The Front Row

4th and 14

It's difficult to say because there were so many. Maybe the interception to end the Cincy threat at the end of the game. Or maybe Krenzel's scramble to go to overtime against Illinois. Or Holy Buckeye against Purdue. Or Gamble's INT against Penn St. Don't forget the last second interception against scUM. Or multiple other plays against Mich including MoC coming back into the game over and over with that injured shoulder of his. Not to mention a great number of plays against Miami. That was a season of living on the edge every week. Not only was the title a great accomplishment, but the way they did it was just incredible. I thought I might been having a heart attack during the first overtime of the Fiesta Bowl, but I refused to allow my wife to call 911. There was no way I was going to miss the end of that game and season. Turned out to be a little anxiety attack. Who would have guessed that?

The pass interference / holding / facemask penalty against Miami on 4th and goal

I agree with you Buckeye Steves. What about the Illinois game and the fourth down goal line stand at the end of overtime there. Dustin Fox had a crucial pass defense on third down or fourth down of that game

The Buckeyes had so many pivotal plays during that season. I was a teacher meeting during the Purdue game and did not get to see the Holy Buckeye play when it happen. When we got out of the meeting I remember turning on the radio and hearing Paul Keels say what a great game and the Buckeyes escape with a victory. I watched that play later and was ecstatic.

It really set the tone

Krenzel to Jenkins probably #1.
But Krenzel had an unbelieveable scramble on a 3rd and like 13 against Illinois in the 4th quarter, two Illini DL practically went right over him as he ducked, whirled around and scrambled for a first down. I still do not know how he avoided that sack for a loss.
Krenzel scrambling for a go ahead and game winning TD late at Cincinnati, he looked hemmed in, but he weaved his way down and whirled and got a TD to win.

4th and 14, was at the game, had a great view of that play.

Best moments, OSU coming down the tunnel before the kick off vs. Miami, it was drowning loud for OSU, you thought you were in Columbus at a national tile game, even Miami took time outs on offense and said the crowd noise played a role.
Clarrett's TD before the half to go up14-7, not sure I ever heard a louder roar of cheers, our bleachers in that small mountain were shaking with OSU fans jumping up and down and yelling.
Post game, Tressel saying, "we not only have the best damn team in the land, we also have the best damn team in the land", great moment if you were on the field.
The scoreboards showing OSU was the first team to go 14-0, nice as well.
