Kings of Columbus: Jack Sawyer's legendary play, Ohio State's fight to a new kind of win

[@aprilezell3784]

So well put. The backyard kid. I grew up in Cincinnati and we couldn't afford to go up to Columbus to watch a game. We watched every Saturday. So to see Jack and that team have that moment (as a sixty plus year old) I just couldn't have been happier. GO BUCKS!

‘02 was a catharsis. Hasn’t won a Natty since 1970 and suffered through Cooper for 13 years. We finally had a guy that got it. All hail The Vest.

Those who are not old enough to have been there cannot understand the greatness that was the 1968-69 season. We beat Michigan 50-14, then beat USC and OJ Simpson in the Rose Bowl. OJ came into the Ohio State locker room after the game and said, "You're the best ball team in the country and don't let anybody tell you you aren't. Congratulations."

[@imSethy]

Ive lived through the past two titles but ive enjoyed this team more than any of those past squads. The season itself obviously isn’t my favorite given the loss to TTUN, but I’ve loved Will since he got to campus, I love Jack, Trey and the guys from that 2021 class. The attitude these guys have and the way they genuinely seem on a mission makes me so happy to watch. Jobs not done, go bucks

[@MegaSlowe]

I'd have to say 2002, only because it was the first championship for me as a Cleveland/OSU fan of my life (born in 1969). Plus, who they beat, and how they beat them up along the way. It was the only game I've ever ran out the front door into the street screaming for joy, and this at 1am on January 4, 2003, when it was cold and snow on the ground. Never forget it. I also went to the celebration at the 'Shoe. It was the coldest celebration I've ever been to. Serious cold, but still worth it.

[@ianw.9185]

The biggest thing for me is just how quickly the team rebounded from Nov 30th. That was a devastating loss, and even with the expanded playoff, it's easy to see how that game would cause thw team to spiral out of control. Not only did they NOT do that, they got significantly better than they were all year, and did so in a 3 game run that is probably the toughest stretch in Ohio State history. One more game and this team can become legendary.

The fumble recovery definitely mattered, it stopped OSU from needing to get a 1st down deep in territory while UT had timeouts and only being up a td. UT could have got ball back with over 1 minute left to tie again.

Biggest Underdog in national title game history and rightfully so. Do people not remember how insanely untouchable Miami was? They won 34 straight games and then you throw in the Maurice Clarett strip on the interception? I can give some Credence to any old heads you were alive in 1968 but absolutely ridiculous to choose anything else besides the 2002 Buckeyes

[@thomascook4318]

I was born in 1950. When the faculty at OSU turned down the Rose Bowl invitation in 1961, it affected Woody Hayes' recruiting for several years. In fact, he said if we wouldn't have won at MSU in 1967, he and his staff would be fired. With the help of Lou McCullough, OSU had a great freshman class who would not be eligible to play until the next year. The "super sophs" were beating the varsity in practice. The next year, the "super sophs" beat Michigan 50 - 14 and then defeated #1 USC in the Rose Bowl (27 -16) to win the national championship. That season saved Woody's job. His last 10 years, OSU's record was a sterling 88 - 20 - 3 (81%). The Buckeyes were back. His last ten years was the "ten year war" Between Woody and Bo (Woody's former student and player). Michigan never seems to give Ohio State credit for producing their back-to-back coaches (Bo and Mo) who learned their trade at OSU. Those two Ohioans won 16 of Michigan's 45 Big Ten championships. Prior to their arrival in Ann Arbor, Michigan's football program was awful from 1951 - 1968.

[@Edward_USMC13]

@thomascook4318 that's an awesome story and I remember my old man telling me about the super sophomores and would have been cool to witness that's why I said the 1968 team has Creedence along with the 2002 team. The younger generation just doesn't understand how spoiled Buckeye nation has been even though we should have like a half dozen more national championships in the past 25 years

[@thomascook4318]

@@Edward_USMC13 I have been following OSU football since 1961 but have read about every book on the history of Ohio State football. The Buckeyes were close to winning national championships in 1935, 1944, 1969, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1979, 1996, 1998, 2006, 2007, 2015, 2019, 2020 (routed by Bama), and 2022.

It's close...... With the 2014 team alot of the fanbase thought we were done after JT Barrett went down. Cardale Jones hadn't started a single college game in his career and came in the 2nd half of the Michigan game and WON the game. Then the narrative was "OSU won't win a natty with a backup QB" they proceed to beat Wisconsin by 50 in the BIG title game. They were double digit dawgs against Alabama and then had to beat the Heisman trophy winner in Marriota and Jones did it ALL without skipping a beat!!

[@scottpoling5521]

Guys, in the comments section of almost any CFB show, there a numerous trolls acting like TCUN winning an effectively meaningless regular season game is equivalent to a natty and discounts any subsequent success by OSU as worthless. I think they do this in part because OSU fans have become deranged when it comes to the rivalry. Constantly revisiting the loss this year only worsens that. Let’s enjoy the moment and adjust our perspective. 1) Although many pretend that it didn’t happen, OSU DID win the game in 2019. Day can therefore obviously beat Michigan. 2) TCUN are called TCUN because they DID cheat their balls off in 2021 and 2022. Sorry, but those games don’t count. If someone cheats on a test, they didn’t get an A. They got an F. 3) TCUN teams Day was coaching against from 2021 to 2023 were significantly better than any of the teams Urban went against (w/possible exception of 2016 team), and he was doing so at a massive competitive disadvantage. So, sure, let’s be salty about 2023 & 2024 every now and then, but let’s enjoy the moment. Don’t give the trolls more power over you. The insanity surrounding this rivalry is negatively impacting the team and coaching staff. I lived in Michigan in 2020, and TCUN fans weren’t foaming at the mouth about The Game. They sure as hell wanted to win, but they weren’t comparing the losses to the death of family members.

[@alphapapa5383]

Yes, if OSU fans were thinking clearly, they would cling to the cheating not the loss this year that basically means nothing. Saban is the best to ever do it, and his response to D. Howard was spot on. IF they pull this off, no one but xichigan trolls will even remember or care about that game.

Crushed by USC. Lost a big game to Texas as well as a bowl game. Lost to Iowa 33-7 in 2004 and to Purdue in 2004 and 2009. Meyer gave up 55 points in a loss to Iowa and 49 points to Purdue. Lost to Michigan State in 2013 and 2015, both of which kept OSU from possible national championships. Got manhandled by Clemson in 2018 and embarrassed 31-0 vs Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl.

@@Dmb596 LIAR......only in the small minds of ignorant hater fans was Day's job in jeopardy. There has NEVER been a head coach with Days stats been fired in the history of college football.

@@Dmb596 No acting, a FACT. Only small minded ignorant fans wanted Day fired. AND they are meaningless. THIS is what would happen if Day would have been fired, Worse than what happened when Saban retired. Hartline would have left, with his 5-star WRs And Ohio State would not have gotten another 5-star WR. No more 5-State QBs would come to Ohio State. They ALL want to play for Ryan Day, THE best QB head coach in the country. All of the best players on the roster would enter the portal. The best players in the current recruiting class would leave. The best recruiting class Ohio State could expect would be 20th. It would be a decade of.500 seasons. Only dunces like you are ok with that. THINK......about it.....if capable NO head coach in the history of college football has ever been fired with the record Ryan Day has. Which is the best of all active coaches in college football

Asking those questions at that time doesn’t make you a hater or ignorant. On the other being a blind follower does make you a sycophant. He turned it around. Good for him, but don’t act like thinking it was reasonable to wonder if he should have this job makes you a bad fan.
