That play was a glorious capper, and an absolute guarantee we had it won, but for me, after we went up 21-7 my attitude towards the lucky charmers for the rest of the game was:

Close for me, to an extent. 28-7 was when I was saying "no way they score 28", but there was still a lot of game left, and they got within striking distance. The moment I KNEW we were champs was when that ball went into the air and the camera showed a wide open Jeremiah. If that ball is contested, then they were back in the game. JS being wide fucking open had me shouting for joy at the tv with my fellow Buckeye fans.

I knew right after ND scored their opening TD. The look on Leonard‘s face after that drive, I knew that they left virtually everything they had on the field during the opening drive. No way they could keep up with what they were doing running him like that. It was almost a concession that they had no other way to get it done.

I did think “there’s no way they can keep this up” but I was curious if our defense was wore out too.

If ND had kept running the ball well the second drive man it’d be hard for a defense to keep taking a beating like that

Were if and buts candy and nuts...

I didn't realize that he apparently went to their sideline and puked. I heard that after the game, but what I did see in that drive what that, even though they gave up a very long drive (length and time), we were still having some good individual wins in a lot of the plays. They just needed them to come together to have more of those wins on single plays. That's what eventually happened. I suspect that for as tired at our D may have gotten, their OL and Leonard were equally -- if not more -- exhausted.

I was less nervous than the Texas game but when they marched down the field and scored and then we immediately got into like a 3rd and 6 I was a little nervous. 8D Then nervous again when it looked like we might have one of the most disastrous collapses ever. I didn't feel secure till the Smith catch.
