- The 2006 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, played on January 2, 2006, was the 35th edition of the Fiesta Bowl, sponsored by Frito-Lay through its Tostitos tortilla chip brand. The game featured the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Ohio State Buckeyes, and resulted in a 34-20 Ohio State win.
Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith became the frontrunner of the 2006 Heisman race, after he completed 19 of his 28 passes for 342 yards, including 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. Notre Dame's Brady Quinn completed 29 out of his 45 passes for 286 yards.
Notre Dame got the 1st score of the game, with a 20 yard touchdown run by Darius Walker. Then Ohio State responded on a 6 play 86 yard drive capped off with a 56 yard touchdown pass to Ted Ginn, Jr. In the second quarter, off a wide-receiver reverse, Ginn rushed 68 yards to the left side for a touchdown. Then with just over 2 minutes to go in the half, Troy Smith found Santonio Holmes for an 85 yard touchdown pass, and Ohio State led 21-7 at half-time.
In the second half, Notre Dame scored on Darius Walker's second rushing touchdown of the game, to make the score 21-13 in favor of Ohio State. Notre Dame's defense forced two Ohio State field goals to make the score 27-13. With five minutes left to go in the game, Darius Walker got his third rushing touchdown of the game, bringing the Irish within 27-20. On third and five, with Ohio State using up the clock, the Buckeyes scored on a 60-yard touchdown run by Antonio Pittman to clinch the victory.
The Fiesta Bowl this season was supposed to choose either the Big 12 Conference champion or the Pacific-10 Conference champion as part of the BCS tie-ins for this season. The Rose Bowl served as the BCS National Championship Game this season, and the Pac-10 conference tie-in moved to the Fiesta Bowl as a result. Unlike the 2001 season, the Fiesta Bowl would not be allowed to match the Big 12 and Pac-10 champions, it could choose only one of them.
However, neither the Big 12 or Pac-10 champions would be available to the Fiesta Bowl in the end, as those teams, the Texas Longhorns and the USC Trojans, would finish in the top 2 of the BCS standings and meet in the Rose Bowl.
None of the other conference champions that earned an automatic bid were available either, as those teams would go to the Orange and Sugar Bowls. The Fiesta Bowl was left to take the 2 teams that earned BCS at-large bids, Ohio State of the Big Ten Conference and independent Notre Dame.

I remember this game well. And seeing Quinn’s sister not knowing what to do when he was getting destroyed lol. Buckeye and Cleveland fan here we loved him in Cleveland too bad they waisted him as they have many quarterbacks he did beat Pittsburgh one Thursday night so he will always hold a special place in my heart lol
Ah the sounds of ABC Sports with John Saunders on a Saturday afternoon.
RIP John Saunders BTW.
I hear that National Championship didnt turn out so bad!
Yeah marky
1:55:39 is _BEYOND_ hilarious!
lol, thanks for that
Didn't know the story behind the LB's long hair . Arute diagramming the importance of WR's blocking downfield was great to see .
Charlie weis will forever have schematic advantage.
2:16:30 catches the ball, takes three steps, fumbles the ball
Brady Quinn should have stuck with powerlifting
0:00
This is the end but the beginning is Vinnie Young on his hands and knees like are ole dog Ginger in game 1 dead tired from being chased by Hawk. A hair either way decides that game. Not sure this team beats Liniert and Bush push.
Gary Danielson may be the greatest to ever play his position. Don't know that much about his play.
But as an announcer / commentator he is one of the worst.
1:41:52 So cringe. Misses the target by a long shot and then an awkward proposal in front of thousands and watched by millions.
Song at 3:00:00?
Hang On Sloopy. It's Ohio Stat's version of, "Take me out to the ball game". It is sung every home game between the 3rd and 4th quarter.
