What plays in Buckeye History rank with JackSaw’s Pickerington-6?

So many great plays already listed but to me it is Jack's scoop and score for a culmination of factors (and perhaps a tad bit of recency bias). Local Columbus kid and lifelong Buckeye fan gets an 82 yard TD after sacking the Texas QB and old roommate at OSU. Obviously there's the fact we were most likely almost about to go into a tied ball game and that just cemented a title birth in the first expanded 12 team playoff in a year where we desperately needed it from Coach Day down to the players that came back or transferred in to have a chance at a moment like that.

Probably the best part is hugging my dad to the ground and absolutely going nuts, it was a really special moment to share and one we will never forget. The only other time we've done that was in the back of the end zone at Ross Ade Stadium when a perfect ball flew right towards us to Jenkins during Holy Buckeye. If I had a list on the top of my head and reading the other posts/videos (and including the personal meaning to each play and the fact that my memory doesn't go much past the '97 Rose Bowl), it would go:

1. Jack scoop and score (nuff said above)
2. Holy Buckeye (already said why above since we were right there, about 15 yards further and I could have caught the pass)
3. Zeke's 85 yards through the heart of the south (could easily be #1, I've back and watched that one a million times)
4. Ginn's huge punt return against scUM (referenced above by @Buckeye86 , that was just such an electric play from one of my favorite Buckeyes against our rival)
5. Gonzo's huge catch from Troy against scUM at their place (another one I went nuts and at the OSU camp that was showed to us in the Shoe and how that play happened, so extra special having Tress break that drive down to us)
6. I am probably ranking this too low only because it was a short pass in a very impressive drive, but capping off a Rose Bowl win against ASU with the Germaine pass to Boston (my first really vivid Buckeye memory growing up).
7. Samuel's TD in OT to beat scUM (stadium probably registered on the Richter Scale after that play).
 

Bosa Delivers a Huge Play When Ohio State Needed it Most

42388_h_0.jpg


Just when you thought you had seen Joey Bosa's signature sack shrug for the last time Saturday night, the standout sophomore defensive end had one more left in him.

With Ohio State leading 31-24 in double overtime, Penn State was facing a 4th-and-5 with the game hanging in the balance.

Bosa shot through the Nittany Lions' offensive line where he made contact with a Penn State running back, only to knock him directly into quarterback Christian Hackenberg for a game-clinching sack.



The play sealed the Buckeyes' victory and preserved what would have been an epic collapse after Ohio State blew a 17-point halftime lead.

“That wasn’t what I was supposed to do — I was supposed to hit the guard and wrap out but he blocked down so the hole opened so I took it," Bosa said of his game-clinching sack. "I was tired of trying to work my way around the back so I just ran him over.”

I would add that one to my list, one of the most badass plays and absolutely devastating way for the Peds to lose. I also won every quarter of squares on our big board at the alumni game watch and netted like $400, half of which went back to shots for OSU fans and celebrating the win...quite the night.
