The Ohio State football program is the national champion of the college football world. They took down Notre Dame 34-23 in a game that they took control of early. Their first drive of the game showed that they weren't going to be stopped easily offensively.
On that drive, the Buckeyes had a great play early in the drive that was one of the most important plays of the game. Jeremiah Smith was able to convert on third down to keep the drive alive early. He capped the drive off by scoring a touchdown to tie the game.
That play is something that the Buckeyes have seen before. It was actually a play that was used against them four years ago in the National Championship against Alabama. The Buckeyes stole that play to use it against Notre Dame, and it worked to perfection.
Chip Kelly steals a play to score a touchdown for the Ohio State football team
Chip Kelly made sure to study tape from past years and clearly liked this play. Take a look at this from the McShay Show on the Ringer, which really shows how each play is set up. They are identical plays and the Buckeyes ran it to perfection in order to score.
Everyone knows that Kelly is a football junkie who just loves coaching the offense. He was tired of all of the other stuff that goes along with being a head coach, which is why he decided to leave UCLA and become the offensive coordinator for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
The Buckeyes were able to win the game thanks to more great play-calling from Kelly. Adding him to the staff was one of the chief reasons why Ohio State was able to win the national championship this year. Ryan Day's trust in Kelly is a huge reason why Kelly even decided to make the move to Ohio State in the first place.
