Initially, it appeared as if both teams were preparing for a shootout, with two substantial touchdowns scored within mere minutes of each other during the first quarter, suggesting a high-scoring game might ensue. However, this proved to be far from reality, as the two sides collectively scored just 23 points in the subsequent three quarters. Regrettably for Ohio State, their offense could only muster two field goals in the second half. Remarkably, though, these kicks were enough for them to secure a win.

The decisive moment in the match occurred during a 59-yard touchdown pass from Jeremiah Smith just before the break. Without this score, Notre Dame would have been ahead at halftime. It’s hard to say how the course of the game might have changed under different circumstances. However, Ohio State managed to hold onto the lead for much of the remaining time.

With last night’s victory, I’m thrilled to say that Ohio State has claimed its ninth national title in our school’s storied history! This triumph also signifies the first National Championship we’ve secured since the 2014 College Football Playoffs. Though it remains uncertain which of our Buckeyes will write more history in the NFL, every single one of us on this roster can now boast about having achieved this major milestone.

Despite Notre Dame not securing victory, the season under Head Coach Marcus Freeman has been nothing short of sensational for the team. Since his appointment in 2021, the squad has experienced unparalleled growth and reached the pinnacle of NCAAF competition. There’s plenty to be proud of with this team, and it’s promising to think they’ll return to such heights soon.
