This forum post relives the thrilling 2002 National Championship game between Ohio State and Miami, highlighting the underdog Buckeyes' victory over the heavily favored Hurricanes. The author reminisces about the game's intensity, key moments, and the incredible resilience of the OSU team.
I had this as a post in today's 11W poll (Most significant NC game). I then showed the video to my wife, she actually high fived me when Krenzel completed the 4th and 14 in OT, like it was a live game. It was then I realized that this awesome highlight reel/game deserved its own article. The 2002 (season) National championship Game. That game, and the season were insane. OSU hadn't won a NC in 34 years.
You had OSU with a bunch of mostly no name players (at the time) going against the so-called greatest team of all time. Miami the reigning National Champions, on a 34 game winning streak and hadn't lost since Sept 2000. They had 11 starters (and players with significant playing time), that were future first round drafts picks. It was a mismatch on paper. OSU defense dominated that Miami offense, their previous low scoring game was 26 that season. Late in the game, OSU was driving the ball, Gamble was being held, and he caught the ball inbounds - This would have sealed the game and a 17-14 victory. The refs didn't see it that way, no holding , and ruled out of bounds. This unfortunately is not in the video below. Then Miami had a big punt return to set them up for FG to tie at end of regulation 17-17. In OT, there was the never forgotten late pass interference call, but something often missed in the memory of the game,Let's set the situation: 4th and 14, OSU down 24-17 in OT. Krenzel, who wasn't a great passer, had ice in his veins, was leading the play. The Buckeyes had Gamble and Vance on the left and Jenkins wide right. As important as Holy Buckeye was that year, the 4th and 14 to Jenkins was just as important, and even more clutch, because Miami knew the pass was coming. Here it is, in all it's glory. Turn your sound on, Paul Keels is making the call. ...This is a forum post from a site member. It does not represent the views of Eleven Warriors unless otherwise noted
