Ohio State clinched its sixth national title with a thrilling 34-23 victory over Notre Dame in the first-ever 12-team playoff. The game featured a key 56-yard completion from quarterback Will Howard to Jeremiah Smith late in the fourth quarter, dousing Notre Dame's comeback efforts. The victory was especially poignant considering the turmoil from a loss to Michigan just weeks earlier that nearly cost coach Ryan Day his job. This comeback tale resonated deeply with fans and players alike, marking a triumphant season turnaround for Ohio State.
The pass seemed to hang up there forever. Did it feel like seven weeks? Did it feel like 10 years? What a great debate for Ohio State fans to have forever.
It's a great story about a bunch of guys who have just overcome some really tough situations, and at the point where there's a lot of people that counted us out (they) just kept swinging and kept fighting.
