Holy Buckeye
Holy Buckeye is the nickname given to one of the most famous plays in the history of Ohio State football. It occurred in a late-regular season game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Purdue Boilermakers at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana, on November 9, 2002.〔MacCambridge, Michael (2005). "ESPN College Football Encyclopedia", p. 663. ESPN Books, New York. ISBN 1-4013-3703-1〕
The play was a critical point for the 2002 Ohio State Buckeyes football team, as an incomplete pass (or a failed first-down conversion) would have likely resulted in a loss to Purdue, which in turn, would have almost certainly removed Ohio State from National Championship contention. The nickname "Holy Buckeye" is a play on other similar expressions (i.e., "holy cow", "holy mackerel", etc.) and came from Brent Musburger, the ABC television play-by-play announcer, who exclaimed the phrase as the completion was made.
== Events of the play ==
Ohio State, which had been struggling on offense for the entire game, found itself with a 3rd and 14 at the 50-yard line, trailing Purdue by a score of 6-3 with 2:26 remaining in the game. After completing a 13-yard pass to Ben Hartsock on the left sideline, Ohio State had a 4th and (a long) 1 to go. Rather than have the kicker Mike Nugent attempt a long field goal to tie, or call a running play for tailback Lydell Ross to gain the necessary yardage to avoid a turnover on downs, Jim Tressel called the "King Right 64 Y Shallow Swap" - a pass. With the game clock still running from the previous play, the ball was snapped with just 1:44 left, and after dropping back, quarterback Craig Krenzel stepped up into the pocket and threw a 37-yard pass down the left sideline, which was caught by Michael Jenkins in the endzone to score the winning touchdown.
