Ohio State first used the vertically running scarlet rose pattern on the team's center helmet stripe three years ago in a wild Rose Bowl Game where the Buckeyes rallied to knock off No. 11 Utah, 48-45. That instant classic saw C.J. Stroud set a school passing record with 573 on the day and Jaxon Smith-Njigba shatter a school record with 347 receiving yards – the most ein any bowl game ever.
As for jerseys, the Buckeyes will wear their traditional road whites for the College Football Playoff quarterfinal game, which kicks off at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, January 1st.
