Ohio State flag bearer trips leading to 'O-H-I' player entrance in national championship



Ohio State’s entrance to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game did not go exactly as planned.


The bearer of the last “O” flag in “O-H-I-O” got tangled up with several players coming out of the tunnel and the flag didn’t make it with the rest of the letters.


Here's the sequence in three photos by Tom Pennington of Getty Images:

Consequently, Ohio State was led out of the player’s tunnel with the letters “O-H-I” while the final “O” was being rolled up on the end line.



Luckily, it appeared no one was injured and so far the gaffe hasn’t resulted in a bad omen for the Ohio State football team as it leads late in the second quarter.
