Ohio State vs Miami Revisited: Fiesta Bowl Legacy, VanSickle’s First Start & Fielding Reset

by | Dec 29, 2025 | Ohio, Tim May Show

As the College Football Playoff quarterfinal between Ohio State and Miami approaches, The Tim May Show feat. Clay Hall revisits one of the most debated games in college football history: the Buckeyes’ 2002 national title win over Miami in the Fiesta Bowl.

Recurring guest Jeff Snook offers a deeper look at that iconic night, its lasting legacies, and the tragic ripple effects that still echo through the sport today. Tim May and Clay Hall break down how that game still frames the Ohio State–Miami conversation more than two decades later.

Plus, hear directly from Ohio State kicker Jayden Fielding as he discusses his mental reset following the late miss against Indiana, and meet Gabe VanSickle, who is set to make his first career start at right guard for the Buckeyes.

Insight, history, perspective, and playoff urgency—this episode has it all.
