LeBron James was at the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta on Monday evening to support Ohio State during the National Championship match for university football playoffs. Born and raised in the state of Ohio, the NBA superstar was a fan of Buckeyes from a young age.
Monday evening was another opportunity to show his deep passion for the football program. James was considered very ecstatic about the game race several times while Buckeyes presented a dominant screen in Atlanta. However, a case was more visible during the match.
As the game worked until an end, Notre Dame was pushing a return. Fighting Irish marked a touchdown after Riley Leonard found Jaden Greathouse of 30 yards to make it an eight -point game. With high pressure, buckeyes have made a crucial game.

The Ohio State began the next game after Notre Dame’s touchdown in their 24. However, they had a hard time advancing the ball, giving the Irish momentum. However, on a situation of the 3rd and 11 years, Will Howard found Jeremiah Smith with a pass of 56 yards which sent them to the red zone.
LeBron James was seen excited after this explosive play, celebrating with people around him in the stands. The game destroyed all the hopes that the Fighting Irish had and finally led to a goal on the field for the Buckeyes.
Take a look at the moment below:
First national championship for Ohio State since 2014
The Ohio State obtained its first national championship in a decade, marking a return to the summit of university football. The latest Buckeyes title occurred during the 2014 season under the coach Urban Meyer when they beat Oregon 42-20 at the AT&T stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The last two victories of the national championship of the program are historic victories, because the Buckeyes have now won titles in the first four -team playoffs and 12 teams. Their 34-23 victory against Notre Dame assured that they are the first champion of this extended post-season format.
Ohio State appeared in the CFP four times during the six years of Ryan Day training. They got closer to the national title of the 2022 season when they played in Alabama in the championship match. However, Crimson Tide has outraged the buckeyes, winning 52-24.
After their dominant display in the first round, it is undoubtedly a well -deserved victory for the Ryan Day team this time. The coach and his team entered the playoffs under intense pressure after the fourth consecutive defeat against his Michigan rival. However, they were able to change things when it mattered the most.
