Ohio State drops stunning theatrical recap of Cotton Bowl win over Texas
Ohio State is still standing, and the Buckeyes will play for a national championship after beating Texas in the Cotton Bowl. While the team is preparing to face Notre Dame, fans are still relishing in what was a legendary night for Ohio State.
The Buckeyes have since dropped their theatrical recap of the Cotton Bowl, and it’s especially brilliant considering what went down. It begins with pre-game speeches from Brian Hartline and Ryan Day among others, including Day’s resounding speech on Ohio State vs. Texas as a family vs. family battle.
“It’s not about the hate of them, it’s about the love for your brothers. Don’t miss that,” said Hartline. “Win another week together, at all costs!”
“These guys are in the way of what we want. It’s their family against our family. And I know one thing: When you have family, you do everything you can to defend your family,” Day exclaimed.
As for the action on the field, the recap includes all of Ohio State’s highlights and the counterpunches delivered by Texas. It led to a tie score entering the 4th quarter with the Buckeyes looking to answer the final quarter.
And, as fans know, Ohio State certainly answered in a big way. Will Howard led a sustained drive, complete with a 4th-and-2 conversion with his legs, to take the lead before Jack Sawyer’s game-clinching defensive score of massive proportions.
Sawyer’s singular defensive effort will go down in Ohio State football history as an all-time play. And it puts the Buckeyes on the doorstep of their first national title since 2014.
Here’s the recap:
