2002 #2 Ohio State @ Illinois No Huddle

2002 Ohio State Buckeyes @ Illinois Fighting Illini

[@RETRO_BELL]

Greatest season of my life.....every Saturday was amazing!!!! I can still remember where I was during each game of 2002

[@nmbassy]

31:15 one of my absolute favorite plays in OSU history...Krenzel was a flat out gamer.

[@gerald4133]

Did you see the dime he threw to his recovery I think franklin against Purdue?!! He was a biochemist he went to OSU for a education. Craig Kreinzel, Andy Katsenmoyer, Joe Germaine helped beat ASU. My cousin had a family member on ASU. A bunch of relatives left Ohio to go see it. And my cousin rooted for ASU.

[@davidhedrick4153]

This play embodies what Krenzel was to this team. It resulted in no points, but took another 3 and a half minutes off the clock.

[@tcramesgaming4768]

back when QBs werent scaredy cats

[@ala2417]

L. Ross/M. Hall had no vision and they were not elusive! Definitely missed Clarett this game and the following season! 💯

[@Enarjay7891]

ALA 24 nailed it

[@brandonchilds9160]

No vision at all

[@buckeyevinnie8456]

[@HotRoute7]

Lmao Ross was nothing but a fish outta water

[@josephchafins752]

Makes you wonder what if…

[@Aphexrain38]

This game was very stressful to watch but Krenzel worked his magic again.

[@RMB42]

Krenzel and OSU were robbed of a TD @ 7:53 in the 1st Q. That was incredible effort by CK to scramble, extend, and get that ball inside the pylon while still inbounds.

[@squigglyline2813]

No stadium in existence has a more important coin toss. Tres ALWAYS put the wind at his back in the 4th qtr in Champain |ll whenever possible.

[@nospam3327]

Haha, this defense was unreal 3:15 3:21 9:45 (setting up a 3rd and 42) 14:50 23:25 25:45 37:39 and of course they hold on for the win Ok, also, Krenzel gets an honorable mention for the craziest most impossible scramble I have ever seen 31:16

[@scottsnyder5524]

I miss Brett Musberger!! What a voice for radio/tv

[@scottsnyder5524]

Look how they ran stuff then. Smh. Oh man!

[@scottsnyder5524]

I think I took 2 pills back then. No shit. Vs. 500s

[@timnewman8690]

The year that every break went OSU's way

[@fsca72]

More like solid defense kept the games close when the offense wasn’t firing.

[@darthgallion]

Tressel’s game plan was to use elite defense to force opponent to make mistakes. This is just how he did it. Lots of close ones because of this

[@buckeyevinnie8456]

So true!!! Checkout my youtube channel show BUCKEYE VINNIE , please watch my vids and sub to my channel thanks.

[@BuckeyeGuy85]

Tim Newman the year that natty went our way too 💪

[@BuckeyeGuy85]

@@darthgallion I really enjoyed Tressel ball. Not many Buckeye diehards did but I found some nostalgia in the smashmouth running, exceptional special teams and strong defense!

[@HotRoute7]

“Going for the ballgame” with 11 minutes left

[@Sportsgeek1991]

I miss old school CFB

[@brandonchilds9160]

Dustin Fox was Toast this game

[@buckeyevinnie8456]

Yeah he was!!! Checkout my youtube channel BUCKEYE VINNIE, please watch my vids and sub to my channel thanks.

[@RuffRyder_43]

Illinois had some really good WR’s that were a mismatch for him. He bounced back nicely though in the National Championship Game against Miami.

[@davidpeck3912]

David Thompson & Kenny Peterson!

[@joelspencer9233]

I forgot about how valuable Thompson was to that defensive line... big guy and a solid player.

[@coltonswindell689]

As a Ohio State fan that last pass in the end zone looked like a touchdown for Illinois. 38:40

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Buckeyes had their share of luck in '02 for a change

[@aaronrider4051]

Notice how at the end of regulation, the officials permit the clock operator to run out THREE WHOLE SECONDS following the tying field goal. Hahahahahhaha.

[@SuperfanDK]

That ABC clock is unofficial

[@dshiznit12a]

Andy groom mike Nugent tressels favorite players

[@squigglyline2813]

Nugent's miss should have an asterisk and a🌀symbol next to it in the record book on this day...........

[@nathaniellathy6559]

What's with the field goal attempts. Some things never change 😂😅

[@JackycClark]

WR was not a glamour position for Micheal Jenkins . That young man was very good and always clutch , but he took a beating game after game .

[@kraisonpetrovdo7891]

Tressball!

[@Fresh-tw7ev]

Witvoet the referee tried to screw Ohio State on the blown TD call in the 1st qtr. changed the complexion of the game.

[@truck_yeah_440]

39:08 If Doss doesn't bat that pass down, they hit that slant for a touchdown.

[@scottsnyder5524]

Groom instead of Nugent? Bad call. I remember

[@aaronrider4051]

Jon "The Feutjer" Beutjer, LOL

[@mattcomer6379]

Ohio State could have easily lost 5 games this season

[@gerald4133]

But they didn't I like LSU - OSU. 🐅 I live down South now. Watch out for those Aggies!

[@scottsnyder5524]

They shoulda beat us that year. No shit. Pitifull.

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Ohio State didn't have it easy home away or neutral field in 02

[@clydepodvin5026]

I'm a big buckeye fan but krinzel should never have been a quarter back

[@BuckeyeCory]

What??

[@dshiznit12a]

Crack is whack

[@pronkb000]

You're confusing Krenzel with Steve Bellisari. Now there was a square peg if I ever saw one.

[@RMB42]

Without CK in '02 there would have been no NC

[@nathaniellathy6559]

At least he was willing to run with it. Some games he couldn't do anything else

[@gerald4133]

Illinois Always plays OSU Tough!!
