The Buckeyes’ victory marked their first national championship since 2014, when they defeated Oregon 42-20 in the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship. This win not only brought joy to the Ohio State faithful but also cemented the team’s position as one of the top programs in college football.
A Dominant Performance by the Buckeyes’ Offended

Defensive back Lathan Ransom was a standout performer for the Buckeyes, recording six tackles and an interception. Ransom’s play was a testament to the team’s depth and talent on defense, and he will be a key player to watch in the future.
A Hard-Fought Battle by the Fighting Irish

Hartman, who completed 22 of 35 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown, was a bright spot for the Fighting Irish. His performance was a testament to his growth and development as a player, and he will undoubtedly be a key contributor to the team’s success in the future.
A Championship-Worthy Performance
The Buckeyes’ victory over Notre Dame was a championship-worthy performance. The team’s offense, defense, and special teams all delivered outstanding performances, showcasing their exceptional skill and determination.
For Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, the victory marked a major milestone in his tenure. Day, who took over as head coach in 2019, has led the Buckeyes to three consecutive Big Ten championships and now a national championship.
“This is an incredible feeling,” Day said in the post-game press conference. “I’m so proud of our players, coaches, and staff. We’ve worked tirelessly to get to this point, and it’s an amazing feeling to be able to celebrate a national championship.”
A Bright Future Ahead
The Buckeyes’ victory over Notre Dame not only marked a major milestone in the team’s history but also set the stage for a bright future ahead. With a talented young core and a coaching staff that is widely regarded as one of the best in the country, Ohio State is well-positioned to continue competing at the highest level.
As the team celebrates their national championship, they will also begin looking ahead to next season. With a challenging schedule on the horizon, the Buckeyes will need to remain focused and driven if they hope to repeat as champions.
For now, though, the team can bask in the glory of their national championship. It’s a moment that they will cherish for a lifetime, and one that will go down in the history books as one of the greatest moments in Ohio State football history.
