Jack Sawyer physically removes Ryan Day from ESPN interview to celebrate championship

On By Littum

The Ohio State Buckeyes are national champions.

After jumping out to an early lead against Notre Dame in Monday night’s title game, the Buckeyes had to survive a late push from the Fighting Irish but eventually held on for a 34-23 victory.

After the game, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day was interviewed on the court by ESPN’s Holly Rowe, basking in the victory.

Day was a few answers into the interview when longtime Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer, who carried Ohio State through much of their playoff push, jumped into the frame and carried Day away to celebrate.

“National champions baby!” Sawyer shouted with joy. ESPN pitched to another reporter.

Congratulations to Ohio State on their ninth national championship in program history.
