The Buckeyes lost one game but still made the College Football Playoff. Here are five key moments to getting there.
Winning at Wisconsin
Noah Brown caught a 7-yard touchdown pass on the first possession of overtime to give Ohio State a 30-23 lead. Wisconsin had the ball next and the Badgers got to the Buckeye 4-yard line, but failed to get in the end zone. Wisconsin QB Alex Hornibrook was sacked by Tyquan Lewis to end the game.
Bouncing back after losing to Penn State
Winning back-to-back road games at night is difficult for any team. Penn State had Ohio State's number. The Nittany Lions sacked J.T. Barrett five times in a 24-21 win. Marcus Allen blocked a field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have tied the game.
Beating Michigan in double overtime
Curtis Samuel scored the game-winning touchdown in the second overtime on an end around, but not before Ohio State had a scare. Quarterback J.T. Barrett got the first down on a fourth-down run on a play that Michigan disputed. Replays showed Barrett gained the first down and the Buckeyes were on their way to the CFP semifinals against Clemson.
