The split jersey game with AJ Hawk and Brady Quinn! So many awesome players and personalities on in this game too, Samadzija, Schlegel, and of course General Bobby Carpenter! This OSU team had nearly beaten Vince Young and the eventual champs Texas in a shootout at the Horseshoe, while Notre Dame had nearly beaten Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush and the defending champs USC, both these teams were close to being in that Rose Bowl title game themselves
I miss when college players were generally from the area of the team they played for. Pretty sure every offensive starter except Holmes was from Ohio. Good luck finding anything close to that on any D1 program now let alone the top ones
Not as good as 2002 vs that legendary Miami team when all these stars were freshman except for Ginn and Holmes o wanna say and Troy Smith of course cause of krenzel
Fun fact idk if people remember this but #83 for ND is jeff samardja he went on to be the Chicago cubs starting pitching n actually had a really good couple year run
7:10 I wonder how Brady Quinn and AJ Hawk are doing after this game 😂. I mean Quinn’s sister is Hawk’s wife and seeing her husband take down her brother is like…. dang 😂
I watched this game as a kid, but I had no idea that MLB All-Star Jeff Samardzija played football for Notre Dame. I mainly remembered this game for Santonio Holmes' early TD celebration.
This game was in HD at the time, pretty sure it’s even been on UA-cam in HD at times, but NFL Throwback only has access to an SD version of the game from ESPN Classic which is why you see all the “we’ve moved ahead” overlays
Same with me. This was played the season before I started following college football. I was completely obvious to all the hype for the USC-Texas game. I didn't really follow sports at all at the time.
Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr in NCAA Football 07 just wasn’t fair lol
Man Smith was throwing some major bombs in this game alot of quarterbacks. Playing in the NFL today that don't throw the ball that far

@@ChiefBlue4298 now I’m sad
This was a timeless classic BCS game. Troy Smith became a college star, beginning with this game
And then...🤷♂️
Troy Smith actually beat Michigan at Ohio State in 2004 ⁉🏈🏟
And then... he won the Heisman trophy
@@randycorns7305and than... Got sick and beat out by Flacco

I miss when Bowl Games actually mattered
Ya I hope they don't expand playoff
Why expanding the playoffs would be great the bowl system is one of the worst systems in all of sports
@@BobBob-eb4io Though the players on those teams would have to play up to 16-17 games.

Fax dude general bob and Hawker were a legendary duo

There’s always been schools with guys from all over like usc but you are right it’s way spread out across the nation

One of the best Buckeye games of my lifetime
Not as good as 2002 vs that legendary Miami team when all these stars were freshman except for Ginn and Holmes o wanna say and Troy Smith of course cause of krenzel
Ohio State showed who was the best team in the Midwest for 2005 season with this win ⁉🏈🏜OSU and Notre Dame both entered this game with a 9-2 record..
2:46 is a real "thanks for not making me look stupid" moment xD
That poor lineman trying to keep up 🤣🤣🤣 9:10
ESPN classic still exist?????
When it was ABC Sports and not ESPN on ABC.
Before Disney unceremoniously killed off one of the best brands in TV history.
Fun fact, AJ Hawk and Brady Quinn are brother-in-laws! I think AJ made his feelings about Quinn very clear on that sack! 🤣🤣🤣
Pat McAfee loving this
Aj Hawk and Brad's sister will be making some ugly ass kids.
Somebody clip that play and send to PMS
Ya they said that in the video. Good fact bud
Ted ginn was such a monster in college my god
Fun fact idk if people remember this but #83 for ND is jeff samardja he went on to be the Chicago cubs starting pitching n actually had a really good couple year run
ESPN classic still exist?
Ted Ginn Jr was an absolute beast!!!
Santonio was better
@@IllMatic97 Teddy Ginn Jr was a better kickoff/punt returner..Santonio Holmes was a better WR ⁉🏈🏟
We love Teddy here in Cbus!
9:16 he dropped the ball before got into the end zone 😳
Time flies nostalgic lmao
Yep!
The TE Jeff S. Became a pretty solid MLB starting pitcher for a while

They still married ?
I was 9 years old when this game was played but yet I remember it so vividly. I remember exactly where I was as well. Weird to think about 😅
I was at a pro wrestling event WWE Raw this night

Oh yeah, I remember this! Great bowl game.
Rest in peace Dwayne Haskins.
Ohio State had 34 this game but tonight they scored 31 combined.
Im a Buckeye guy, but I have serious love for ND. Also Brady Quinn is a Columbus native so I'll forever love that!
And Jeff Samardja had a brief tenure in the Majors with cubs and white Sox
Would of been first round pick at worst round if he played

Them Norte damn wrs 6"5
Brady Quinn went on to become a bust maybe if the Dolphins drafted him instead of Ted Ginn Jr his career would have been different
He really would of been good if draftee by the right team
He had so much talent and intelligence
The Browns are a place where talent is wasted and eventually dies.

Could have legit went top 15 in the draft he was considered second best wr to Calvin Johnson in that draft

“Celebration penalty” “deserves it” whatta joke
For sticking an index finger out....... how that was a penalty is beyond me.
Please put the highlights of the 2016 Ohio state vs ND game
Damn they had bucket helmets back then 😂
2005 Ohio state talent wise was better then 06
Charlie Weis bowl game record was terrible as a Norte Dame Head Coach

OSU exposed ND big time in this game. As a matter of fact ND seems to get exposed a lot lately 😂.
Usc did when Tyrone Willingham had hype also I remember
@@ericpackers1700lmao
Was there no 1080p in 2006? I feel like every sports event had that at the time but apparently not 🤔
HD was still pretty rare even in 06. It didn't really become standard until like 08
This game was in HD at the time, pretty sure it’s even been on UA-cam in HD at times, but NFL Throwback only has access to an SD version of the game from ESPN Classic which is why you see all the “we’ve moved ahead” overlays
God Ted Ginn should of been so much better in the NFL.
Why does the thumbnail have a picture of brady quinn he didnt throw for a touchdown Darius Walker shoud be on here
6:44AJ HAWK!!!!
I was in 8th grade. These Ohio State and Notre Dame teams would've smacked the ones that played today
Same miss these days I'm Auburn fan but good memories
Same with me. This was played the season before I started following college football.
I was completely obvious to all the hype for the USC-Texas game. I didn't really follow sports at all at the time.
Doubtful Charlie Weiss got exposed as a head coach.
Pat McAfee legend aj hawk!
Crazy how the most talented wr in this game played baseball instead of nfl smh
Tedd Ginn Jr didn't play baseball though
@@darron614 pretty sure Jeff samarjia played baseball instead of going to the nfl
@@corycarter4689 yeah I knew who you were referring to, but my point was that Ginn was the best WR and likely best player on the field.
@@darron614 even though he wasn’t.. Jeff had better stats and woulda been a top 10 pick in the draft..
But at least by playing baseball his body is in better shape now than if he played in the NFL for a decade
This wasn't even that good of a game to begin with
Notre Dame is always overrated and overranked. They were never in this game except the first drive.
These refs are trash, give me a job if they don’t need to be good at it
Brady Quinn was a bust in the NFL.
More like he got screwed over and was never given a proper shot. He didn't fail. They failed him.
@@TheVirtualSportsNetworktime flies lmao back when jamarcus Russell was top NFL draft prospect lmfao
