NEW ORLEANS — It was nearly an hour after the national championship game — a game in which Louisiana State embarrassed Ohio State, 38-24 — and as Alex Boone tromped across the Superdome field from the OSU dressing room to the team bus, he still wasn’t over the meltdown he had witnessed among some of his teammates.
A meltdown he — and some other Buckeyes — said happened on the field, on the sidelines and even in the dressing room.
“I couldn’t believe that guys were fighting with other guys, this isn’t a barroom.” the massive junior tackle said. “You don’t need to be fighting with your own teammates. We were here to play football, Some guys didn’t get that though. But that’s not Ohio State football.
“Everyone was fighting with each other and I’m like, ‘Calm down. It’s okay. It’s half time.’ But everyone’s like, ‘This is your fault,’ and then ‘No, this is your fault.’ I was like ‘Calm down, we got a half to go.’ But some guys panicked like the game was over.”
