What a huge victory for Ohio State football! I’m still buzzing over it and I don’t think I’m going to be able to wipe this huge smile off of my face for several days. I’m just a fan, so the amount of excitement the players and coaches must be feeling right now is unimaginable. Several of the players and coaches took to Twitter to express their joy of vanquishing the Oregon Ducks to reclaim Ohio State’s spot as the best in college football.
We’ll start off with King Cardale Jones, who in my opinion had the best reaction:
All I gotta say is…….. Hi Haters 👋

Ezekiel Elliott, who had one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in a national championship game with his 36 rushes for 246 yards and four touchdowns.
WE DID MAN. BEST TEAM IN THE NATION. LOVE MY BROTHERS. NEVER GONNA FORGET THIS GROUP OF GUYS.

He also had one of the best post game pictures.

And last, but not least the fearless leader of Buckeye Nation, Urban Meyer, who hoisted his third national championship last night. Without a doubt one of the greatest college football coaches of all-time.
