As a Buckeye, I hardly remember playing Oregon, but I will never forget Zeke taking it 85 yards "through the heart of the South" and beating the unstoppable Bama. As a 4th seed! With a 3rd string Quaterback!

Ezekiel Elliott, Derek Henry, Michael Thomas, Amari Cooper, Joey Bosa, Landon Collins, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, Tom Herman, Kirby Smart. There was so much elite talent in this game it is insane.

Who's here after Ohio State beat Clemson!!

0:08 If Ohio State jumps on that ball, it's a touchdown, and probably one of the weirdest starts to a playoff game that we'd ever see.

Michael Thomas, Zeke, Amari Cooper, Derrick Henry. God damn there were some studs in this game.

This was the real championship game. I was honored to be able to witness it first hand. Great football all around. Go Bucks!

First football game I've seen where I've noticed how good a game a punter had.

One of my favorite games of all time. BUCKEYES!!!!!

I bet Bama regrets recruiting Elliott as a DB

There were so many current NFL starters in this game. Unreal.

Is anyone here in 2019 comparing this year's team to the National Champion team?

the performance of Evan Spencer was absolutely huge. The throw to Thomas, the block that sprung zeke 85 yds for the clincher and that was a catch on the 1st drive of the game for OSU. You sir Mr. Spencer will never be forgotten.

The only reason this game was even close was because of OSU turnovers and OSU's failure to finish drives. OSU dominated this game.

Zeke became a legend on this night

One of the greatest college football games I've ever seen. Will always be one of my favorite memories.

That catch in the 2nd quarter touchdown by Michael Thomas made him a legend

I'm a Florida fan and usually root for the SEC in non-conference games, but watching Urban Meyer get his revenge on Nick Saban by outcoaching him to another National Championship (with his third-string quarterback) is freakin' outstanding. I'm ready for the season to start! - Go Gators!!

So glad we beat Bama. Was tired of the media hanging on their nuts.

Thanks for editing this video. Lived my first good 28 years in Ohio and last shit 17 in Texas. Was in Ohio for this game. It was a religious experience watching the Yankees beat up the Southerners. Thank you Buckeyes for a northern redemption.

let's be honest this was the National Title Game Bucks vs Bama either side was gonna kill Oregon!!! GO BUCKS!!!!

I STILL get nervous watching this! What a great game! GO BUCKS!!

Still not tired of watching this game go buckeyes!

First time I've re-watched this game since I was in NOLA; such a tough loss. A lot of people blame Blake for his struggles, or Kiffin for not running the ball enough. Personally I think most of the responsibility for the loss falls on the defense, 35 points should be enough to win a game if we want to be considered elite defensively. Either way, great game, congrats Buckeyes. All the OSU fans I came in contact with in NOLA were really pleasant people, it was nice to see so much mutual respect between two great programs.

As an Ohio State fan the biggest factor for our success in this game was Derrick Henry not getting nearly enough touches.

Amazing how many future pros were on that field. Michael Thomas' TD catch just before halftime was probably the play of the game. And Bama wasn't prepared for Cardale as a runner.

I love the OSU punter, I love OSU, but Alabama's punter really kept them in this game. He was crazy good

Fun as hell watching by far the two strongest programs in the last decade go at it.

here we go again...Ohio against the world

I'm so glad the Buckeyes beat Bama and won the national Championship proud to be a Buckeye Fan!!

Watching the condensed version of this game, I can't believe how great the special teams coverage was by both teams. So many kick offs and punts downed or players dropped inside the 20. Thank you so much for posting this.

And OSU was supposed to get *trampled* in this game....hmmmm...lol

This game was probably the most satisfying win in my lifetime as an Ohio State fan, and it all boils down to how much I respect the Alabama Crimson Tide football program. The Tide have been the gold standard of college football over the last 10 years and it was extremely satisfying to knock them off on the way to winning a football national championship. Ultimately, I'll look at the following year as the biggest football rematch of all time that never happened, as OSU returned virtually all of their core players from the championship team however Bama came back to win it after that disappointing loss to MSU. In today's football hierarchy, it feels like it's Bama, Ohio State, Clemson, and everybody else when it comes to perennial success at the highest level... although Georgia has a chance to join the other three given that they play in the SEC which gives them "street cred" but are also out of the SEC East which is a division that they have a chance to really dominate going forward if they're able to capitalize from last seasons success. UGA has always felt like a program that's ready to ascend to the next level by instilling a little bit more discipline, team mentality and motivation in their players since they've routinely pulled in some of the top blue-chip players and in decent numbers for awhile now.

Who back in 2021 Go buckeyes ‼️

Six months later... and I STILL love watching this! What an outstanding game between two all-time great teams!

Cardale Jones has the strongest arm I have seen in recent memory. This game was one of the best I have seen, the atmosphere was surreal.

That was the best catch I think I have ever seen by Spencer towards the end of the 2nd quarter, awesome just awesome!!! that is all that is needed to explain that catch.

whos watching this game waiting for the natty GO BUCKS

I never get tired of watching this game. Watching Ohio State outhit, outjump, out run, out physical, outsmart, and just flat out out play Alabama was a treat. The smug Alabama fans have no respect for Ohio State, and the Big 10 for that matter, and to watch us beat the pride of Alabama/SEC, right in their own backyard, was something special. They never in a million years thought they'd see their team get beat up like that.

This is routinely suggested to me and I watch it every time. So satisfying

Classic game ...2 sledgehammers going against each other. This game had it all and was fun to watch. So much NFL talent on both sides.

This OSU Team was my favorite while growing up and its good to see lots of these players in the NFL

Goodness I didn’t realize how many times Jalin’s helmet came off in this game lol... what a game though. Still my favorite OSU game of all time!

Devin Smith, OSU's greatest wide receiver, maybe ever !

This Buckeye team was excellent! Now look at the 2019 team!

A Third String QB, A Running Back cast on one hand...AMAZING!

Ever since this game, the NCAA has done everything in their power to keep us from winning another.

Ohio States w Urban Meyer beats ‘Bama w Nick Saban. These two coaches fought each other--Gators vs ‘Bama back in the days of Tim Tebow. Ohio is where I was born and lived to age 16 (Before moving to Utah--no I’m not Mormon.) so loving OSU! I got my undergrad and post grad classes at Univ of Utah. Then moved to Hawai’i in 1985. 2008--Hawai’i was slaughtered by the Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl...Most of us from HI were wearing slippahs (what you call flip-flops) and most were COLD. I had lived in Utah and had the requisite warm ski gear. An Hawai’ian neighbor said “I didn’t know snow and ice were so cold!” Well weather in HI is perfect--no snow or even cold weather. Never gets above 100 and never dips below 68. Jan, 2009--Utah Utes coached by Kyle Whittingham (who had been under Urban Meyer for 10 years as a defensive coordinator) became head coach when Meyer left in 2004 to go to Florida. The Utah Utes BEAT Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide 31-17...and it wasn’t close. Every time an Alabama fan sees me here in Atlanta, GA with my “Go Utes” license plate, they ALWAYS come up and make an excuse--“Oh we were tired from the SEC championship game.! One ‘Bama fan simply said “Utah was so much better! We were awful.” Urban Meyer made Utah a great team. We had no losses in three years and YET we were never named #1! Even in 2009 we ended up 12-0 vs “Bama’s 12-1. Yet they finished ahead of use in polls! Utes went from Western Athletic Conference (WAC) to MWC (Mountain West Conf) then onto the PAC-12 where we hold our own. Urban started at Bowling Green, OH where he was a special unit coach. Like Saban they both HATE mistakes as was seen here in this game! Meyer retired this year from his $7.6 million salary and multiple perks--own private plane, Golf club membership at one of Columbus’ best courses. to become an assistant head of OSU for $100K per year. (He’ll go nuts!) Jack Nicklaus went to OSU and all the courses esp the Scarlet and the Gray are superb courses. Nicklaus renovated both at no charge. Saban makes $7.5 million/yr and $400,000 increase each year PLUS substantial bonuses. In every state the highest paid salaries go to football and hoops coaches! Patently bizarre considering that the athletes get zip! Oh sure a free 4 year Bachelor’s--but finding time to go to class, study, and write papers is second to travel, memorizing the playbooks and two a day practices. College ball is a multi-billion dollar business. TIME TO PAY THE PLAYERS. Major League baseball has Rookie league, Single A to Trlple A...then The Show. Not football. Their “minor leagues” are college football and the NFL doesn’t pay a dime. No big salary to the deans of medical school or head epidemiologists at public health. Not the head economist that helps the governor and mayors with budgets. Heck the President of the US only makes $400K/yr--with unlimited time on AF1, and Marine One helicopters. Goes everywhere in a 13 car “parade” including an ambulance. The “Beast” the heavy armored personal car carries two bags of type-specific blood for the prez. Actually it’s time to end all American football. Too many head injuries resulting in CTE...one of the largest studies on the subject to date finds that 110 out of 111 deceased NFL players had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disorder associated with repetitive head trauma. Overall 87% of football players WILL get CTE! We turned Boxing into a nothing sport because the aim of boxing is to knock the guy out! That’s SEVERE damage to the brain!! The players with the worst CTE are NOT the wide receivers, but the D and O lines that get hit on every play. Don’t have to be knocked cold to get CTE. My good friend Junior Seau--nicest man you ever met...developed CTE, became violent and shot himself in the chest to die...so they could study his brain--CTE.

We just not going to talk about the opening kickoff Ohio State almost had an easy touchdown

As much as I hate Ohio State there is nothing more satisfying than watching Alabama lose.

Let me say that this was a bittersweet game. May family is from Alabama, so I grew up a HUGE Tide fan. But I was born and raised in the midwest and went to Purdue (obviously). So, while I was disappointed in the results, the B1G fan in me was happy and proud to see tOSU do it's thing.

Ahhh, the day that Bama fans got proven wrong but then the excuses started as to why the "overrated, non deserving" Ohio State Buckeyes beat the almighty SEC gods.

I need these sweet memories more than ever now with what Alabama has become. GO BUCKS!!!

27:51 that was a fumble and game over there. Bama got away with one but the Buckeyes still won!

Looking back at this, it’s insane how many pro bowlers were on the field that night. Helluva battle.

ZEEEEEKKKKKKEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Cardale Jones is just a tank when he runs hes got that big physical body that allows him to be able to run hard like that and be hard to take down

I've always been a Buckeye fan since I was little.

Ready to see my buckeye's do this again

Thank you Drew for the great editing. Decided to take a look back. What a game. 2 GREAT programs going at it!

Just read an article telling The Big Ten to come down south and play when its 98 degrees and 80 percent humidity lol. Got to be kidding me. A conference that plays in ALL weather conditions couldn't take the heat ,omg!

I'm amazed at how bad Trey DePriest looked. This is a kid that was seen as one of the best Ohio LB products to come out in years and there he was looking like a very out of shape nose guard. Not only did he look bad from a size perspective but if you just lock your eyes on him during play, he looks lost. He's always hopping around back there and sort of just moving around aimlessly.

The Frog has watched this game soo many times~ - Thanks for the video. Chills every time Zeke takes it To The House in the 4th~!

Please do more of these. Perfect way to enjoy the game again in quick order.

To beat Alabama and Oregon and 59-0 against Wisconsin with a 3rd string QB is INCREDIBLE. in my 48 years I have never seen a 3rd string QB start or win a national championship. To bad OSU didn't give Zeke the ball against MSU because OSU was much better than MSU and OU last year by a long shot just look at the NFL draft next to Miami best class EVER.

Should of been a rematch this year between these two

Defensive lineman dream….best commentator call of all time

If this was the BCS the title game would of been Bama vs FSU, but they both got pounded. I'm loving this new system.

Alabama's punter kept them in the game

24:55 still gives me chills

(18:50) was the defining moment of the game and it completely changed everyone's fate. When a defensive linemen intercepts the ball for a return touchdown in a very tight game,, it changes the momentum of the game for good. Terrible decision by Sims, it was 27-21 and Nick Saban likes playing a conservative game...throw the ball where only your WRs can catch it. That single play energized OSU's defensive, eased pressure on OSU's offense, built lots of pressure on Alabama's offense and demoralized Alabama's defense who was playing okay prior to that play. It gave Ohio St a double digit lead and the confidence and inspiration to secure a win that night.

Crazy freaking GAME, 12 Gage in the house!!!!!

SEC fans reaction: "But Tennessee beat Iowa" Big Ten fans reaction: "We'll take the wins over Alabama and Auburn"

That td t throw to Thomas was epic

What's amazing is all the players in that game that are in the NFL, both teams were stacked

Toughness made the difference in this game. Alabama was definitely a better team than OSU. But we were tougher. I mean just look at Jones. He ran through guys. I respect Alabama with all they've done. But nothing was stopping that 2014 OSU team. They were too tough

Who's here after Bama won 52-24

Wow this was a lot closer than I remember. Great game by both teams!

Love your 30-min. games. Great work.

Dude thanks for making these kinds of videos!

OK Bama, you're up 21 - 6 with 3 minutes remaining in the first half .... Then you got trucked.

Evan Spencer had one hell of a game. Too bad it got out shadowed by Zeke and Cardelle.

No matter who would have won the game, this was the most exciting game I ever saw. Respect to Alabama. But go Buckeyes

That OSU offense was glad to get off the field with all those big hits from the Bama defense

This is why they screw Ohio State out of the final four year after year. We beat SECs ass with our 3rd string QB and a couple freshmen.

I didn't see the actual game on TV. First time I have seen the game was this video. From what I read and heard TV analysts saying, I had thought the game was an Ohio State blow out. However, looks to me like this game could have gone either way. Alabama had a chance to tie or win the game at the end. Good game.

I’m an Alabama fan and I’ll be the first one to tell you that this Ohio State team was easily the best team in the country. Bama honestly had no business competing for a national title this year with poor QB play and an over reliance on Cooper.

Henry to Blake Sims @ 14:00 - "Where you going dawg?"

Revenge 6 years later!

I'm a die hard ducks fan, And you guys where the better team I respect you guys and congratulate you guys on the huge win u had against us. You did us bad, Great season guys. And your having a good one to this season. Great job Bucks! #GoDucks

I just wanna say: turn those field goals into touchdowns, half time is 28-21 OSU. End of the third it’s 42-28, final score: 50-35. Near blow out. Alabama got real lucky and I’d say add a touchdown or field goal for those drives osu fumbled when they were moving fast.

21:52 I don't know if anyone agrees, but to me that's pass interference.

It is interesting that Alabama had their Center and one Linebacker in this game from Ohio , and perhaps they had more of them from Ohio. If Ohioans are "slow" as they often say, why recruit them?!

Thanks for posting. First time seeing the game.

Something I didn't notice the first time I watched this game was how many unusual special teams plays there were. Also, Ohio St has four guys who could win the heisman going into next year and another who could easily win the Chuck Bednarik Award which is pretty crazy

13:59 Blake Sims runs the wrong way after the kneel down to end the half

22:33 those dudes were right, they were okay. The very next play was an int lol

The special teams coverage in this game other than one play was immaculate. Some amazing punts and it seemed like almost every kickoff return someone from the kickoff team would just come flying in as soon as the returner came out. Evan Spencer was probably the X factor in this one tbh. Obviously the throw which is probably the best throw I’ve seen from a non QB in football history, but the block on the Zeke run taking out two guys was just nasty work. Also the catch on the onside kick is probably one of the best examples of ball skills; great timing and those hands are strong asl being able to haul that in. I’m a Buckeye fan so I may be biased, but this is definitely a top 3 college football playoff game.

You can see how different the physicality is back in 2015 in comparison to 2020

Remember how no one gave Ohio state a chance in this game

I love how if that other returner on the opening kickoff didn't realize it was a live ball. Ohio States's first play would have been a touchdown the second they picked up the ball. (Dear Saban, please work on special teams a bit...)
