Ohio State is set to play at the Sugar Bowl for a spot in the College Football Playoff national championship game on Saturday night.
Back in 2015, the Buckeyes upset No. 1 seed Alabama at the Sugar Bowl in the inaugural College Football Playoff. Back then, the team was led by Cardale Jones, Ezekiel Elliott, Michael Thomas and others.
Ohio State’s win was basically sealed when Elliott ran 85 yards “through the heart of the South” for a massive touchdown.
Just hours before the game, Elliott’s mom, Dawn Elliott, took to Twitter and posted a special shirt that referenced that play.
