTHING to do with being a huge contributor to their winning the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, as everyone knows OHIO STATE travels better than anyone. This is why we had more fans than bama or Oregon at those games. But you wouldn't know this because you aren't a BUCKEYE, and you went to the university of haters.
prob the best '14 season vid out there, great job and go bucks!
Being from Ohio, there's a lot of pride that we have in our state. I walk around in armed forces with pride for my home state and people always call me "Mr. Ohio" because of how much I talk about our state Is it about Ohio State football? Yes. Is it about growing up from the state as well? Yes...it's humbling when your representing your home state and fighting for this country and people always wonder why do you like Ohio so much? It's the blood of pride that runs thru our veins when you remember where you ran, fell on the ground, sweat, bled, breathed that motivates us to keep moving forward in life sometimes. Just a flicker of motivation is all it takes to look back at where you grew up and say, "Thank you Jesus for allowing me to grow up in such a great country and state"
Absolutely love the video. Brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps all over!
This is extremely motivating and inspiring. This season 2018 Season paralleled a lot from that 2014 season. Major obstacles to overcome but just an amazing group and effort.
That will most likely never happen again......a third string QB, being called in to take a team all the way to a National Championship! What a remarkable year, by a bunch of remarkable young men, and coached by a remarkable group of coaches! Thank you for showing America what it means to be a Buckeye! -Stephen, Ohio 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 O-H-I-O
Beautiful.
Best video to commemorate this unbelievable season! Fantastic job!
What. A. Season. Losses on and off the field, injuries, scandals, and still, they got it done, and epically too.
One of the greatest teams of all time! It was truly won by the entire team. Ohio against the world.
Forever, the brotherhood -- BUCKEYE NATION ! THE Ohio State University !
Excellent video my dude.
This is a legendary team
WOW, just WOW!
What an amazing compilation of the UNIQUE GREATNESS that is tOSU FOOTBALL!!!
Thank you so much for this!!!
one of the most magical seasons of all sports
The fact that Ohio State defeated the first and second ranked teams in the nation with a third string quarterback has to mean something. The Buckeyes were able to defeat the Heisman Trophy winner for crying out loud. To those who think that TCU could have beaten Ohio State, you'll have to forgive my skepticism. Virginia Tech played one hell of a game in The Horseshoe. Brewer played well that night. I'm not saying Virginia Tech got lucky. The Hokies were on the top of their game. Virginia Tech was definitely the better team that day. Penn State put up a fight too. All I'm saying is that loss to Virginia Tech wasn't as significant as the wins against Michigan State and Wisconsin.
The Buckeyes obliterated Wisconsin. Wisconsin was ranked in the Top 25 programs in the country and had a Heisman Trophy candidate playing for them. The Buckeyes overcame in the game against Penn State. The Buckeyes came back and beat Alabama after trailing the Crimson Tide for a considerable portion of the game. The Buckeyes are definitely deserving.
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 !
As a Buckeye fan, there was something more about the 2002 win over Miami that was lacking against Oregon. I'm fucking stoked we won it again but I'll never forget that goal line stand in 2002.
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.
Hands down, The BEST Highlight video Ive ever seen, and one amazing season from The Buckeyes. Devon Smith: Best Hands in College Football. Definitely worth all 26 minutes, Hell ill probably watch it again.
Outstanding!!! I feel like a had a front-row seat at the IMAX for the Buckeyes 2014 season. Incredible editing, sounds, music - hats off on a tremendous effort and job and tribute to our BUCKEYES!!!! O-H-
"TCU was clearly one of the best four teams in the country"...well the team that got in over TCU was clearly THE BEST team in the country.
Mmmmmmmmmm........
Gives me goosebumps through out the entire video!!!

Still damn near brings a tear 8yrs later... What an amazing season!
I don't think any season will ever top this one. I was a student in Columbus both nights we won. The celebrations after were some of the best nights of my life, especially after that Oregon game sealed the deal. It wasn't even about drinking, sure it was rowdy, but it was mostly just a huge group of euphoric people who all loved this team to death. God damn that was a powerful experience. A lot of us stayed up til sunrise just hanging out and talking about life and whatnot. It made a lot of diehard fans out of indifferent students.
After everything they went through, they played with the most heart Ive ever seen. They played every down like the game was on the line. They fought for every inch. Listening to Coach Meyer makes you realize he put everything he had into this team. You could see that the job was slowly taking his health with the amount of stress he put himself under. He was right there mentally and emotionally with the team every game. Just as the players are putting their health on the line, he was sacrificing a lot too. He's a winner through and through. But damn, I didn't really ever think about him as a human being. I think it was hurting his family too. You can see he's relieved to sit back and watch what he's built reach even further glory. Respect to everything Coach Meyer did for this program. It's looking healthier than ever. The culture of winning is something that can't be bought, lookin at you, TTUN.
Here's to hoping Ryan Day continues what Urban Meyer started - beating that goddamned team up north. We're off to a good start after last Saturday.
Ohio State 1st ever Playoff National Champions
Darren Lee is a beast for a 2 chance freshman. He has NFL written all over him, at least we get him for one more year.
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
So proud of my school, the players, and the community. :)
I really am tired of the phrase "in these troubled times", but I thank God that I had the good fortune of being at two of the greatest games I ever saw........the 2006 "Game", and the 2014 NCG in Arlington, TX. Great memories. If I never get to see the team in person again, so be it. God bless Woody, Jim Tressel, Urban Meyer and Ryan Day.
Crazy how every time Ohio State loses, the media tries to bring the whole big 10 down, just goes to show how dominant Ohio State has been and how biased the media is toward other conferences.
It's mostly SEC bias. Its ridiculous. The Big tens best athletes are as good as the athletes anywhere else.
