Maurice Clarett says defense, a 'fearless spirit' and Craig Krenzel are among the reasons the Buckeyes won the national championship in 2002.
But how did that championship come about? One of the team's stars, running back Maurice Clarett, shared his thoughts in an appearance on head coach Jim Tressel's podcast,“I think a large part was an experienced defense," Clarett told Tressel."They played a more significant role – like, on offense, you get glorious moments. You’re a freshman. You’re a running back. You’re in the Big Ten. You’re at Ohio State. You have success. That’s going to make news.
"Craig doesn't get a bunch of praise because he didn't throw for a million touchdowns and a million yards," Clarett said."But a moment that always sums up who I think Craig is now came when we were at Wisconsin. At the end of the third quarter, they do 'Jump Around' and play the music. We were driving toward the end zone, and it was that same series where Mike caught that ball across the field. It was third and long.
