Ohio State Buckeyes vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish — National Championship, January 20, 2025
34–23CFP-NC
About This Game
Ohio State came to Atlanta as a championship team reborn. Just seven weeks removed from a devastating loss to Michigan that nearly derailed their season, the Buckeyes delivered a masterclass in domination through three quarters. Behind a relentless running attack led by Quinshon Judkins—who found the end zone three times—and Will Howard's precision passing to receivers like Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State built a commanding 31-7 lead by midway through the third quarter. The Buckeyes' offense was surgical, accumulating 946 yards across 17 drives while forcing Notre Dame into a desperate position.
But the Fighting Irish refused to go quietly. In a feverish fourth-quarter comeback, Notre Dame's Jaden Greathouse hauled in two touchdown passes from Riley Leonard, both followed by successful two-point conversions, cutting the deficit to just eight points at 31-23. The momentum had shifted violently. The championship hung in the balance with minutes remaining.
Ohio State's answer was ice-cold efficiency. With 26 seconds left, Jayden Fielding's 33-yard field goal sealed a 34-23 victory and the program's first national title in a decade. It was a championship earned through adversity overcome and a second-half defense that bent but refused to break.
