85 yards through the heart of the south is pretty tough to beat. I also remember Gardener laying on the ground in agony after the Powell interception being pretty amazing in the moment.
Yeah if I'm not mistaken, that interception was the same day as the Auburn Alabama kick six. I'm a huge Buckeye fan and I also dislike Alabama, so those two crazy endings in the same day were incredible!
That championship team was a special team. The whole lot of them. You had the best DBs in the country, the greatest DE ever in OSU history, a world class RB, a slew of WRs that anyone would beg for, an amazing OL and DL and not 2 but 3 QBs that all had incredible talent.
That whole defense was crazy also had bosa and McMillan. All ohio State do is put out nfl talent. Sad that their last championship was in 2015 i think.
But Jabrill Peppers won the DPOY because UM's bought-and-paid-for media got their rocks off at his "versatility." One pick. In his entire career. Hooker had at least six in 2016.
That Ohio state Penn state game where JT Barrett went unconscious in the 4th quarter still gives me chills when I see that last TD pass with Gus Johnson calling the play. My god it almost makes ya tear up
1 huge miss. The Cardale Jones 59-0 game that actually put us in the playoff we eventually won. Gus Johnson screaming "12 Guage Baby" will always be an epic memory. The experts were saying the committee couldn't put in a team with a 3rd string QB who had never started..til he dropped hung 59 on em. That's the most clutch performance that I've ever seen from a Buckeye. Certainly the most unexpected.
Hell, bring some Archie and Rex Kerns highlights, why not? Jack Tatum catching a 4th down, late 4th quarter goal-line leap over the line by Top 10 Purdue's great Leroy Keyes and stuffing him back. Perhaps an all-time defensibe play.
Alex Mueck dude was easily the best backup QB in the nation, and probably could’ve started at every school during that time outside of Ohio State and Bama (AJ McAaron)
These moments are why I love being an OSU fan. Remember watching that game vs Bama when I was in 8th grade. Didn’t nobody believe me when I said we was gone beat them.
Orbital Vortex Remember when Michael Thomas was a sophomore in the doghouse, got benched for the season? (Redshirted) That story ended quite well The best freaking WR in the league
Between 85 yards thru the heart of the South and then Curtis Samuel's 2OT game winner against ttun, had to be the top 2. I figured since it's just "best plays" I thought maybe Braxtons Spin Move would be #3.
Real buckeye fans remember watching that 59-0 proof that they were the best team in the country and he was a huge part of that. At least one of those rocker step fades that went for scores should have been in there.
This was a phenomenal video! The only plays I think you kissed were Shaziers strip of Ball at the goal line in 2012 and Darron Lee's fumble return vs Navy in 2014 and maybe the Ballard catch vs Oregon in the 2011 Rose Bowl as well as Hubbards combo tackle on the 2017 Penn State game. Once again, great video!
So many great plays, great players and great people! My kids will remember them after I'm gone. Legends are made at TOSU and they won't be forgotten! BUCKEYE NATION lives in Heaven!
I was in the stadium when the Buckeye's beat Jake the Snake's ASU squad. Most impressive play I remember was a Katzenmoyer's hit on J.R. Redmond (if I remember correctly that was his name). The TV replay did not do it justice, but being a few rows above field level, you could hear and almost feel the impact. The Big Kat met him head-on.
Love the TD pass to Devin Smith at Cal. Cal's coach stated after the game that it was sad that 75% of the crowd for a home game was OSU fans! Listen to the audio, unbelievable! Way to go BUCKEYE NATION out in Cali/West for the support! At 17:10...
Pryor, Braxton, Kenny G, *12 gauge* , JT , Dwayne Haskins, Just Fields... It's been a pretty good run so far, wish Joe B could have gotten his as a Buckeye tho.
Loved the Brax love on this list. The most underrated offensive Buckeye this century. The toggle switch against Va Tech, the UM run in 13, the Cal run, and the Hail Mary against Wisky. That game against Wisky is special to me. It's not often that we are home dogs. But when we are, THAT'S when The Shoe is truly ALIVE. On 85 Yards Through The Heart Of The South....When Bama was up 21-6, I switched places and got off social media. Totally worked. I hit my fist on my living room ceiling screaming, "HE'S GOOOONNNE!" Woke my kids up. Hahaha. The only inclusions I would have are the Michael Thomas 75 yard slant in 14 versus MSU, any Chase Young play against Wisky in 19, and Dobbins run against Clemson in 19(we won that game in my personal record book, we were better and we proved it the next year, no one can tell me otherwise).
@@woodyo2413 I don't disagree there. I was mostly going by that play didn't win the game at all. As Wisconsin still scored a TD a few minutes later to force OT.
This just popped up in my feed, definitely needed something like this, love how it's a video with commentary and not some basic music, really hoping we get college football at least this year.
I remember that game against TTUN in 2013. I was pacing around like crazy, especially when Michigan decided to go for two and the lead. After that interception, I was like "Whew". It took me about 10-18 hours to recover lol. Great video BTW! Go Bucks!
you know you’re jonesin’ for another OSU season when you spend your afternoon watching OSU highlight videos! Here’s to an amazing & undefeated OSU season! O! H!
I’m not even an OSU fan but I remember watching the Braxton Miller spin move live and I literally got off my couch cause I couldn’t believe it 😂 just too good
You guys should see what the next 5 or so years is going to look like. Ryan Day has been recruiting insanely good. The RB position, QB, WR are all stacked. TreVeyon Henderson in 2021 class looks insane.
If this college football season even happens, I can’t wait to see what our wide receivers do with Olave, Wilson, and Flemming. Those guys will be tough to stop
@@jefffeucht1577 it really was. I mean look at this Treyveon. Insanity. He is in a passing system as well. Can u imagine if we were in a primary run system
@@beauar1 Exactly. If they still used the I formation that’s one more blocker he gets. He’d be unstoppable. I think they were holding him back yesterday to keep him healthy for TTUN.
Thanks for putting together this video! Of course, with any attempt at ranking things, I'm going to have to squabble a bit with the order. The Spencer to Thomas has got to be #1!
Dont think I've ever been more excited for a football play than that eliot run against bama. I was stoked when the buckeyes beat Oregon BUT all buckeye fans know how satisfying it was to see them beat BAMA lol
Denzel Wards blocked punt against Penn State deserves to be on this list imo. Lucky enough to see 12 of these in person. Great video though, it just means more at OSU. Go Bucks!
Lmao, the order is all messed up, but there is some crazy stuff in here: DEs trucking people over QBs, LBs intercepting bubble screen passes, WRs throwing TDs... if you're a buckeye fan, it's a great time to be alive :)
Ohio state has been the class of the Big Ten in recent years. Also they need to bring back all of the alternate uniforms they were wearing a few years back.
That top 3 is accurate, hard to argue it but you missed some 2014 B1G Championship highlights with 12 Gauge. It was a blowout but the big plays in that game defined the entire decade
85 yards through the heart of the south is pretty tough to beat.
I also remember Gardener laying on the ground in agony after the Powell interception being pretty amazing in the moment.
Yeah if I'm not mistaken, that interception was the same day as the Auburn Alabama kick six. I'm a huge Buckeye fan and I also dislike Alabama, so those two crazy endings in the same day were incredible!
85 Yards through the Heart of the South a tough one to beat. Etched in my memory forever.
@Darien Rodgers 💯
Yup
Imo Braxton Miller is the most underrated buckeye of all time.
TRUE BUCKEYE ALL THE WAY
He was back to back Big Ten player of the year.....
JK Dobbins is
@@krysis1343 idk bro. Hes the number 2 rusher in Ohio State history. Passing Zeek and Eddie is pretty big
@@a.d.jenkins5835 yet he still didn't get the Heisman
That championship team was a special team. The whole lot of them. You had the best DBs in the country, the greatest DE ever in OSU history, a world class RB, a slew of WRs that anyone would beg for, an amazing OL and DL and not 2 but 3 QBs that all had incredible talent.
That secondary with Ward, lattimore, and hooker was insane
Trevor Summers And Conley
That whole defense was crazy also had bosa and McMillan. All ohio State do is put out nfl talent. Sad that their last championship was in 2015 i think.
But Jabrill Peppers won the DPOY because UM's bought-and-paid-for media got their rocks off at his "versatility."
One pick. In his entire career. Hooker had at least six in 2016.
Trevor Summers they are too good together
Lattimore is crazy good
The amount of NFL stars produced in this decade by OSU😭>>>>
I think any good teams top 50 are probably from their future nfl players
Zeke, Nick Bosa, Joey Bosa, Lattimore, thomas. McLaurin looked good as well. Just to name a few
CRMS00N Games Roby, Shazier, Apple, Hyde, now Dwayne Haskins, and soon Okudah, Arnette, Young, and JK
@@robertolebron2296 apple aint a star. Apples a bum
CRMS00N Games he’s in New York Giants so... yeah . What about the rising Terry McClaurin
It seems that Penn State having the final play against Ohio State never works out for them lol
Penn State has a thing about their QBs having their blockers tackled into them......
That Ohio state Penn state game where JT Barrett went unconscious in the 4th quarter still gives me chills when I see that last TD pass with Gus Johnson calling the play. My god it almost makes ya tear up
1 huge miss. The Cardale Jones 59-0 game that actually put us in the playoff we eventually won. Gus Johnson screaming "12 Guage Baby" will always be an epic memory.

That's the most clutch performance that I've ever seen from a Buckeye. Certainly the most unexpected.
85 yards through the heart of the south. Best play if the decade. It had to be.
I miss Braxton Miller😭
Must see tv
Yes love
Braxton Miller's VT spin move is the most electrifying play in Ohio State history. He probably holds the top 5 most electrifying plays.
Wow the greatness, that was just this past decade alone, the history of Osu is incredible. We need a top 100 for the past decade, too many great plays
Hell, bring some Archie and Rex Kerns highlights, why not?
Jack Tatum catching a 4th down, late 4th quarter goal-line leap over the line by Top 10 Purdue's great Leroy Keyes and stuffing him back. Perhaps an all-time defensibe play.
7:22 I'll never forget about Kenny Guiton's spree as a backup
That was amazing
Alex Mueck dude was easily the best backup QB in the nation, and probably could’ve started at every school during that time outside of Ohio State and Bama (AJ McAaron)
He was better than miller, definitely a better passer
Still one of my favorite players ever for the Buckeyes
Smooth Kenny G. Ohio State legend.
this video made me so happy. I miss Braxton Miller so much
Some bro I started really getting into the game back when he first started
Curtis Samuel catching a swing pass and reversing field to set up 4th and 1 definitely needs to be on here. Should be top 20
Hell yeah!!
Elliot's draw play was great. Evan Spencer kicked so much ass in that game. Jumping up on that inside kick saved the night, too......Lest we forget!
Onside kick!
So underrated!
@@thomasconway6843 Evan Spencer was all heart. He made so many great plays that game and most are very underrated.
I think we all know what the number 1 play was gonna be without even watching “can they catch him, no they can’t”
These moments are why I love being an OSU fan. Remember watching that game vs Bama when I was in 8th grade. Didn’t nobody believe me when I said we was gone beat them.
same here. i never had a single doubt we were gonna be victorious.
ZEKE 🔥
Perfect choice for #1
We all knew it was coming
Like a freaking locomotive
earl campbell nah the Michael Thomas and Evan spencer play should be #1 swung all the momentum and the throw and catch was just perfect
Disrespectful it’s not Atleast 2
Orbital Vortex
Helluva play😎
Orbital Vortex
Remember when Michael Thomas was a sophomore in the doghouse, got benched for the season?
(Redshirted)
That story ended quite well
The best freaking WR in the league
The only way TTUN doesn't get beat again this year is if there isn't a season. The only way. GO BUCKEYES
There were more plays vs Penn State than TTUN on this video. New rival?
@@michaelcap9550 exactly
@@michaelcap9550 the fact that you'll say one teams name and not the other should tell you TTUN is still our main rival and always will be.
AaronAlvin facts
Michael Cap Unless Clemson decides to join the Big 10, we have no conference rivalry in the foreseeable future.
What about Denzel Ward’s hit
They don’t allow videos that contain murder on CZcams sadly 😂
it was in the running. just missed but that only because it ended up being a flag
"You got BBQ back there... And you didn't invite me? HURT. MY. FEELINGS." - Gus Johnson
Kirk & Sponhour So what?? It was 100% an incorrect call. It should have been on there.
UrbanLegend yeah and shows why Gus Johnson is a GOAT commentator
When I saw this, I knew that Zeke's run vs. the Evil Empire, ahem Bama, would be #1
I said the same thing lol
You know it's meaningful when it carries its own title, "85 yards thru the heart of the south" 👍🤘
Still gives me chills!
Between 85 yards thru the heart of the South and then Curtis Samuel's 2OT game winner against ttun, had to be the top 2. I figured since it's just "best plays" I thought maybe Braxtons Spin Move would be #3.
85 yards through the heart of the South! It was truly a magical season and to think they thought we weren't deserving of it! We did it first
The Cardale disrespect on this list is unreal.
KHILLZ he played 7 games.
One of his touchdowns to Devin Smith in the Wisconsin game should’ve been on here.
Real buckeye fans remember watching that 59-0 proof that they were the best team in the country and he was a huge part of that. At least one of those rocker step fades that went for scores should have been in there.
A one hit wonder. He was clutch for the chip tho.
That's why we need a top 100 of the decade
This was a phenomenal video! The only plays I think you kissed were Shaziers strip of Ball at the goal line in 2012 and Darron Lee's fumble return vs Navy in 2014 and maybe the Ballard catch vs Oregon in the 2011 Rose Bowl as well as Hubbards combo tackle on the 2017 Penn State game. Once again, great video!
What a Beautiful trip down memory lane loved every second of it....Thank you! 😎
I needed it badly
“Can they catch him? No, they can’t!”
I already knew Zeke’s run was going to be #1
So many great plays, great players and great people! My kids will remember them after I'm gone. Legends are made at TOSU and they won't be forgotten! BUCKEYE NATION lives in Heaven!
The Braxton spin was my assumed number 1 going into this video.

The TV replay did not do it justice, but being a few rows above field level, you could hear and almost feel the impact. The Big Kat met him head-on.
I was at that Rose Bowl too. One of the few Cooper bowl wins
this was a hell of a compilation. The run through the heart of the south had to be #1.. love this video and GoBucks
That TD catch made by Thomas on the back of the OK receiver was insane!!!!
Watching this will bring tears of joy on multiple occasions. I saw all of these when they happened and reliving them is incredible!
That Devon Smith catch is criminally low
Travis Sloan I know I was at the game and it was crazy
One of those Dr pepper half time contestants could be Devin Smiths qb and homie would still catch it.. He was ridiculous
Andy Gygi they were actually down 3-0 at the time and sparked the offense to get out of the lull.
Love the TD pass to Devin Smith at Cal. Cal's coach stated after the game that it was sad that 75% of the crowd for a home game was OSU fans! Listen to the audio, unbelievable! Way to go BUCKEYE NATION out in Cali/West for the support! At 17:10...
To me, that play was the highlight of the 2013 season.
Pryor, Braxton, Kenny G, *12 gauge* , JT , Dwayne Haskins, Just Fields...
It's been a pretty good run so far, wish Joe B could have gotten his as a Buckeye tho.
Couldn't stand the thought of Joe B being successful in his SEC days. Wish him nothing but the best of course, now that he's in Cincy.
@@netdoctor1 its nice to think though we have so much talent we can't find room for the likes of joey burrow and jameson williams. we got dudes

I will never forget that Zeke run against Alabama. I got hyped watching it all over again.
The dagger through the heart of the south will ALWAYS give me goosebumps 🥵
Would loved to see Shaziers goal line forced fumble against Wisky. Think that won the game
Facts
I thought that would come in the top 15 actually
Great play no doubt. But ended up having not much barring on the game. Wisconsin scored like 3 minutes later to force overtime.
Robert Okuly there’s a couple plays on this list defensively that had less impact n importance
@@woodyo2413 I don't disagree there. I was mostly going by that play didn't win the game at all. As Wisconsin still scored a TD a few minutes later to force OT.

There are a lot to choose from. I like Ryan Shazier's goal line stand to seal a game winner against Wisconsin. He was awesome
#50 is so much more impressive than it gets credit for…not saying it deserved to be higher but for the difficulty of it it is so impressive
31:20 the silence before the cheer lol
#7: J.T. Barrett to Noah Brown.... The most incredible catch I've ever seen.

31 is way too low for Fields TD. Should be top 20.
Incredible play off the bench like that.

Here’s to an amazing & undefeated OSU season!
O! H!
I O . Took awhile , but I got ya covered !
Very cool.! I was in-person for a ton of these. Nice trip down memory lane.
Love that Berry's on this list. He put in work!! What a block for Hyde too
I think Bosa's walk-off sack of Hackenberg with the Penn State RB needs to be higher. But other than that, wicked awesome video. Well done!
I’m not even an OSU fan but I remember watching the Braxton Miller spin move live and I literally got off my couch cause I couldn’t believe it 😂 just too good
Phenomenal video, Kirk. Best 38:16 of my lockdown day. Go Bucks!
Top 50 plays--I loved them all. Thanks K & S! Just found your link.
Where was the Devin Smith deep ball at to seal the deal against Michigan State? Great list, but that was 1 huge play that was missed

Absolutely the most enjoyable Buckeye video on CZcams!
I was at that Braxton Hail Mary game vs Wisconsin. Absolutely crazy!!
so much fun! thanks for making this.
Carlos Hyde won us 3 games that year.. Joey Bosa making sack to end game getting both qb and rb in 1 shot was the best defense play I've seen..
Zeke will forever be my favorite buckeye. The year they won he was on fireeeeeee down the stretch. Best college rb to ever do it during those games
Phenomenal video. I know that took some time. Greatly appreciate your efforts. Liked & subbed
the fact that michael thomas ezeckiel elliot and joey boss where all on the same team is crazy
I was there for #11, the Olave blocked punt and Banks TD. The Game 2018 will be remembered by Wolverines as That Damn Game. Go Buckeyes.
Joey and nick are literal machines.
Thanks for putting together this video! Of course, with any attempt at ranking things, I'm going to have to squabble a bit with the order. The Spencer to Thomas has got to be #1!
Man, Kenny G. was one of my favorite players for a time. Came in when needed and did his job
11:45 is my favorite moment from this year. I love that kid, straight up dawg
Yeah, you could argue that the Zeke run might be one of the most iconic OSU plays ever.
The Braxton Miller/Carlos Hyde/Devon Smith trio was insane
Great video. So many memories. Awesome
the ultimate highlight reel. Kudos.
14:24 Pasadena at night, just beautiful
Dont think I've ever been more excited for a football play than that eliot run against bama. I was stoked when the buckeyes beat Oregon BUT all buckeye fans know how satisfying it was to see them beat BAMA lol
That was great. Thanks.
Justin Fields fresh off the bench with a brace on his knee throwing a dime to Garrett Wilson, amazin.
I'd take Kenny Guiton as my fantasy backup qb. Dude always came in clutch for us..
Love the video. Only thing I gotta say is flip 1 and 5. If it wasn’t for that play we might never beat Bama.
I miss Ohio state football :( screw you covid-19
Denzel Wards blocked punt against Penn State deserves to be on this list imo. Lucky enough to see 12 of these in person. Great video though, it just means more at OSU. Go Bucks!

Sweetness! -Stephen, Ohio 🇺🇸
Need a top 50 plays versus Michigan the last decade.
That 85 yarder by zeke at 1 doesn’t surprise me dude was an absolute monster at OSU
Wish Michael Thomas’s sick move against VT was one here. Can’t really argue with any inclusions, though.
Ohio state has been the class of the Big Ten in recent years. Also they need to bring back all of the alternate uniforms they were wearing a few years back.
Damn this is lit
Well Done!!!!!
I love this
Love the video
35:14 poor Bret Bielema didn't know what to do.
That top 3 is accurate, hard to argue it but you missed some 2014 B1G Championship highlights with 12 Gauge. It was a blowout but the big plays in that game defined the entire decade
The best!
