2008 BCS Championship: LSU (2) @ Ohio State (1)
Just like last year, Ohio State took the early lead with a touchdown and then scored a field goal to lead 10-0. However, LSU came back and scored 31 straight points to take the lead 31-10. Then OSU scored once more to make it 31-17, but that was all the scoring that happened for a while.
With 6 minutes left in the game, LSU picked off Ohio State and then got a key 4th and 1 for a first running the clock down another few minutes. LSU then got a few more first downs on their way to another touchdown to lead it 38-17 with 1:50 left in the game. Ohio State tried to come back with 1:13 left making it 38-24, but their earlier mistakes cost them big. Ohio State lost for the second time in the past two years which is sad considering they were number 1 ranked both years. LSU is the first team to win 2 BCS Championships.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY FIGHTING TIGERS, THE 2008 BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.
Note: There was a few stoppages that shouldn’t have occurred in the last few minutes of the game.
