A big shoutout to a couple of Granite Staters: Ryan Day and Chip Kelly are national champions after Ohio State beat the Notre Dame on Monday night. Day is the head coach for the Buckeyes, while Kelly is the offensive coordinator. Both are graduates of Manchester Central and the University of New Hampshire.

Ryan Day finally has the monkey off his back after delivering Ohio State's first National Championship in over a decade, but the state of Ohio isn't the only place celebrating.

As much as Ohio State's passionate supporters — and some within the media — had written off Day, his family and his team never lost hope.
