Ohio State defensive lineman Jack Sawyer returned a fumble 83 yards in a crucial play against Texas in the College Football Playoff semifinal in Arlington, Texas.
The Longhorns were threatening to tie the game at 21, and had the ball first-and-goal from the 1-yard line. OSU responded with a stop for no gain, a Lathan Ransom tackle for a 7-yard loss, and then Sawyer broke up a pass attempt by Texas’ Quinn Ewers.
That forced a fourth down and set the stage for Sawyer’s big play.
His scoop and score came with 2:13 remaining.
