Ohio State has had an incredible three-game run in the College Football Playoff thus far. The Buckeyes knocked off Tennessee in a round one match-up, took down Oregon in a Rose Bowl quarterfinal game, and eliminated Texas at the Cotton Bowl semifinal contest. The Buckeyes are one win away from ultimate glory, taking on Notre Dame in the national championship game in Atlanta on Monday. If the Scarlet and Gray come out on top in that game, it would arguably be the greatest postseason run in the sport's history, maybe rivaling Ohio State's 2014-2015 run in which they won the Big Ten title, beat Alabama, and dominated Oregon to win it all with a third string quarterback behind center. Everyone has heard about guys like Will Howard, TreVeyon Henderson, Jeremiah Smith, Cody Simon, Caleb Downs, Jack Sawyer, and JT Tuimoloau starring for Ohio State in these last three games, but there are a number of other players that have been critical to the team's title run. Today, Lettermen Row calls out the "unsung heroes" of OSU's College Football Playoff run.
