Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer ran a fumble back 83 yards for a touchdown to seal the Buckeyes' 28-14 win over Texas on Friday night in the College Football Playoff semifinals. Sawyer hit Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers before he could throw before scooping up the bouncing football and housing it for a game-defining play in a tightly contested Cotton Bowl.

Sawyer's passion for the Buckeyes is unmatched, and his 83-yard fumble return touchdown to beat Texas will live forever in Ohio State lore.

But Sawyer wasn’t done there. He stripped the ball from Ewers, recovered it and took off down a wide-open field for an 83-yard touchdown, putting Ohio State up, 28-14 — the eventual final score. OHIO STATE-TEXAS: Will Howard had a gnarly looking knot on his hand during the Cotton Bowl
