CFB: Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer has scored a 82-yard touchdown in the final moments of the fourth quarter to book the Buckeyes spot in the College Football National Championship final.
Joe McGuire, the son of ex-Collingwood president and media personality Eddie, is a national champion.
Ohio State won the toss and deferred, with Notre Dame getting first use of the ball at their own 25-yard line. A few bruising runs from TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins then helped set up Ohio State in the red zone and it didn’t take long for the Buckeyes to convert, bringing Smith in motion for the fake end around before reversing and finding himself wide open for the touchdown to level the game at 7-7 early in the second.
But Notre Dame wasn’t able to do much to stop the Buckeyes from marching down the field and delivering the knockout punch right before halftime as Will Howard scrambled and threw across his body to an open Judkins in the end-zone. At that point, it looked like a matter of Ohio State by how many as Notre Dame faced a 3rd-and-19 with three minutes left in the third quarter which, if they did not convert, would’ve been lights out.
