The Ohio State Buckeyes are National Championship-bound after defeating the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl, 28-14.

Ohio State is headed to the national championship. The Buckeyes knocked off Texas, 28-14, in the Cotton Bowl to punch their ticket with Jack Sawyer making the game-seeling play with a scoop-and-score with the Longhorns having a chance to tie the game on fourth and goal.

Both teams roll into Arlington with a pair of losses this year. The Buckeyes lost to Oregon and rival Michigan while the Horns lost to Georgia twice, including in the SEC title game.

Sawyer forced a fumble, recovered it and ran it back for the touchdown in the final moments of the national championship game. It was one of the defining moments of the season.

Ohio State is heading back to the title game for the first time in 10 seasons, taking down Texas in the CFP semifinal. Here are the highlights from the Cotton Bowl!
