COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – No players who were in uniform that night are still on scholarship, and only a handful of coaches remain at the schools. That’s not all that has changed since No. 2 Ohio State stunned top-ranked Miami in double overtime to win the 2002 national championship.
But that doesn’t mean the game still isn’t still discussed, particularly as the 17th-ranked Buckeyes and Hurricanes prepare to meet again on Saturday.
The nine years since that night in the desert have seen the two programs go in different directions – and yet end up in almost the same place.
The Buckeyes played in two more national title games but are now facing the same problem confronting the Hurricanes – an ugly NCAA investigation, multiple suspensions and ominous sanctions.
