Many times, championship games will come down to a few key plays and who can win the turnover battle. Chalk the first win of the night up to Ohio State as Baron Browning reached Mac Jones on a blitz and caused him to cough up the rock.
The Buckeye defense is giving up chunks of yards by design as they try to prevent the big play and keep everything in front. Pair that with well timed blitz packages and it looks like a solid game plan, even if it’s leaving most fans with knots in their stomach.
Watch momentum swing at just the right time on Browning’s key play.
