A Jack Sawyer 83-yard strip-sack scoop-and-score secures Ohio State's 28-14 win over Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
Just when it appeared all the wind was out of Ohio State's sails close to halftime, TreVeyon Henderson and the Buckeye offense procured a miracle.
With 29 seconds on the second-quarter clock following a Texas touchdown that tied the College Football Playoff semifinals at seven, offensive coordinator Chip Kelly dialed up a slip screen to Henderson. With Carson Hinzman, Luke Montgomery and some receivers clearing the way, Henderson burst through a crowd of Longhorns and dashed 75 yards to the end zone.

The jaunt gave Ohio State a 14-7 lead with 13 seconds left in the first half, which it carried into halftime. Two sharp cuts by the Buckeyes' senior star set up his blockers for the house call.
It was the first catch of the day for Henderson, who also entered halftime with three carries for 23 yards on the ground. It's his fourth touchdown of more than 20 yards in the CFP.
