I truly believe Ohio State's run in that first ever CFP helped to spark some magic for the event. It really gave it a "March Madness" feel since they were the overall underdog seed wise. Had FSU or Alabama won it all that first year it still would've been a great event and the fans would've all embraced it but again something about the lowest seed winning the whole thing and doing so the way they did it really helped propel the event.
Right this like the other said, seemed like osu always had that monkey on their back until this game too, plus the critics always saying they can't actually compete in the sec
The block Evan Spencer threw on that run was perfect, took out to Alabama players. OSU DOES NOT WIN that game without Evan playing the game of his life that night.
OSU alum here. I went to Va Tech game in Columbus early in that season and saw us get our asses handed to us. But that three game run of Wisc/Bama/Ore was the greatest in history that I’ve seen, and I’m not a young man
@@nedstewart1 good for you, but I’m not talking about a single game. I’m talking about a 3-game run of winning conference championship by 59-0 stomping, beating #1 Alabama and then beating #2 Oregon with Heisman trophy winner
@@osu4mul8r I agree and glad to see Ohio State finally getting a win against Alabama' The series is 1-4 for the Bucks losing to the Tide. & 1-4 against Clemson.. So in bowl games we have Ohio State being 2-11 against the SEC in Bowl games and in total Ohio State has a 25-26 all time bowl record. Correct? We have Ohio State with a losing record against every major team in the SEC team except for LSU and that record is 1-1-1 with LSU losing the game in the Shoe in the last few minutes of the game Correct?
Lol, let’s be honest though, after this game Alabama probably would’ve beaten Osu almost every year up to now. Probably would’ve lost to osu 2019 but Alabama would win all other times most likely
What an awesome team, and season! Winning it all with a third string quarterback! No other program will ever do what they did ever again! Love our Buckeyes! Alway’s have, Always will! Buckeye for life! 🌰🏈
it’s crazy cause we’ve had even more talented teams after this one but this one had the strongest brotherhood and it was just special. hope we get back on top next year 🙏
Terry Porter, Big 12. Sent to the booth the following year (and had been written up by Big 12 front office THAT season for costing a conference team a game by unnecessarily interjecting himself in a game).
That’s because the Tide was in it until the end and it just didn’t work out for Alabama. Fast forward to 2020/2021. Very few Buckeye tears because the virtual destruction of their team was well underway by the second quarter. That did my heart good. Roll Tide. Bama 3-1 vs OSU all time.
I was there. Drove to NO with 3 of my friends. Didn’t win lottery so paid $700+ for tickets but worth every penny of it. Almost cried when Zeke scored that TD. Celebrated the NYE in NO. One of the best day in my life. #OH-
My favorite play ever as a Buckeye fan. A dagger through the hearts of SEC fans that nighty. They were laughing at us before the game. Thought this would be a walk in the park.
Alabama has put 3 daggers in the hearts of Buckeye teams. So has Clemson. Good thing Ohio State is doing better in bowl games. Being 25-26 in bowl games is an embarrassment.
never forget walking back to bourbon street yelling Roll Home. You all were so cocky before the game. Your Dynasty is over and before you it was Michigan, USC and Ohio State. Everything runs in Cycles and Bama's run however impressive is fading. @@nedstewart1
I love the fans at 3:33, they looked so sad it made me happy. Cardale gives the greatest clutch performance during the title run and Zeke was other worldly.
Receivers blocking, qb running, line pushing it was so beautiful. I miss that mentality. We went into that game with one goal out man the man across from you!
All teams used to be tougher back then.. around 2021 is when they stopped for some reason.. all the championship caliber teams between 2008-2021 were much tougher and grittier just look at the size of those LB's compared to LB's in 2021, 2022 & 2023.. I know there are reasons for that but it just doesn't hit the same as it did back then.. luckily Ohio State got a young inexperienced bama team though because the next few years Alabama was another animal and the 2018 Alabama team with Tua was something else.. so was 2015 & 2016 Alabama but Clemson was really good those years too.. but now Clemson is irrelevant again and bama is still competing for championships.. that's the difference.. Alabama just doesn't fall off.. although they may not win each year like they used to, they are still in the run for it every year.. played our worst game against Michigan this year and was still the closest to beating them.. were starting to feel more like other teams do though because it's been a few years since we won a natty but we're still Alabama even without Saban.. I think there's even a chance we could improve in 2024 without Saban because Saban was getting old and stressed out and things were changing around him alot.. I'm still proud to be from the heart of the south and I would like another rematch against you buckeyes lol kinda like 2021 😏
From a Bama fan: What y'all accomplished in 2014 was amazing! Ohio State deserved this game and I was so glad that the Buckeyes beat Oregon to win it all. I thought that this would be the first of several Saban vs Meyer matchups, but it wasn't to be.
@rcp8069 That loss to Michigan State the following was probably the worst. Only had one loss and missed the playoffs. Still, Meyer is Michigan's daddy.
Was at this game with my dad. Big bama fans and it hurt but mad respect to this OSU squad. We were all pretty surprised y’all’s third stringer was leagues better than our starter for the whole year haha

I was at an Ohio State bar for this game, and the place absolutely erupted when he broke this off. I climbed on a table to celebrate it and the bouncer got mad and made me get down.
DeVonta Smith was uncoverable, Najee Harris unstoppable and Mac Jones impeccable. With a performance that was both surgical and explosive, No. 1 Alabama won the College Football Playoff national championship game 52-24 against Ohio State.
The perfect run play. Every man made his block exactly at the right time, in the right place. The strong safety took himself out of the play by lining up in pass coverage.
Yea sure. Fast forward and Collins is a 2 time all pro safety, one of the best strong side safeties in the league. And Cordale is.....probably running late for his 9-5 day job. Collins won.
@@rich_m88 bruh Cardale was a third string QB that won a national championship! Doesn’t matter where he ended up in life not many third string QBs can do what he did
Cardale Jones got drafted. And spent a few years in the nfl. The league minimum is 900k a season. He made more than that per season. That more than you or your dad could make in a lifetime!
@@rich_m88 Cardale good bro. What your feeling's hurt because he told the truth. Bro Cardale has his way in Columbus that man doesn't have to pay for 💩 and he be hosting and throwing local events for the community kid's. Plus be on 2 major Buckeye podcast regularly.
Preparing for the upcoming 2024-5 college football season. I come back about every six months and watch this again. Along with the full-length game against Oregon. Big smiles every time.
This was a big win for Ohio State and they earned it. As a BAMA fan the loss hurt but really respected Zeke doing his work that night. Was glad to see y'all again after the 2020 season to get some relief from the 2014 game. No smack. Always a big game for the CFB world. Just know that anytime BAMA and tOSU meet, game tickets and press passes will be hard to come by. Some game matchups transcend most all others. Roll Tide.
Zeke was magic and truly not talked about enough among us OSU fans. I had to buy a jersey and I'm not even one to idolize football players; just love the game. I believe if OSU had not had Zeke in his absolute prime, they would not have won the natty. OFC the O-line was great and Cardale and everyone else showed up, but Zeke was truly something else in his college days.
As a life long Buckeye fan well yes I do love these highlights. And the Buckeyes got there butts kicked last year by probability the best team in college football history. So be proud of who ever you root for!!!!!!! And GO Bucks!!!!
I'd still say Lsu the year prior was better. They literally beat the team Alabama fielded a year prior. I also think our team that lost to Clemson the year prior would have went toe to toe with both the Alabama and LSU squads.
And as far as the best team ever discussion goes, that's nearly impossible to determine. I'm a diehard Bama fan, and Bama has fielded a few teams that should be included in that discussion. But so has Ohio St, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, so on and so on. There's just way too many variables. As far as last year's Bama team goes, they were great, but not my favorite of all time. Some people want to throw in how many 4 and 5 star players are on a team, or how many first round picks were on a team. But without team chemistry, heart, and grit, all that don't mean shit. Once again there's too many variables. It hurts to say this, but in my opinion, the best team I ever watched, wasn't from Bama, they weren't undefeated either. The best team I believe I ever seen was the Gator team, after they lost the game to Ole Miss, and Tebow gave the speech, where he vowed to make it up to his coaches, teammates, and fans. And he did! I believe from that point on, for the rest of the season that was the best team of all time! Damn that hurts to say. Roll Tide💪
@@alexpratt932 They should've been better. After losing to ole miss and almost losing to Arkansas that year I was just happy Alabama even made it to the playoffs that year. A 3rd string QB means nothing now a days too. Alabamas 3rd stringer at one time was Mac Jones and we just seen what he did this past year including to Ohio St.
That’s what I love about college football! Yep, OSU had our number that night, but a team that wouldn’t be denied took it all to the house in 20/21! Let’s tee it up again in the Fall and see how it shakes out…Bama forever!
If we had Trey Sermon all game, a completely healthy Justin Fields, and some Defensive linemen we were missing, we five Bama a game and possibly beat Bama.
Northwestern couldn’t stop Trey Sermon, Clemson couldn’t stop Trey Sermon, and Bama wasn’t going to stop him either. Took 3 Bama guys to bring him down and it looked like the one Bama dude drove him into the ground with all of his might.
@@rickpritt1811 Whatever you say. Y'all couldn't stop Devonta Smith!! If we had a healthy Jaylen Waddle, we would've run the score up much much more. Ohio St. wasn't going to beat Alabama and the fact that you think so has me laughing so hard.
@@utahhoopsfreak8648 Some of us do, even I as a Bama fan pulled for Lsu in the natty cus they’re SEC and I get tired of hearing the SEC sucks every year lol. It’s been almost all SEC schooled winning championships for the past decade!
Can’t blame you for reminiscing….a more updated video will may prove otherwise. Kinda hurts to admit, the 2014 game was the high point of the Buckeye program of late…but the absolute domination by the greatest football team and program only proves one thing…from the first snap of the 2020 National Championship Game, the Buckeyes had absolutely no chance.
@@tommcclelland119 Completely agree. But y’all made our defense look like a high school team. Still want to see Kevin Warren fired. Conference commissioner is not for him.
Hard to not give the Buckeyes credit that year. 3 insanely tough teams in a row and they handled them. I was impressed by jones as a freshman stepping up like he did too. Now just expand the playoffs.

@@abyz1467 He's not wrong. OSU has choked every year since this game, and gotten blown out by unranked teams on more than one occasion. No wonder you guys hang onto this one.
@@theJukeboxHero40 Not trying to be mean, but the original point was that OSU hasn't had much to cheer about since this game. They've had a very weird stretch since 2014 with their playoff woes and getting blown out by Iowa and Perdue. Hard to believe since every media talking head said Saban was done and Meyer and OSU would be the new dominant power in college football.
@@marktastic86 OSU has had a lot to celebrate since 2014; southerners just don't care. Michigan 2018, Clemson 2021, Penn State 2017 are all great games that Ohio State fans cherish. Not to mention Ohio State's dominance of the Big 10. That stuff just doesn't have meaning to SEC people. Also 4 playoff experiences is something to celebrate. Alabama fans are the only people more spoiled than Ohio State fans.
I THINK something like 22 players who played in that game were drafted in the first 3 rounds of the 2015 and 2016 NFL drafts. Speaks volumes of those two programs.
@@ljrayburn322 They did, but it doesn’t change the fact that the one thing Alabama can NEVER be is the first National Champion of the college football playoff era 😉
The only time they ever beat Bama. But we had the last laugh! Now a WR from Ohio St. is gonna play for us left the Buckeyes for you guest it ROLL TIDE!!!
@@shieldofpistis9557 I would love to somehow circle back to this in later years. I would personally wager Day never even comes close to the championships Bama has. Look what Bama has to navigate each year just to get to the playoffs. OSU plays in a weak conference and is not prepared at the end of the season when they have higher caliber teams. That’s why you get thumped by Clemson on year and Bama the next.
@@marktastic86 Can you imagine Ohio State playing Alabama with no Southern or Texas players to carry the water for them? With out the South Ohio State has no national championships. Can you imagine Ohio State just using mid west players. It would be good for a laugh.
@@bgriss49 WHAT, Alabama has a cupcake schedule? 🤣😂🤣😂 It's not Alabama fault that Penn State is a mediocre football program. 🤔 Well come to think it is. Whether Alabama plays cupcakes or the best, they kick azz. The proofs in the national Championships Alabama have won.
Why Kiffin didn't run Henry more in the 2nd half after he was gashing them the few times he actually ran him and decided to keep throwing it with Blake Sims (who could be erratic) is the eternal enigma among Bama fans. Bizarre. But, this game was the best thing that could have happened for the next few years, as Saban decided that we had to get faster up front on D to handle the wide open offenses. It also convinced him not to overwork/overpractice before the playoffs and give the team a little more time to get their feet back under them, as he felt that the team was dead-legged for this game. Seemed to work well, as we reeled off 2 of 3 NC's the following years.
All time record: Alabama 4 wins , OSU 1 win. Need I say any thing more? Maybe that the largest margin of victory belongs to BAMA, 35-6 when the Bear beat the woody pecker.
I was at the game (I live in New Orleans), def one of the greatest games I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere was incredible. Sucks it was like 7 years ago already lol. I’m sure Bama fans have a lot to say after they absolutely roasted OSU this past title game.
OSU fans primarily brought that on themselves. They kept bringing this game up for years but failed to make it to a rematch game and when they finally did we all saw what happened. Games like this lead to the complete revamp of Saban's mindset on offense to the point he wants to avalanche you in points as opposed to letting his defense get all of the stops.
@@toska459 first off OSU fans brought nothing on themselves. So what if we want to bring this game up and relish in it. I'm sure you and your fellow fans will forever bring up the 52-24 beat down and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. As for your second statement, not going to disagree with you there. That's what makes Saban a bit more unique. Saban is simply a mastermind and knows what he's doing. Hopefully you fans feel fortunate having a coach like him.
I truly believe Ohio State's run in that first ever CFP helped to spark some magic for the event. It really gave it a "March Madness" feel since they were the overall underdog seed wise.

This was great because you knew we could do it, and you knew it was happening as soon as the first snap
This made my decade.
Yes
@@brianclemons5375 Your 1-3 against Alabama. You should not be happy until your 4-3 over Alabama.
And improve your 25-26 in bowl wins record.
My all time favorite Buckeye play!
Up there with Holy Buckeye
I was at an Ohio State bar for this game, and the place absolutely erupted when he broke this off. I climbed on a table to celebrate it and the bouncer got mad and made me get down.
Best year by any college football team in history. To go from Miller, to Barrett, to Jones and have that 3 game run to close it out…simply perfect
This run in this upset and then the Jameis fumble against Oregon, two great BCS semifinal memories from that year!
DeVonta Smith was uncoverable, Najee Harris unstoppable and Mac Jones impeccable. With a performance that was both surgical and explosive, No. 1 Alabama won the College Football Playoff national championship game 52-24 against Ohio State.
@@nedstewart1 and you have never gotten off the couch
@@nedstewart1 oh and what playoff game is Bama playing in this season?????????
One of the most iconic Ohio State plays ever
The perfect run play. Every man made his block exactly at the right time, in the right place. The strong safety took himself out of the play by lining up in pass coverage.
Didn’t hurt that Bama had 3 starters off the field!
There’s no asterisk in the history books that Alabama didn’t have all their starters. No one cares dude
If this game has an asterisk then the rematch this season Def will. Osu had a ton of players out to covid
@@josephhuffman2774 No one cares that Ohio State is 1-4 against both Alabama & Clemson
@@nedstewart1 That is true. I am happy you agree
That might be the best run in Ohio State history.
Collins got rocked several times by Cardale in this game
Yea sure. Fast forward and Collins is a 2 time all pro safety, one of the best strong side safeties in the league. And Cordale is.....probably running late for his 9-5 day job. Collins won.
@@rich_m88 bruh Cardale was a third string QB that won a national championship! Doesn’t matter where he ended up in life not many third string QBs can do what he did
@l GAYNIBBAMIDGET l yet you’re here too
Cardale Jones got drafted. And spent a few years in the nfl. The league minimum is 900k a season. He made more than that per season. That more than you or your dad could make in a lifetime!
@@rich_m88 Cardale good bro. What your feeling's hurt because he told the truth. Bro Cardale has his way in Columbus that man doesn't have to pay for 💩 and he be hosting and throwing local events for the community kid's. Plus be on 2 major Buckeye podcast regularly.
Preparing for the upcoming 2024-5 college football season. I come back about every six months and watch this again. Along with the full-length game against Oregon. Big smiles every time.
The background reactions during 5:27 is equally hilarious and heartwarming. I'm crying as I'm laughing.
NEVER.
GETS.
OLD.
This was a big win for Ohio State and they earned it. As a BAMA fan the loss hurt but really respected Zeke doing his work that night.
Was glad to see y'all again after the 2020 season to get some relief from the 2014 game.
No smack.
Always a big game for the CFB world. Just know that anytime BAMA and tOSU meet, game tickets and press passes will be hard to come by. Some game matchups transcend most all others. Roll Tide.
from a tennessee fan. thank you zeke.
And from a Bama fan, my cigar shop thanks you.
Zeke was magic and truly not talked about enough among us OSU fans. I had to buy a jersey and I'm not even one to idolize football players; just love the game. I believe if OSU had not had Zeke in his absolute prime, they would not have won the natty. OFC the O-line was great and Cardale and everyone else showed up, but Zeke was truly something else in his college days.
As a life long Buckeye fan well yes I do love these highlights. And the Buckeyes got there butts kicked last year by probability the best team in college football history. So be proud of who ever you root for!!!!!!! And GO Bucks!!!!
I'd still say Lsu the year prior was better. They literally beat the team Alabama fielded a year prior. I also think our team that lost to Clemson the year prior would have went toe to toe with both the Alabama and LSU squads.
Well said Fakey Fakefake! RTR!
And as far as the best team ever discussion goes, that's nearly impossible to determine. I'm a diehard Bama fan, and Bama has fielded a few teams that should be included in that discussion. But so has Ohio St, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, so on and so on. There's just way too many variables. As far as last year's Bama team goes, they were great, but not my favorite of all time. Some people want to throw in how many 4 and 5 star players are on a team, or how many first round picks were on a team. But without team chemistry, heart, and grit, all that don't mean shit. Once again there's too many variables. It hurts to say this, but in my opinion, the best team I ever watched, wasn't from Bama, they weren't undefeated either. The best team I believe I ever seen was the Gator team, after they lost the game to Ole Miss, and Tebow gave the speech, where he vowed to make it up to his coaches, teammates, and fans. And he did! I believe from that point on, for the rest of the season that was the best team of all time! Damn that hurts to say. Roll Tide💪
@@johnnyclemmons9756 don't forget the U. They should always be brought up when talking of best teams ever.
@@solofish358 for sure!

I'm so happy to be a Buckeye fan. Hell of a Rose Bowl game last night. Go Buckeyes!
this team was tough minded, the offense spent most of the 2nd half with their backs against there own goal line
Oh I bet, just like that 52-24 beating
@@adonis2684 the 2014 team was better than Alabama 3rd string QB and still won
@@alexpratt932 They should've been better. After losing to ole miss and almost losing to Arkansas that year I was just happy Alabama even made it to the playoffs that year. A 3rd string QB means nothing now a days too. Alabamas 3rd stringer at one time was Mac Jones and we just seen what he did this past year including to Ohio St.
*Their* efforts were not in vain.
@@adonis2684 kind of tough to be competitive when your team has ridiculously strict Covid testing compared to the testing down south.
Evan Spencer threw the nastiest block i’ve ever seen
That’s what I love about college football! Yep, OSU had our number that night, but a team that wouldn’t be denied took it all to the house in 20/21! Let’s tee it up again in the Fall and see how it shakes out…Bama forever!
Possibly the only rational Bama fan I’ve seen here. Can’t wait for this season to start 🍻
When you're so pissed at losing, you gotta find old games to make the tears stop
Yeah but they beat bama that night
@@mauriceboykin4422 Yeah but Bama destroyed them in the revenge game!! Roll Tide!!!
If we had Trey Sermon all game, a completely healthy Justin Fields, and some Defensive linemen we were missing, we five Bama a game and possibly beat Bama.
Northwestern couldn’t stop Trey Sermon, Clemson couldn’t stop Trey Sermon, and Bama wasn’t going to stop him either. Took 3 Bama guys to bring him down and it looked like the one Bama dude drove him into the ground with all of his might.
@@rickpritt1811 Whatever you say. Y'all couldn't stop Devonta Smith!! If we had a healthy Jaylen Waddle, we would've run the score up much much more. Ohio St. wasn't going to beat Alabama and the fact that you think so has me laughing so hard.
Believe me half the state of Alabama was loving every minute of it WDE
Thought you SEC folks stuck together?
@@utahhoopsfreak8648 Some of us do, even I as a Bama fan pulled for Lsu in the natty cus they’re SEC and I get tired of hearing the SEC sucks every year lol. It’s been almost all SEC schooled winning championships for the past decade!
Half the State?
Dude? Most people think Auburn is in Georgia.
GTFOH
Half lol???
So War Eagle hates Bama more than OSU? Good to know that not everyone plays into team SEC.
I cant get enough of Zeke watching himself score on the jumbotron 😅😂😂
Every time I see that 2 point conversion, I think the ball was going to #84, and it was incomplete.
Same actually😂
As a Bucks fan, you want to play the best and at least hold your own. Respect to Bama, they're a powerhouse.
Never gets old, you know both announcers are Bama fans😂
Right. Deck is against osu but yet we dominate.
@@BlackGrape97Ohio against the World
I can’t believe I got to go to this game at a young age this was an amazing experience
Can’t blame you for reminiscing….a more updated video will may prove otherwise. Kinda hurts to admit, the 2014 game was the high point of the Buckeye program of late…but the absolute domination by the greatest football team and program only proves one thing…from the first snap of the 2020 National Championship Game, the Buckeyes had absolutely no chance.
Wish that Ohio State team would have had a full non-Covid season. Think it would have been a MUCH more competitive game.
@@kjkegari I agree. And, if Justin Fields didn’t have extremely bruised ribs, it could have been a better match.
Right our defense was trash it needs to change or it’s going to happen again
@@RobertJ890 I was happy to see y’all whoop Clemson. It was a long time coming and it was brutal
@@tommcclelland119 Completely agree. But y’all made our defense look like a high school team.
Still want to see Kevin Warren fired. Conference commissioner is not for him.
I think everyone agrees this was the real national championship matchup that season.

Hard to not give the Buckeyes credit that year. 3 insanely tough teams in a row and they handled them. I was impressed by jones as a freshman stepping up like he did too. Now just expand the playoffs.
Tide fan here. OSU clearly deserved the national title for this playoff run. The Bama team they defeated here was excellent and super tough. You guys beat us fair and square.
(We got you back though in 2020 though!)

@@keylearning5746 I'm not a Buckeyes guy actually but I do root for them. I like bama too. Hard to argue against them and the titles they got. Just like brady they could have a few more but got beat right at the end. Always wonder what it would have been for saban if he never took the miami gig and stayed at LSU. Those fun "what if's"
@@MagaKoz - When has Bama lost big?
It's 2021 and still.like to watch this!
I watched the game. It was a classic. Smashmouth slugfest!!!!! And it was that close too. And as a Alabama fan. Ohio State earned my respect. And most of the guys. Are in the NFL too. Shows how Urban and Nick are the masters of collage football.
I was there and that play lit up the Superdome...truly epic and historic.
How many years ago and BAMA nattys was that?????
Your tears are delicious to all non Bama fans
@@abyz1467
He's not wrong. OSU has choked every year since this game, and gotten blown out by unranked teams on more than one occasion. No wonder you guys hang onto this one.
@@marktastic86 This is an iconic run, and it was a good game. Of course we hold onto it. Do you not watch Alabama highlights?
@@theJukeboxHero40
Not trying to be mean, but the original point was that OSU hasn't had much to cheer about since this game. They've had a very weird stretch since 2014 with their playoff woes and getting blown out by Iowa and Perdue. Hard to believe since every media talking head said Saban was done and Meyer and OSU would be the new dominant power in college football.
@@marktastic86 OSU has had a lot to celebrate since 2014; southerners just don't care. Michigan 2018, Clemson 2021, Penn State 2017 are all great games that Ohio State fans cherish. Not to mention Ohio State's dominance of the Big 10. That stuff just doesn't have meaning to SEC people. Also 4 playoff experiences is something to celebrate. Alabama fans are the only people more spoiled than Ohio State fans.
The most satisfying win in the most satisfying season in recent times.
I love how even when Bama is down a ton of linebackers they have two future nfl players in the game
I THINK something like 22 players who played in that game were drafted in the first 3 rounds of the 2015 and 2016 NFL drafts. Speaks volumes of those two programs.
Oh but that 2020 game. Roll damn Tide
it took corv 19 quit a few ohio st players out for alabama to win
Keep telling yourself that……
Bama fan here. Hoping to avoid a repeat of this lol
Me from the future Alabama beat Ohio State in the National Championship Game
@@jason-vip3791 They didn't beat them. They DESTROYED them!! Roll Tide!!

@@mmwosu Maybe so, but we've got the most national championships in the playoff era 😁😁
@@ljrayburn322
Yeah but you can never be first, you can only be next, and nothing can ever change that 😉😘

At least Osu had their day in court 52 - 24
Absolutely
The only time they ever beat Bama. But we had the last laugh! Now a WR from Ohio St. is gonna play for us left the Buckeyes for you guest it ROLL TIDE!!!
@@shieldofpistis9557 😂
Clown.
Yeah OSU got waxed.
@@shieldofpistis9557 I would love to somehow circle back to this in later years. I would personally wager Day never even comes close to the championships Bama has. Look what Bama has to navigate each year just to get to the playoffs. OSU plays in a weak conference and is not prepared at the end of the season when they have higher caliber teams. That’s why you get thumped by Clemson on year and Bama the next.
These teams were fucking stacked.
big time
Ohio State doing the lords work
You mean getting beat down by 4 TDs in January? Yep.....the Lord was sure smiling on his favorite team that day
Announcers: Let's see if Landon Collins comes back in after one play off.
Zeke: Nah, he can stay on the sidelines.
Ahhhhhh it never gets old!!!! Love it!!!!

Doesn't matter Bama got bigtime revenge this year.
I was on a Disney cruise during this game and was up on deck in the pool watching on this Huge 50 foot TV
It's nice to remember the one you won, I guess. Too bad about those other four times.
Yeah but did you see that 85 yard run thru the heart of the south?
You mean the 3 times you weren't even alive?
@@theJukeboxHero40 lol Ohio is both 1-4 against bama and clemson
@@jaycie3558 oh please. Our rival gave us a worse record than that. OSU overcame that and it can overcome 1-4
Never forget ppl thought osu should’ve been left out. Drive drive on down the field. Men of scarlet and gray.
52-24?
It could’ve been worst
Why Kiffin didn't run Henry more in the 2nd half after he was gashing them the few times he actually ran him and decided to keep throwing it with Blake Sims (who could be erratic) is the eternal enigma among Bama fans. Bizarre. But, this game was the best thing that could have happened for the next few years, as Saban decided that we had to get faster up front on D to handle the wide open offenses. It also convinced him not to overwork/overpractice before the playoffs and give the team a little more time to get their feet back under them, as he felt that the team was dead-legged for this game. Seemed to work well, as we reeled off 2 of 3 NC's the following years.
EXACTLY 💯.
I've been saying that for years. Give Derrick Henry the damn ball.
Anytime I see bama or hell any team down south go down it’s a good day.
The Civil War is over, dude. Let it go.
How ironic you make reference to the Civil war when your team’s Dominate color is Grey 🤔
@@edennard1
My team is crimson and white, sorry.
You don't have many good days during football season do you????
The South kicks the norths butt pretty regular!!!!!!
All time record: Alabama 4 wins , OSU 1 win. Need I say any thing more? Maybe that the largest margin of victory belongs to BAMA, 35-6 when the Bear beat the woody pecker.
I was at the game (I live in New Orleans), def one of the greatest games I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere was incredible. Sucks it was like 7 years ago already lol. I’m sure Bama fans have a lot to say after they absolutely roasted OSU this past title game.
Yes and no
It's only been a little more than 6 years. Hope that makes you feel just a little bit better.
OSU fans primarily brought that on themselves. They kept bringing this game up for years but failed to make it to a rematch game and when they finally did we all saw what happened.
Games like this lead to the complete revamp of Saban's mindset on offense to the point he wants to avalanche you in points as opposed to letting his defense get all of the stops.
@@chuckwest7045 yea I'm sure he feels a lot better now.
@@toska459 first off OSU fans brought nothing on themselves. So what if we want to bring this game up and relish in it. I'm sure you and your fellow fans will forever bring up the 52-24 beat down and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. As for your second statement, not going to disagree with you there. That's what makes Saban a bit more unique. Saban is simply a mastermind and knows what he's doing. Hopefully you fans feel fortunate having a coach like him.
God I love being a bucks fan :).
