LeBron took to social media in a frenzy, struggling to find words to describe the rollercoaster of emotions. Many had written Ohio State off after losing top receiver Marvin Harrison Jr to an injury in the third quarter.ย
Trailing against an experienced Notre Dame team on the road seemed too big an obstacle. But first year starting quarterback Kyle McCord refused to quit, leading a clutch game-winning drive. LeBron’s outpouring of joy and praise reflected how every Buckeye fan was feeling.ย
The comeback was particularly sweet for LeBron after he had criticized head coach Ryan Day’s playcalling in previous games. To fight back and defeat a storied program like Notre Dame showed great resilience and championship grit.ย
While the season has only just begun, this victory provides a massive confidence boost. It proved that Ohio State is capable of overcoming adversity through clutch plays. LeBron will hope they can continue delivering drama andhighlight reel touchdowns as they aim to contend for the College Football Playoff.
