#11

Today we're going to the ground. This play is from one of my absolute favourite games of all time: the 2006 Fiesta Bowl. This was the tie-breaker game for the series between Ohio State and Notre Dame, with the teams at 2-2. Besides that major story line, there was also a more personal one. OSU star linebacker AJ Hawk was dating Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn's sister. But he obviously didn't let that get in the way of sacking the crap out of him.

I could post the entire game on here, but I'm just going with one play. The Buckeyes were ahead late in the game, and just needed one good drive to put it away. Running back Antonio Pittman took it upon himself to perform most of that drive in this one play. But there was more to the play than just the fantastic run. Watch, and you'll see...



Indeed. As the announcers said when they broke it down at the end, a perfect way to end a classic game.

That's why they're Ohio State.
