Ohio State is off to the College Football Playoff National Championship game to face Notre Dame. But it wasn’t easy. Clinging to a seven-point lead, the defense was asked again to make yet another stop. Texas drove down the field fairly quickly and then two pass interference calls put the Longhorns on the one-yard line with a first and goal.

Sawyer undoubtedly had the biggest play of the game when he sealed Ohio State's 28-14 victory over the Texas Longhorns. After stripping the ball away from Texas QB Quinn Ewers during a 4th-and-goal situation with less than three minutes remaining, the star defensive end proceeded to complete the play with an 83-yard fumble return.

Six Ohio State players hail from a small-ish suburb of Columbus, including defensive stars Ty Hamilton, Jack Sawyer and Sonny Styles.

Ohio State's last win over Michigan was in 2019 when Sawyer was in high school. However, this season's loss to the rival may have hurt the most for the senior defender, as it was on the Buckeyes' senior day. Plus, the game ended in a brawl between both teams after a Michigan flag was planted in the middle of Ohio State's field.

Ohio State football linebacker Jack Sawyer wanted his head coach, Ryan Day, to enjoy the moment of winning a national championship.
