Ohio State Football: Best moments of 2022
By Tyler Lyman
2022 was a year for Ohio State football fans, with ups and downs, there were undoubtedly some huge moments. Here are 3 for OSU football fans to remember!
Number 3: JT Tuimololau Dominates Penn States Offense
Tuimololau had one of the best defensive performances that have ever appeared in front of me. His stat lines are crazy, but doesn’t even compare to actually watching him play in this game. He has 6 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, and 1 touchdown. For a defensive player stats like that are beyond impressive, they are absolutely next-level.
His performance in this game will go down in the history books for sure.
Number 2: C.J. Stroud’s game against Georgia in CFP
Here’s what a post on the Eleven Warriors site had to say,
"“A championship worthy performance, against of America’s best defenses. Stroud left it all on the field. And he even RAN the ball for some crucial gains. The wide receivers and o-line also played well. CJ and the Buckeye offense put on a show and they totally deserved a win.”"
Stroud for sure had a great overall performance, going into the game many thought the Ohio State football team stood no chance to their defense. They were proven wrong. Ohio State likely would have won if Harrison was never taken out. In the end, Stroud played an amazing role against Georgia, throwing for 382 yards and 4 passing touchdowns.
Number 1: Kamryn Babb’s touchdown vs Indiana
Babb was in his fifth year with Ohio State. In a game against Indiana, he caught an 8-yard pass for a touchdown, which was the first touchdown of his career. For some, it might just seem like a normal touchdown, but for others, it was just a heartfelt moment. Kamryn had to battle through 4 ACL injuries and some other setbacks throughout his career. Another part that makes it even better, C.J. Stroud went up to Babb and told him he was proud of him.
All these moments had fans electrified and out of their seats!
