Ohio State football reacts to Georgia’s dominant national championship

On Jan 10, 2023

The No. 1 Bulldogs blasted the No. 3 Horned Frogs 65-7 for their second-straight national championship, recording 589 yards of offense after recording five touchdowns in six first-half offensive drives.

In the third quarter, leading by 38 points, Georgia didn’t wait to officially start celebrating.

But to Ohio State players, coaches and fans, all Monday’s drubbing indicated was a missed opportunity.

Facing Georgia in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Peach Bowl Dec. 31, Ohio State kicker Noah Ruggles missed a 50-yard field goal wide left with 50 seconds left in the game, giving the Bulldogs the 42-41 win despite scoring 40 points or more for the 10th time in 2022 with 467 yards of offense.

Here’s what Buckeye players, coaches and fans were thinking during Georgia’s 58-point victory.
