Another great Buckeye memory. I lived in Phoenix in those days and really enjoyed the Buckeyes coming to the Valley of The Sun. Thanks for uploading this game. Go Bucks!!
Everytime I rewatch Craig krenzel. I'm dumbfounded at how people called him smart and how we covered his mistakes and inaccuracy so much. Its literally mind numbing how bad he was yet we won a natty and a new year's six bowl with him.
@@MrJROOTS99 just because you major in biomoleculer science doesn't mean you're smart at football. And he wasn't smart at football. I know brilliant electrical engineers, but if you asked them to do the actual utility work they'd look like whiny teenagers.
That defense and Maurice Clarett is how they won a natty. If this team had even an average QB and RB they probably win another one. Krenzel and Ross were terrible.
He is smart! Doctor, and he made great decisions, not physically a great quarterback! Buckeyes deserved to win the Natty in 2022! They dominated Miami, out played them from the start!
People forget that this was almost the same Defense that won the National Championship the year before. This was the epitome of Tressel ball. All 4 dbacks for OSU played in the NFL.
Kind of an inexplicable bowl match-up--before the selections were announced, literally everyone was expecting a rematch of the previous year's Fiesta Bowl between OSU and Miami. But for some reason we got a Miami-FSU rematch (and they were also going to open up next season) in the Orange Bowl instead.
Kansas State was a much more exciting team to watch than Miami or Florida State in 2003. So really it actually made sense why the bowl committee picked them to go up against this Buckeyes team
I was at this game, and traveled five hours to get there from Encinitas, CA. So much controversy with the Ell Roberson incident...pulling for K-State all the way. Nevertheless, Ohio State's defense was amazingly fast on the sides, sideline to sideline. Sproles was checked too many times. Credit to OSU for that. Hope that K-State will meet OSU again in the future, with a different outcome.
I wouldn't count on it. Although I do have alot of respect for coach snyder and the program he built. They were a consistent top 25 team. He did a great job and got the most out of everything. They had a few top 10 teams. It's hard to compete at the very very top. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR NOT IN THE ESEC OR THE EACC. I cannot stress enough how ESPN pretty much owning both leagues really really shows favoritism that doesnt get talked about NEARLY enough.
@@justinhren3431 The ESPN bias for the regions you mention is pretty blatant. Regarding K-State, I am hoping that recruiting will improve under Coach Klieman, our new head coach as of the 2019 season. Coach Snyder recruited some amazing players to K-State, especially in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but the quality dropped off in the second decade. In any case, I appreciate what Coach Snyder did, and am looking forward to a new future. Ohio State will continue to impress, as always.
@@larryparis925 I was searching for his name mentally but it was late and my brain wasn't functioning lol. The B12 needs Kstate. Just like the B10 or 14 or whatever needs Iowa, ichigan st. And Nebraska. I certainly hope Kstate can get back to being the consistent top 25 team they were for many years. The whole ESEC situation bothers me on a level that u wouldn't believe. And although I am a Buckeye to the bone. I am not a homer. And something needs to be done. I don't know what but something. Any Thoughts?
@@justinhren3431 Pat Forde wrote a recent piece in Sports Illustrated about realignment (www.si.com/college/2020/06/29/ncaa-college-football-conference-realignment), with 10 conferences, 12 teams per conference; Ohio State, Michigan, and MSU stay together, Penn State is sent sailing to the "Yankee Conference", and Wisconsin to the "Great Midwest", with Kansas State, Nebraska, and Iowa! It's a somewhat "fun" read, with no basis in reality (other than geography, which is OK) and not particularly desirable. However, some ideas for realignment will be discussed before the TV contracts are up for re-negotiation in the next few years, as you probably know.
Most likely won’t happen that they will meet again! Ohio State is at another level, one of the best teams every year, K-State is not! No offense! But you really don’t want to see that beatdown Ohio State would put on your boys! Different league!
Typical tressel coaching with a 3 score lead. It’s hard to argue with his results but these games were so tough to sit through. I’m surprised more older fans didn’t die from heart attacks!! Watching krenzel keep the opposing team in another game was tough. That defense was stacked.
K-State was going to come back no matter what Ohio State called play wise. A ton of firepower on KSU’s roster. K-State offense and defense was just as stacked as Ohio State’s.
CATS looks pretty good considering they are playing the BUCKS. All those incompleted passes and this could have been a completely different game. The line held their own and had decent runs.
The reason Ohio State won was because both of their starting wide outs were all pro caliber NFL players that would have given any secondary fits. KSU still had a great team and played their hearts out to make it a one score game. Classic.
You knew at least with Tressel as our coach osu wasn't going to lay down like we did with pooper s-cooper ! In every big game ! Pooper was going to go 9 and 2 every year, lose to Michigan and the bowl game by double digits !
I loved JC, but after rewatching a bunch of games during Covid, I came to realize that his teams, however great they were, gave away too many games. Games that shouldn't or wouldn't have been close were either less than a touchdown wins or losses due to 3 or 4 fumbles lost a game. After that, I couldn't help but think that he most likely should have been fired several years earlier. A shame, such a great dude.
@@chethammer naw bro. Krenzel was always trash. Even tressel admitted that he was insanely inaccurate. Even in the natty season. A lot of those games were close because he couldn't hit a simple out route. He was trash. Which makes tressel coaching even more impressive.
Since he left Ohio st we haven’t had a Wr at Ohio st better then Micheal Jenkins Thomas has had a better nfl career but Jenkins was better in college could you imagine what Jenkins could’ve did with Haskins or fields
Bill Snyder said Kansas State had a ranking 😳 in 2003 it didn't 😳deserve.He hardly mentioned this game in his book.All the Coach said is he apologized to K State fans after game.
K-State absolutely deserved the top 10 ranking that they earned prior to this game. They won 7 games in a row in the Big XII including the conference championship. The Wildcats were on fire during the second half of the 2003 season.
@@nathaniellathy6559 Ohio State outplayed K-State in the first half but KSU definitely outplayed the Buckeyes in the 2nd half. The Wildcats gained more yardage than Ohio State on offense plus scored just as many offensive touchdowns. The only difference in the game was the blocked punt for OSU’s first td.
@@nathaniellathy6559 I would actually say the opposite. Considering Roberson was going up against a top 5 defense he played extremely well in my opinion. He had 294 passing yards against a team completely stacked with NFL talent everywhere.
“Getting ready for the NFL. Dragging the toe Santonio” this is some great foreshadowing
God bless 🙏
This coronavirus has some positives. I can rewatch these classics

If K-State would have had Terence Newman this could have been a K-State victory.
Ohio State has played a lot of post-season games in Arizona⁉🏜🏟Ohio State's performance vs. Florida in 2006 BCS Championship in AZ was disappointing.

Probably the best 2 receivers in CFB and run straight into the line . . . repeat .
Not probably. Its the best wide receiver tandem in Ohio State football history.
I forgot how pathetic the play calling was in that second half.
#GoBucks
It wasn’t the play calling K-State’s defense just put the clamps down and figured out OSU’s offense
Columbus Dispatch did a fantastic job covering the Victory
If it wasn't for the clock at the end K-state probably would have took it to overtime.
CATS looks pretty good considering they are playing the BUCKS. All those incompleted passes and this could have been a completely different game. The line held their own and had decent runs.
@ Darrell Schmitz u are correct... Krenzel was killing the O with his play.... They could've obliterated the Cats
The reason Ohio State won was because both of their starting wide outs were all pro caliber NFL players that would have given any secondary fits. KSU still had a great team and played their hearts out to make it a one score game. Classic.
OSU probably plays for another Natty if Clarett didnt go crazy.
Steel I have a great question for you, what bowl on your ohio state team was most fun to watch and one that was painful the most?
Shame these two didn't play in 1998

I believe 2 future Super Bowl MVP's in this game . Santonio and Sproles ,
@@JackycClark another reason I like watching these throwback games man
Krenzel was trash. Imagine this team with Fields, Haskins, smith, cardale. Hell even JT barrett and kenny guiton could have won a NC with this team.
