The USC Trojans held the Ohio State Buckeye offense to only 18 passing yards, but
when it was all said and done this didn’t matter as Ohio State coasted to a 31-7
victory over USC in the BCS National Champonship game. In one of the most bizarre
bowl games in recent memory, twenty-one of the Buckeyes’ thirty-one points were
accounted for from the defense and special teams (one interception and two punt
returns). The USC Trojan offense got first downs almost every possession of the
game, but it didn’t matter. John David Booty’s team stalled every one of these
possessions until once in the fourth quarter after the game was well within the
Buckeye’s hands. Shaun Lane, junior cornerback, ran back the two Buckeye punt
returns for touchdowns in route to being voted Most Valuable Player of the BCS
Championship. This win caps off a 14-1 season for Brutus the Buckeyes’ team.
