• 0:22
  Speaker 1: forty six years ago on Sunday the Miracle on Ice game.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: We almost had another miracle on Sunday as Bruce Thornton
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: tried his very best to drag the Ohio State team
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: best men's basketball team to a miracle win at Michigan.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: State didn't quite happen. However, did have another miracle win
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, US men's hockey team beating Canada two to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: one in overtime to win the gold medal for the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: first time in exactly forty six years. So on today's show,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about overtime. We're going to be
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: talking about the greatest Ohio State football overtime games. And
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: as always, we're doing it with the l Michaels of
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: our show. Tony Gerdiman at Bucky Huddle dot com. Tony,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I pulled up the history of Ohio State in overtime
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: games before we start looking at some of the greatest
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: overtime wins in Ohio State. I will tell you Ohio
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: State is eleven and two all time in overtime games.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Do you remember the two losses?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I certainly do. And the first one that I remember
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: trying to remember the name of Noah Herron and Northwestern
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: in two thousand and four, and then I believe it
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: was Danny Hope and Purdue in what nine who said
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the total High State fans to go ahead and get
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: used to used to these kinds of games.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Against Perdue that was twenty eleven was the year that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: they lost in overtime the area. But yes, that was
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: against Purdue in overtime. There that was one where Ohio
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: State had a they scored a touchdown in the final
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: minute and then had a pat blocked to send it
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to overtime and then lose. But yes, the two thousand
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and four black guys twenty eleven Black guys only ones
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to lose since overtime showed up in college football in
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six. So on today's show, Brittany talking about
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: some of the eleven wins, some of the biggest of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the eleven overtime wins in Ohio State history. But before
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: we do that, toty one more question. This is one
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: that I looked at and I was like, that can't
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: be right, and I went back and double checked, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it apparently is right. What is the last time Ohio
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: State went to overtime in a football game?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I believe it is the twenty sixteen, No, twenty eighteen
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Maryland game. Is that correct?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It is the twenty eighteen Maryland game. Yes, fifty two
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to fifty one. I thought that can't be right. I'm
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: sure there's been an overtime.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Game since then.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: There has not, in fact, been an overtime game for
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Ohio State since then, so it has been quite a while.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: But the Buckeys have played some very memorable overtime games.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And I put together a list of I'm gonna do,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I got it, I'm gonna do the five
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: best overtime games in history, and then I came up
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: with a list of six.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: So the sixth one that just missed.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Sorry, twenty fourteen at Penn State double overtime, the Joey
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Bosa walk off sack Number.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Five on the list. This is one. This is one
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: that I.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Think is probably very over looked in Ohio state football history.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Two thousand and nine.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: The Buckeyes beat Iowa clinch the Rose Bowl a Devin
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Barclay walk off field goal.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Do you remember that one?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: That one feels like one that just has kind of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: gotten lost among a bunch of others that have probably
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: been a little more impactful and bigger Ohio State seasons.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now, I remember that one for the Devin Barclay
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: walk off. It was like a I was number fifteen
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that year, but they had the same record essentially, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of course that was nothing ever easy against Iowa. I'm
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: just looking at the box score now, Brandon's saying, with
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a couple of long touchdown runs in that one. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: only remember that. I think maybe Cam Hayward may have
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: done something, but I remember the field goal and that's
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: about it. And I think that's about as much as
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: you dare to remember from an Iowa football game exactly.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: That is your brain protecting itself from you late era
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Jim Tressel and Kirk Farren's Iowa. It's like you know
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: one of those you know, those those eclipse glasses. You
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: do not want to look exactly directly at that football game,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: but it did send Ohio State to the Rose bowlt
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Number four. This is another one you definitely did not
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: want to look directly at, but it did lead to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a national championship season for Ohio State. That would be
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: two thousand and two at Illinois. I believe this was
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the week before the Michigan game twenty three sixteen. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: this is you know Iowa anywhere and at Illinois. Those
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: are two recipes for just like ooh, just not fun
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: football games.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: But that was one.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Where was that a Mo Hall I believe walk off
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: touchdown in overtime or double overtime?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Indeed it was I believe it was a pitch out
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to Mohall from Craig Cremzel. Now forgive me Tom. The
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: only one of the main reasons I remember this is because,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to tell you how long ago it was, I listened
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: to the end of this game in the parking lot
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: of Maxi and Aramis. So it's a real time capsule.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Walked into that restaurant, grabbed that phone in your booth
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and said, get me chocolate chip cookies right now. The
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Buckeyes just beat Illinois. I need a wooden turtle and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that bathtub full of ice cream toppings.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: You know. The funny thing is like that was for
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the two thousand and two season, in all those close games,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that was the first overtime game, well in school history
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: at that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Point, Yes, it was.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Buckeyes went from nineteen ninety six is when
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the rule changed, until almost the end of the two
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: thousand and two season without playing an overtime game. However,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they played a couple very very memorable games in the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: span of just like a half dozen or so games.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Because that they had that very memorable.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: One at the end of the two thousand and two
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: season against Illinois and then at the beginning of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: two thousand and three season forty four thirty eight in
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: triple overtime against North Carolina State.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: This is higher than on the list, and you probably.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Would think based on the fact that the two thousand
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and three season ended in the Fiesta Bowl against Kansas State,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and it was kind of a well, you know, not
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: almost but not quite kind of season, but man. Number one,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that is one of the hottest days I have ever
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: been a part of at Ohio Stadium. And number two
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that was that was a Philip Rivers led North Carolina
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: State team and that was just an incredible shootout, went
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to triple overtime and was about the closest you have
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: possibly come to seeing a team lose without seeing them lose,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: because that was a I believe that was one of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the Will Allen stops about a yard from the end zone.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I'd call it closer to about four inches or so
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: on Ta McClendon, who was a very very good running back.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: That was a game where.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Philip Rivers just etged his place in Ohio State football history,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you know, based on that performance because you talked to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: any Ohio State fan back then and it's just like
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: he was amazing. And the crazy thing is North Carolina
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: State had twenty eight first downs in that game. Ohio
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: State had fifteen, but they were both like three hundred
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and thirty six yards of total offense versus three hundred
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and seventeen for Ohio State. So yeah, all of these
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: overtimes and all of this scoring mostly because of the overtimes.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: But Craig Crens will throw in four touchdowns and three interceptions.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And this game was also one of those things where
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: when the Big Ten network started and they started to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: add to their catalog, this was always the game that
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I wanted them to throw in there because it wasn't
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: anywhere you can find it. It's not on ESPN Classic or
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: anything like that, and it took them years before they
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: added this one. But this was definitely a fun watch
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a frustrating watch for Ohio State fans as well.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that was a frustrating watch for fans of
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Ohio State defense. The next year when they played North
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Carolina State did not go to overtime, but that was
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a frustrating watch for fans of Ohio State offense because
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that was one where Ohio State looked like they were
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: kind of in control for the whole game and kicked
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: five goals and ended up winning twenty two to fourteen
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: at North Carolina State to close that home and home.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: That was not nearly as exhilarating as the two thousand
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and three version. Now we are to the top two.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going to guess most people can guess which two
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: games we're going to be talking about here. Tony. We're
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: going to start with number one at number two on
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: this list, the twenty sixteen game against Michigan. This is
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: one where I was visiting family, so I watched this
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: on a phone in the airport in Houston. As the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: door is like closing for my flight there, I'm like,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you'd better wrap this up quickly one way or the other,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: or I'm going to have a long flight wondering who
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: won this game. You were a whole heck of a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: lot closer because you this the the Curtis Samuel play
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: at the end of this game happened right in front
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of you.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that play, the JT. Barrett fourth down play, clearly
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: picking up the first down. How you can tell by
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you know, the ball was clearly over as everybody knows.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that Curtis Samuel play. I remember talking to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Pat alf Line after the game about that last play
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and he said, as soon as it was called, he
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: knew it was going to score by the way that
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: just everything was situated and what the Michigan defense was doing.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: So when that call came in, he was super excited,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and you saw the way it opened up. That entire
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: drive is interesting, including Curtis Samuel before that, reversing field
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: two or three times to make it a short call
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: rather than a long call on I think fourth down.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: So yeah, absolute classic and one that everybody will remember
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: happily for the way that it ended.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And that's another one where probably a little bit overlooked
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: because everyone remembers Curtis Samuel breaking the tape like a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: runner at the end of a marathon crossing into the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: end zone. Not many people remember Drew Durbin kicked a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: game tying field goal with one second left in regulation.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: That was one of the bigger kicks in Ohio state history.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Just kind of got completely overshadowed by what happened after that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Well and Tyler Durbin, but had missed two field goals
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: before that, including one with seven minutes to go from
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: twenty one yards out in the fourth quarter, and still
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, I got no choice, I guess
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: in this one, give him one last chance, and he
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: nailed it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: He did, so there you go.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: So that was the number two on the list. Number
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: one on the list. I'm going to guess you can
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: imagine what this is. Here's a hint. It took two overtimes.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: They played a team that they have played pretty recently
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: in history as well, the two thousand and three Festival
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: against the Miami Hurricanes. I'm going to guess that everyone
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: can name their seven or so favorite plays from this game.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, immediately after it was played, you had people calling
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: it the greatest game college football game of all time
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: until about what the USC Texas game a few years later.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: But just looking at the numbers again, fourteen first downs
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: to nineteen first downs, the running game for Ohio State
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: was completely stifled. You know, Craig Crenzel seven of twenty
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: one passing with two interceptions, no touchdowns, but he's the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: player of the game because of his running nineteen carries
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: for eighty one yards and along over eleven and just
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: plowing forward and just just doing whatever they could to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: pick up first down. See and Murray's Clurette combined for
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: forty two rushes in that game, and they shut down
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Clurette really well, except he had two touchdowns. And of course,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: one of the great plays in college football history is
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: him stripping Sean Taylor after an interception in the end zone. So,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: you know, a lot of great moments, a lot of
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: great plays. Roscoe Parrish returning a punt towards the end
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: of the game to set up the game tying field goal.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Had just a lot of things in this one, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: it's not the most entertaining watch I rewatch, I think,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: but there's so many big moments in it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one I think.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: That is a lot like the nineteen ninety seven Rose Bowl,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: which is another one that was potentially a national CHAMPIONIP determiner,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: where you remember it and you remember the end of
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the game, and you remember individual flashes of stuff, but
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: there were long stretches of like, this is not the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: greatest football game I've ever seen, but man, the way
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it ended, you're going to you know, you knew you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: were going to remember it decades and decades in the future.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And you've got Keith Jackson calling it mm hmmm, yes, definite,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: definite bonus points there.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And Brent Musburger on the ninety seven Rose Bowl. That
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: one did not go to overtime, so that is not
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: on this list, but there you go. I just thought
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you guys would enjoy that little Olympic hockey tie in
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and case you in case you somehow missed it. Columbus
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Blue Jackets defenseman dek Worenski with the assist on the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: game winning goal in overtime in the gold medal game.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Nice emotional scene at the end of their afterwards with
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the Wrenski and Jenny Gerdrou's kids and Johnny Goodro's jersey
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: on the ice as they're celebrating. So Columbus Blue Jackets
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the center of the hockey universe. I mean, I'm not
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: saying no.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I'm watching that, and I'm just thinking, imagine this in
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: twenty years or so when one or both of the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: dri kids as staking their own gold medal photo basic
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: you know, like and then boy, that was an amazing
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: watch and see them go into the crowd and even
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: get the kids and bring them back out their Yeah. Emotional. Indeed.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Well, we had a lot of fun talking Winter Olympics
