Jack Sawyer’s Legendary Strip Sack Propels Ohio State to National Championship Berth
In an unforgettable Cotton Bowl showdown, Ohio State’s Jack Sawyer etched his name into Buckeyes lore with a game-sealing strip sack against former roommate and Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers. The monumental play capped an extraordinary three-game stretch for Sawyer, catapulting Ohio State into the national championship game against Notre Dame on January 20.
Sawyer’s ferocious hit on Ewers, followed by an 83-yard touchdown return, not only secured the 28-14 victory but also earned the admiration of his head coach, Ryan Day. “Jack Sawyer just became an Ohio State legend,” Day exclaimed, highlighting the significance of Sawyer’s contribution to the team’s success.
The Columbus native’s rise to prominence has been nothing short of remarkable. A second-team All-Big Ten selection for the past two seasons, Sawyer has consistently demonstrated his prowess on the defensive end. His latest heroics, however, have cemented his status as a beloved figure in Ohio State football history.
The Cotton Bowl victory marked a triumphant return to form for the Buckeyes, who will now vie for their first national title since 2014. Despite allowing Texas to remain within striking distance for much of the game, Ohio State’s resilience and determination ultimately paid off.
As the Buckeyes prepare to face Notre Dame in the championship game, they draw inspiration from Sawyer’s incredible display of skill and tenacity. With their captain leading the charge, Ohio State is poised to make a deep run in the postseason, driven by the unwavering dedication of players like Jack Sawyer.
In the words of Coach Day, “What a moment for Jack, and what a moment for the team.” As the Buckeyes faithful eagerly anticipate the national championship showdown, they do so with the knowledge that Jack Sawyer has forever etched his name into the annals of Ohio State football lore.
I am very proud of the Buckeyes and Coach Day. I hope they win it all. I have a problem with how the players thank the Lord, which they need to do. I wish they would not use curse words. They need to realize that doesn’t look good on them. If we are Christians we don’t need to use those kind of words.
Love, Hugs and Prayers for all of You.
