A comeback attempt from Notre Dame essentially ended when Will Howard connected with Jeremiah Smith for a 57-yard reception on 3rd and 11. Ohio State saw a one-on-one matchup on the outside, leaving Smith all alone. All Howard had to do was make the throw \u2014 he executed and Ohio State are now national champions.<\/p>\n
Howard was asked about the moment by ESPN\u2019s Rece Davis after the game, giving a hilarious NSFW response. He gave offensive coordinator Chip Kelly a ton of credit for making the play call in that moment. It would have been easy to hand the ball off and trust the defense but Ohio State went for the kill shot.<\/p>\n
