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.

The Ohio State football season is almost over, win or lose, and there is a small cadre of fans who have been to every, or almost every, playoff game.

Ohio State will look to win its first national championship since the 2014-15 season Monday night against Notre Dame. One guy that could help the Buckeyes do just that is Ohio State senior defensive end Jack Sawyer.
