Only 85 days remain until Ohio State kicks off its 2017 season in Bloomington, Indiana against the Hoosiers.

As most fans know, 85 is a blessed number in Buckeye lore. So there is no better way to mark this milestone on the space-time continuum than by watching Ezekiel Elliott's 85-yard jaunt through Alabama (and the Heart of the South) in the 2015 Sugar Bowl.

The score put OSU up 40-28 on Bama with 3:24 left in the game, all but sealing the first playoff victory in school history. (Cardale Jones and Michael Thomas linked up on the next play to make it 42-28.) 

Perhaps the most underrated video of the Buckeyes' iconic 42-35 win is the the slow-motion sideline view:

Highlights like this are like fine wine. They only get better with age and it's best not to operate heavy machinery after imbibing.
