Ohio State trolls Notre Dame and more social reaction from the Buckeyes’ win
The legend of the eighth seed came alive for the Ohio State Buckeyes when they defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 34-23 in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday.
Ohio State quarterback Will Howard led the Buckeyes to the title with an 80% completion rate for 231 passing yards with two touchdowns. Running back Quinshon Judkins played a significant role with two touchdowns of his own.
Though the Buckeyes’ opponent, No. 7-seeded Notre Dame, wasted no time in scoring on the first drive of the game, Ohio State made history by becoming the only team to win a CFP championship after allowing an opening-drive touchdown, according to ESPN Research.
In response to Notre Dame’s opening score, Howard threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Jeremiah Smith to cap off the following drive, beginning the Buckeyes’ 21-point second quarter to leap ahead of the Fighting Irish.
The win marks Ohio State’s ninth title, and first since the 2014 season.
Social media went into a frenzy after the Buckeyes’ win, including their social media account with a Brutus Buckeye graphic trolling Notre Dame.
Here is how the sports world reacted to Ohio State’s national championship victory.
