Five-star point Running Back Nick Chubb pledges to the Ohio State Buckeyes; here’s why he chose Ohio State Buckeyes…
Ohio State, the first team to run the gauntlet of four playoff games on its way to the national title, celebrated with 30,000 Buckeyes fans on Sunday at Ohio Stadium.
Fans braved 30-degree temperatures to welcome home a team that beat five top-10 rivals on its way to the title, including Oregon in the Rose Bowl, Texas in the Cotton Bowl and Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff championship game.
“It took everybody to become national champions, and today we say thank you,” coach Ryan Day told the crowd.
Ohio State was the first to win the inaugural four-team playoff a decade ago and became the first to win the 12-team version.
It did so in dominating fashion, trailing for just 6 minutes, 5 seconds across 240 minutes of playing time and beating every opponent by double figures.
The team also overcame criticism from a regular-season loss to rival Michigan, which generated calls for Day’s removal.
If Day elects to make an internal hire, Guerrieri seems to be the top candidate. He has worked closely alongside Knowles dating back to their overlap at Duke (2012-17)
Guerrieri was an analyst for Ohio State in 2022 – Knowles’ first season in Columbus. He was a safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator at Indiana last season before returning to Ohio State.
During his speech, Day made his thoughts on Guerrieri clear.
“One of the brightest minds in college football, and, I’m telling you, a star in the making,” Day said.
