The Ohio State Buckeyes are back on top of the college football world and the school released an incredible highlight film from the championship game.
Urban Meyer did it again. The head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes won his third national title after defeating the Oregon Ducks in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in January.

Meyer won his first national title since he guided the Florida Gators to the title with Tim Tebow as his quarterback in 2008 and his first with Ohio State where he has a 38-3 record in three years.
The championship was the first for Ohio State since Jim Tressel led the Buckeyes to a 14-0 season and a win in the Fiesta Bowl over Miami to win the 2002 BCS Championship Game.
Many counted out Ohio State before the season started after two-time Big Ten offensive player of the year, Braxton Miller needed season-ending shoulder surgery less than two weeks before the season opener.
The team rallied around redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett who broke some of Miller’s records and looked like a Heisman finalist before breaking his ankle against Michigan. The Buckeyes were eliminated from the Playoff in the court of public opinion after Barrett’s injury, but then Cardale Jones happened.
Jones led the team to a win over Heisman finalist, Melvin Gordon in the win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game to get in the Playoff where he defeated another Heisman finalist in Alabama’s Amari Cooper to advance and play Heisman winner, Marcus Mariota, and Oregon in the title game.
He wasn’t alone in the journey to the top of the college football world as we see in this awesome highlight video the school produced and Meyer tweeted.
