The Ohio State Buckeyes are kings of the college football world after holding off a late charge from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to win the College Football Playoff National Championship in Atlanta.

Thanks to a strong game from star quarterback Will Howard and a 100-yard, two-touchdown game from star running back Quinshon Judkins, the Buckeyes were able to secure a 34-23 win at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

After the game, head coach Ryan Day and Howard were making their way to the postgame press conference when a wall tried to get in their way.

A woman was driving the men back to the media area when she crashed the golf cart carrying Day and Howard into the wall. Who put that there? Talk about an abrupt way to interrupt your celebration.

Day and Howard got off of the cart and walked the rest of the way, but the spirits were too high and the Buckeyes laughed off the minor incident.
