Okay, so I wanted to dig up the 2014 Ohio State football schedule. You know, that championship season! It’s always fun to look back at how things played out.
Finding the Schedule
First things first, I needed to find the schedule itself. My go-to move for this kind of thing is just good old Google. I typed in “ohio state 2014 football schedule” and boom – tons of results.
I skimmed through a few of the top hits. you know, just regular sports sites, nothing too fancy. I wanted something simple and clear, without a bunch of extra stuff cluttering it up.
Remembering That Season
While I was looking at the schedule, all these memories started flooding back. Man, that season was a rollercoaster!
- The Navy Game: We started off against Navy, and it was a bit closer than everyone expected. I remember being slightly nervous, like, “Uh oh, is this how the season’s gonna go?”
- Virginia Tech… Ouch: Then came that Virginia Tech game. Yikes. That loss at home was rough. Everyone was freaking out, thinking the season was doomed.
- The Turnaround: But then… J.T. Barrett stepped up, and things started clicking. The wins started piling up, and the offense looked amazing.
- The Michigan State Game: That game at Michigan State was HUGE. A big win on the road, against a really good team. That’s when I really started to believe.
- “The Game” and Tragedy: The game against Michigan is always intense, but that year was extra emotional. Winning felt great, but then the news about J.T.’s injury… devastating.
- Cardale’s Time to Shine: Cardale Jones… what a story. Stepping in for the Big Ten Championship, and then the playoffs? Crazy.
- Crushing Wisconsin We all remeber this game, right?
- Beating Alabama and Oregon: And then, those two playoff games! Beating Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, and then Oregon for the National Championship. Unbelievable.
Putting It All Together
So yeah, looking back at that 2014 schedule brought back a ton of memories. It’s not just about the dates and opponents; it’s about that whole journey. From early-season jitters to the ultimate triumph, it was one heck of a ride.
