As far as I'm concerned, this was the true national championship game this year. Those were the best two teams in the country that year. This was the best Arizona State team of all time, completely hammered Nebraska. Ohio State's 1996 squad may be the best one-loss team of all time. Their best game was dismantling a dynamite Penn State team piece by piece (a Penn State team that some years would've won the national title), but had a bad half against Michigan. They shut out four teams and only allowed more than 17 points once.
As a Sun Devil who was there, thank you for this video. I watched it hoping the end would be different to no avail. 😢😢. And in a sick twist of fate, my son’s HS football coach ended up being Joe Germaine.
Thanks for sharing. I was at that game and being an ASU alum it was a tough pill to swallow. Both teams had some amazing NFL talent, especially OSU. Great game!!
Such a classic! Your channel is awesome! Would love to see more 1996 or 1997 Ohio State games, if you have any. Stanley Jackson and David Boston were both so fun to watch.
the game that finally taught me that Arizona sports teams will always, eventually, let you down
Proud member of Buckeye Nation here, I live in Mesa AZ which is Sun Devil territory. They’re fans still hate us because of this game 😂😂😂
that game made the sugar bowl the day after that game for all of the marbles

I was there...coolest buckeye game I ever attended. The final 4 minutes were loud and wild! Go bucks!
Joe Germaine was an underrated OSU qb

Mike Vrabel, Luke Fickell, Andy Katzenmoyer, Shawn Springs, David Boston, Orlando Pace. My Lord.
Never seen officiating like this game. Probably why they started reviewing the plays.

The final game for one of the best college football announcer duos of the 90s- Brent Musburger and Dick Vermeil

David Boston is doing dumbbell curls right now
This is the first memory I have of football.. iconic
Ohio State's Last New Year's Day Bowl Game in Pasadena until January 2010.
Can we discuss how shitty the FG kickers were during the entirety of John Coopers tenure?
