Part 4/6:

However, the Ohio State defense proved its mettle once again. With moments left on the clock and the pressure mounting, Texas attempted to drive home a score from the eight-yard line. A series of failed attempts culminated in a fourth down where Jack Sawyer of Ohio State executed a critical sack, securing possession and dashing Texas's hopes.

A Poetic Victory for Ohio State

The win was not just about the score; it was a testament to Ohio State's resilience after their earlier loss to Michigan. This victory marked a significant turning point for the Buckeyes, who have shown remarkable growth since that setback. The sight of Jack Sawyer—a player who had felt the sting of defeat against Michigan—making the game-winning play felt poetic to many observers.
