Video Captures 20 Years of Iconic Ohio State Moments
The finish line looms for Ohioans weary of social distancing and quarantined days spent at home amid COVID-19 fears, so Ohio State's official football Twitter account is doing what it can to get them through.
Over the weekend, OSU's social media team released a three-minute, 32-second video that cleverly incorporates the Dr. Suess book, "Oh, the Places You'll Go," with many signature moments from the Buckeyes' football success over the past two decades.
As of Monday morning, it had been viewed more than 450,000 times on Twitter..
Voice-over artist Derrick Moore narrates the video, along with clips from college foorball voices like Keith Jackson, Brent Musburger and Gus Johson.
The video includes footage of youngsters, senior citizens, Ohio State fans and landscapes in and around Columbus interspersed with scenes of Ohio Stadium, OSU quarterback Justin Fields, the Oval and Mirror Lake.
It ends with the hashtages, #InthistogetherOhio and #TogetherasBuckeyes.
In between are a host of plays that form the foundation for many memorable Ohio State wins since the 2002 national championship season.
