From Philly Brown's punt return that was an opening shot across the bow, to Montee Ball's rare fumble, to Christian Bryant's kill shot, we have you covered with GIFs from Ohio State's huge 21-14 overtime win in Madison.
Q1|2:07 After each team traded a couple of punts, Philly Brown got the party started by taking this Drew Meyer punt 68 yards to the house, putting the Buckeyes up, 7-0.
Q4|2:51 After forcing a Buckeye three-and-out, Wisconsin took over, trailing 14-7 with 7:00 remaining in the game. Montee Ball carried the ball six times for 45 yards leading the Badgers to a 4th-and-1 from the Ohio State two-yard line. Ball leapt into the end zone, but Ryan Shazier's helmet said, "NOPE," leading to Ball's second fumble in 907 touches.
Here's another look at the play:
OT1 After Braxton Miller broke contain and picked up a 1st-and-goal for the Buckeyes, Carlos Hyde punched it in, practically untouched, to put the Buckeyes up, 21-14. Despite the lack of touches on the afternoon (15), the touchdown was Hyde's second of the day and his 13th rushing touchdown in his last six outings.
OT1 With the defense forcing Wisconsin into a 3rd down, the Buckeye sideline got a little bouncy.
OT1 On 4th-and-6, Ohio State brought Orhian Johnson on a blitz, forcing Curt Phillips to get rid of the ball before he probably wanted. Christian Bryant was on the scene to make sure the night ended on a happy note (and new t-shirts).

Good stuff...

On the first GIF Philly Brown took the punt 68 yards to the house. I believe you were talking about the punt distance from Drew Meyer but it reads like Philly returned it for 43.
Thank you.
Who would've thunk even back in early October that we'd be 11-0 and the defense was playing this good right before The Game?

After the Indiana game, not me. Meyer's meeting with the D might prove to be his best coaching move all season.

If not for that big lineman's hand Bryant would have taken it to the house... SOB.
Nothing like dancing on the field in 02...
Awesome gifs!
I love the sideline jumping one!
Swaggernauts.
No GIF of the Shazier hit on Melvin Gordon? Thats what I came to this to see
Pick up your feet, turn your corners square! And DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE!!!
1. When Philly burst through that hole, he really did it with a quickness. Wow.
2. Shazier, that's the way to cause a fumble by putting your helmet on the ball. It's too bad the Wisky player got his hand on Bryant's jersey.
3. Look at the push the left side of the O Line gets on that Hyde TD run in OT.
4. That was one heck of a PBU by Bryant. Props to him.
Watching the team all jumping around together on the sideline makes me believe what many of them have been saying - the chemistry and camaraderie on this Ohio State team is off the charts.
What most of these guys have been through, whether it be Tatgate, Tressel's ouster, Fickell's interim status and subsequent struggle of a season last year, Urban's hiring, an offseason of harsh workouts and complete team physical/mental transformation, has all brought them that much more together as one unit. They fight for each other until the end, and they refuse to be beaten, as Urban Meyer said. This is a special group and hopefully the start of another special time at Ohio State.

This is all the recap I needed to show my coworkers in Detroit the boss plays :D.
