I wanted to give you a speech today about how no one ever remembers the Runner Up.
Jack Sawyers scoop and score?
In your case, every single person in this country will know who came in 2nd place this year.
You are the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Everyone wants to see you fail.
And when we lost that game at the end of November, 49 states smiled about it.
But the college football playoff committee gave you an eraser.
You are either going to write yourselves into history as NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.
Or you are going to write yourselves into history as failures.
And my biggest concern is that the entire world is now telling you how good you are.
But think back to where you were a month ago.
Thats the shoes Notre Dame is in right now.
Feels a bit like the opposite of 2002, doesn’t it, Jack?
The wolf on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill.
You are not the champion yet.
But the pen is in your hands.
There is no other option.
