Ohio State football brought home the hardware to Columbus after winning their first National Championship since 2015, and the first-ever for head coach Ryan Day.
In case you missed the action, we have everything from player interviews to the trophy presentation.
Media Day madness
Buckeye Donuts or Dunkin’ Donuts? We asked the players that question and more at Media Day ahead of the big game. Check it out:
- Their one word to describe the National Championship feeling
- Their “greatest of all time” picks in categories like candy, Ohio State football players, and movies
- Rapid fire questions, including which player puts on the best music in the locker room
Pregame prep
We attended Ohio State’s open practice in Mercedes-Benz stadium. Did you know they warm up to “Hang on Sloopy” on a continuous loop?
When it came to game day, the pregame action got even more exciting. It was a star-studded event with celebrities and athletes like Travis Scott and LeBron James in attendance.
Of course, Buckeye greats like Archie Griffin and Chase Young were there as well. We even got to chat with Cardale Jones (reminder: he was on the previous National Championship winning team 10 years ago).
Postgame party
Confetti dropped and the trophy was raised as Ohio State cemented their names in the history books.
Will Howard won offensive MVP, but Quinshon Judkins was another outstanding performer. Judkins had three touchdowns and 100 rushing yards, and he showed us his touchdown celebration dance after the game.
Then one last time for the 2024-2025 season, the Buckeyes signed off with Carmen Ohio.
Thanks for an unforgettable season, Buckeyes.
