Freeman in the third year national championship game is impressive.

As a Buckeye, I can not say enough great things about the Notre Dame team and coach this year. You guys had an amazing season filled with great men.

[@kinch613]

Freeman is a great man and as a Buckeye fan and him being a former Buckeye player, I will say your post is all class. Congratulations on a great season. Yall are building and will get yours no doubt soon.

[@EB-bl6cc]

Yeah Freeman is insane. I'd say the job he did is the most impressive by far of any of the coaches. Sure Day did good, but he had Chip Kelly as his OC (which is an insane OC to have) and an absurd level of talent. Notre Dame was working with wayyy less talent than OSU and still almost did it.

[@robronske5627]

Notre Dame looked great and it sucks to come all that way to lose. I felt that way, thinking what if Ohio State loses. Other than that hats off to Notre Dame, Marcus Freeman and the team he has put together and Riley Leonard being a tough mother fucker going against that Ohio State Defensive Line and taking those hits over and over.

[@MageDetectiveAndre]

Imagine being a player playing for a coach and a team that you love. Your team has lost to the newbie on the block, lost to your rival, and can’t play for a conference championship. You are being told your team is underachievers. The coach you love is called to the chopping block. And it’s you and the team’s fault. You have only one path to make things right and save everyone. Run the hardest gauntlet to a championship and win it. Mission accomplished.

How you make a call with no safety help over the top in that situation I'll never know, but such is life. Anyway, we were in with a chance against a superior team at the end of the game.

OSU wasn't even the team that paid the most this year. Oregon and Texas spent more. You have teams like Florida State paying recruits thousands of dollars just to visit to school. OSU mainly just retained draft eligible players and every conversation at ESPN is about how much OSU paid. Hell Texas took Ewers from OSU by paying him 3X the amount OSU was (reportedly).

Timing is everything for this Ohio State team. If we still had the 4-team CFP, that loss at home to 6-5, 20-point underdog Michigan would have eliminated them (they were ranked 6th in the final CFP poll on Dec. 8th). Instead, they will always have the distinction of winning the first 4-team CFP and the first 12-team CFP. And their nemesis up north will forever be the team that beat Ohio State and Alabama in back-to-back games two years in a row. I'm betting that's never been done before!

[@lowellfultz1990]

Born & bred Buckeye here...the only down side to winning this is that Ryan Day will be allowed to lose to that team up north 3 or 4 more years before being let go now. You said it yourself Josh...that play to Jeremiah was open on 2nd down too, and I saw that also. I saw ND playing him all night 1on1 without getting torched for it. Watch the film from last night (and during the season for that matter), how many times Treveyon Henderson was WIDE OPEN in the flat with a ton of green in front of him, and we've seen what he can do in open space. It takes a special kind of coach to coach up the amount of talent that OSU had, ala Saban, Belichick. I may be proven wrong, but I still don't believe the Day/Kelly combo will be able to consistently win with big talent teams going forward. All of that said...GO BUCKS!!

Said when OSU lost to Michigan "theyre winning it all if Texas doesnt". Helluva season for OSU, i cant wait for August and to get to watch Texas vs Ohio State in Ohio. Is it August yet?

[@toddjohnson271]

Go Blue!....hopefully we have some QB play next year.

[@jewelz6028]

Will Howard was also paid. Don't forget that, but neither of these 2 teams get here without paying for their QBs....I love my Notre Dame Squad, but we paid Big Leonard for this moment and he showed out also...

[@southeastdaygo6193]

Ryan Day National Championship Head Coach. They said he couldn't, but he proved he can. Go Bucks 😎

[@danskiludvik8358]

OSU's last 6 games: Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, Oregon, Texas and ND. OSU lost one game by 3 points, with two missed short field goals and what was likely a concussed QB. Overall score differential: +93. Who does that?

[@mikelewis495]

That turnover was crucial. It let Notre Dame back into the game and they didn't quite take full advantage but man did they fight like hell. Props to them 100%. Go Bucks!

[@SolomonSupps]

"Alabama's trying that" bro Nick Saban pioneered it 😭

[@AbrahamknewJesus]

Same dude but now with power like Simba. I was wrong about Day. I thought his system was too flashy, too soft to win it all. Now I don't think we are going to lose another game from here to the end of time

[@Bucks2025CHAMPIONS]

Shout out to day I was very critical of him the last few years I’m glad he finally got over the hump

[@gregjacksun]

Day > Harbaugh Better win % Title in 6. Harbs took 9. Didn’t bail when things got difficult.

[@Iwollf74]

The Michigan game final woke up this ain't. It looked like the Bamas, Clemson, and Georgias of the past 10 years.

[@shewr4664]

Never doubted the Buckeyes…. If you all knew the discipline n expectations at the Woody you would know.. champions r made of this

[@GTUF]

Regular season has been ruined 😞

[@russelpedersen6703]

In a world where people chase money, these kids chased a dream. Congrats Buckeyes.

[@jewelz6028]

Christian Gray is the most polarizing player in the country. He has made huge plays at the end of game after getting cooked all night, but not last night. He had his chance on that last 3rd down to Jeremiah Smith. All night he was getting cooked why in the world was he man to man on Smith that last play ???

[@richarddexter7641]

ND had to get a stop, gambled with the blitz, and lost. It happens; I wouldn't get down on Gray for that.

[@Jnolan15]

Grey had a tough roll with all the injuries on the d this year. He played well in spite of being overworked

[@dentonyoung4314]

As a Michigan fan, I would like to congratulate Coach Ryan Day, the Ohio State players, and the Buckeye fans on their national championship. You still can't win The Game, but you won just about every other game. Enjoy basking in the afterglow until the 2025 season starts, like we Michigan fans got to do last year. And let no one ever say again that Coach Day can't win a big game. He can't win The Game, but he won four other very big games and now he has on his resume "National Championship Winning Head Coach."

[@denisdooley1540]

Can't beat Michigan? 😂 Funny, because he has. I know you'd like to block out 56-27, but Day was Ohio State's head coach in 2019. 😅 Spin all you want, we may not have won all the prizes this year, but we took home the biggest one and there is simply no way you freezer pop 🤡🤡🤡 can take the shine off of that.

[@dentonyoung4314]

@denisdooley1540 Ohio State hasn't beaten Michigan since 1 B.C., but a national championship is worth celebrating. (B.C. means Before COVID.) Smile and dance for a week and be happy. If Coach Cooper had won a couple of nattys no one would care that he couldn't beat Michigan.

[@Buckeye0103]

@@denisdooley1540ima buckeye fan but he is 1-4. Stop praising that 1 win that was urban Myers team. He is terrible against Michigan

[@j_karma]

​@@dentonyoung43147-5 after a tainted natty has to hurt. And the sanctions are coming. Hairball left you in ruins and watching you flounder for the next decade is going to be sweet. 😂😂😂😂

[@davidcole2337]

Went about like everyone expected.

[@LavishPatchKid]

It's crazy to think a team that wasn't even in their conference championship won the natty. It's like a plot hole in a movie you have to try and not think about to enjoy it. The worst part of this thing is it's the end of the 'Ryan Day choking' jokes. I'm going to miss them.

[@denisdooley1540]

Six wildcard teams have won the Superbowl. It's pretty neat the same thing.

[@TB2890]

Every time they change the format, the Buckeyes gotta show everybody how to do it. 😉

[@arodx34x]

Ryan Day deserves this, this senior class deserves this, this fan base deserves this (only the ones that still believed) can’t be more proud to be a Buckeye

[@DaveReece-u4b]

No one “deserves” a national championship. They’ve earned

[@tonsofgunsoffun8516]

I don’t know how good of a coach Day is. I’m not close enough to the program to know. But he’s a national champion and I judge coaches wins and losses so he’s an A+ coach. Now, he did have the best roster in football. And yes they had to pay for that roster. They get credit recruiting those players first but there is no chance they all stay without paying for them.

[@charlottejerde1021]

The most entertaining part of this video is the folks in the background getting their souvenir confetti and perfect SM pics with the expected confetti tosses likes it's new years again. 🤌🤌🤌

[@pjjohnson1036]

I know this is besides the point but I would like to point out that Kirby really never beat Saban. Yes the national title counts but Bamas receivers were knocked out of that game and where the difference in the first game that season. I think Kirby is great but I never really thought he slayed the Saban dragon.

[@jeervin]

Congrats to Ohio State, you were the best team this year. This game reminded me of the mid nighties NFL Playoffs, the NFC championship was the real Super Bowl. I think Ohio State won the national championship when they beat Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
