Jack Friggin Sawyer. JACK FRIGGIN SAWYER. Sacked his former roommate. Sealed the win. And kudos to the Ohio State defense for standing tall (with some help from a head-scratching play call by Texas coach Steve Sarkisian) when it mattered most.

Sawyer forced a fumble, recovered it and ran it back for the touchdown in the final moments of the national championship game. It was one of the defining moments of the season.

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.
