What plays in Buckeye History rank with the Scoop ‘n Sawyer, aka The Texas JackSaw Massacre?

I’m willing to dispute it. Holy Buckeye definitely saved that game and kept the dream season alive. But the team still needed to beat Illinois in OT and win The Game before playing for the title.

Sawyer’s play was in a playoff semifinal, and not only prevented a game-tying chance, it was a turnover and an 83-yard score to basically seal a victory. For me, it definitely ranks higher than Zeke’s dagger run against Bama and it’s my top Buckeye play ever.

But it’s certainly a more enjoyable topic than ’most painful loss’, which gets revisited more than necessary,
I think it’s in the eye of the beholder.

Maybe we’ve gotten spoiled over time but in the moment, the way things had gone for my lifetime up to that moment…..there has been no single play that made me feel like Holy Buckeye did.

Pure, unadulterated joy for the first time in my Buckeye experience (thanks Coop you fucking cocksucker). Something finally went our way.

When I think back, and try to remember the feeling it’s only Holy Buckeye. Sawyer and Zeke won us a NC (basically) on a single play and I was jumping up and down for sure but Holy Buckeye (and beating Iowa in ‘85) gave me hope.

The miserable sonofabitch in between had damn near extinguished that in me so Holy Buckeye took it back.

Lots of great things happened post Holy Buckeye but it was the OG. You don’t ever remember one like your first one (unless you are @Thump mom and so many have come ((pun intended)) and gone you can’t remember your first one).

#1 is indisputable but other than that, it’s a lot of fun to remember them and debate ranking them.
