This Ohio State team was a pretty amazing team. Tough defense, strong running game, pretty conservative approach on offense, and well-coached. And, they played a pretty tough schedule to become the first 14-0 team in modern college football history!

This Game was my first Buckeyes game in my entire life! I was 11 years old! Thank you for this!!!

When I watch an older game from Ohio State and see Clarret I can’t help but think what a future this young man could have had. Somebody gave him some bad advice and while I don’t really know the entire story I sure wish things had turned out differently for him.

Clarett wore out WSU's secondary in the 2nd half. They got tired of having to tackle him. In the post game locker room interviews, one of WSU DB's told a reporter that Clarett was "like trying to tackle an SUV". That '02 team was just a hard nosed, scrappy team of overachievers that didn't do anything the easy way, aka the Cardiac Kids. Almost every game that year was a fight to the finish, and in some cases, past the finish and into OT, but they always found a way to win. Each game was like watching someone wrestle an anaconda. The victim would struggle for a while and seem like they may have a chance, but slowly, inexorably, they'd have the life squeezed out of them. Great D (love watching them) and special teams, with a ball and clock control O that did what they had to do to get the W.

Such fond memories

its a maricle winning a title with this qb

Lol, Darrion Scott tried to kill that man 25:50

Devard darling was lik that

Washington first TD the receiver pushed off. It should have been offensive pass inteference.

What kind of team would tOSU been like if Clarett would have kept his nose clean and stayed at tOSU. What would have been.

Maurice Clarett's coming out party.

This is the game when you found out the Buckeyes were a BCS contender..Washington State was good in 2002 and wound up winning the PAC-10 in 2002 ⁉🏈🏟Wazzu lost Rose Bowl game..Ohio State won the BCS National Championship..😆

Washington State finally beat a ranked Big Ten team, Wisconsin.Don't fall to angry Badgers. Go Ohio State!

25:51 YW

Watching these '02 games again, so many thoughts. Again, sometimes this offense was painful to watch; also, up by 3 scores why is Clarett getting 31 carries?!? No wonder he was hurt most of the season... we're up by 18 points running out the clock in the 4th quarter and Clarett is banging off linebackers running up the middle after he already had to leave the field once. Stupid! Stupid!! But my god that defense. ;) 7:37 15:18 19:22 25:50
