SHOCKING MOMNET IN OUR HEART: 7 Minutes Ago Ohio State Buckeyes Head Coach Lovely Wife die in a Car Cr….

It’s an overused sports saying, but one that Ohio State football’s Jack Sawyer proved once again to be true.

With the game on the line in the fourth quarter of Friday’s College Football Playoff semifinal at the Cotton Bowl, the Buckeyes’ 6-foot-5 defensive lineman stripped the ball from Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and returned it to the house for an 83-yard touchdown.

It’s the longest scoop-and-score in the history of the College Football Playoff per ESPN’s broadcast.

To make Sawyer’s moment even sweeter, it came again his freshman-year roommate at Ohio State.

Ewers transferred to Texas after one season at Ohio State and has become one of the top quarterbacks in college football with the Longhorns.

“Can’t say enough about Jack Sawyer. He’s a guy who loves being a Buckeye.

He loves his teammates. He’s done everything we asked him to do,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day told ESPN’s Laura Rutledge postgame about Sawyer.

“He’s everything that we could possibly ask for in a captain.

He added: “He just became a legend at Ohio State.”

Here’s a look at Day and Sawyer sharing a moment on the field after Sawyer’s touchdown.

On first-and-goal, Ohio State held Texas running back Jerrick Gibson to no gain.

Ransom then tackled Quintrevion Wisner for a loss of 7 yards on second-and-goal, before Ewers threw an incomplete pass on third down.

Then came Sawyer’s play that etched his name further into Ohio State history.

“Just means everything to me,” Sawyer, who grew up a Buckeyes fan and lived 30 minutes away from Ohio Stadium in Pickerington, Ohio, told ESPN’s Holly Rowe on being able to make the play.
