It's cheeky and fun. Like the championship belt, but even more American because it involves land theft.

FILM STUDY: A DEEPER LOOK AT OHIO STATE'S DOMINANT DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE AGAINST USC
"If you let that young man with those receivers just stand back and throw, you're not going to stop them."
Though Sam Darnold may not have finished the 2017 Cotton Bowl with either the result or stat line he wanted, Urban Meyer certainly came away impressed with what they saw from USC's star quarterback.
"We knew going into the game, obviously, he's going to be a top-five pick, the quarterback we just faced," Meyer said after the game. "He's every bit of it. I was watching him warm up and going 'whoa.'"
With one last chance to impress professional scouts and make his case to be the first player to shake Roger Goodell's hand this spring, Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano made sure Darnold didn't have the kind of performance he'd hoped for. Despite playing without standout cornerback Denzel Ward, the Buckeyes held the explosive Trojan offense to only seven points, which only came after a muffed punt gave them the ball inside the red zone.
As anyone who watched the game knows, the Buckeyes held the Trojans in check thanks to a tremendous amount of pressure brought against Darnold all night long, leading to four turnovers and eight sacks, the most produced by the Silver Bullets in one game in a decade. Although Schiano's unit has taken its share of criticism this year, especially after their uncharacteristically awful performance in Iowa City, the Ohio State defense didn't have to try anything new to make Darnold's night a miserable one.
Instead of unveiling a completely new look in hopes of confusing the Trojans, Schiano's troops lined up in their base 4-3 under alignment with two deep safeties, dropping free safety Jordan Fuller into the middle of the field and playing man-coverage for the vast majority of the evening.
Even without Ward, one of the best cover men in the nation, cornerbacks Damon Arnette and Kendall Sheffield proved more than capable against the Trojans' outstanding receivers. As a result, Darnold was regularly forced to hold the ball longer than normal with no one open downfield.
Though he had an up-and-down season and drew criticism from some for drawing multiple penalties while in coverage, Sheffield stepped up in Ward's absence. The former blue-chip recruit more than looked the part as he blanketed Trojan receivers and broke up a season-high four passes.

A coin flip that doesn't flip is a result that is well within the rules of randomness. There was no reason to redo it.

Ohio State won the coin toss, so there definitely wasn't any reason to redo it.......
