00:00Texas down by a touchdown 21 to 14 in the final two and a half

00:04minutes of regulation. First in goal from the one it seemed as

00:09though the Longhorns were going to tie the game and maybe even

00:13force overtime at the Cotton Bowl. But Ohio State's goalline

00:17defense supreme and elite the best in college football all

00:21year had other ideas which led to a fourth and goal from the

00:26Buckeyes eight Quinn Ewers drops back in his freshman year

00:30roommate in CBUS Jack Sawyer hunts him down sack strip scoop

00:37score 83 yards in a defensive play in a moment that will live

00:42on forever in Ohio State football lore. The Pickerington

00:47Ohio native the Columbus kid sends the Buckeyes back to a

00:51national championship as Ohio State outlast Texas 28 to 14.

00:57The Buckeyes cover as a five and a half point favorite in the

01:00Cotton Bowl, a total of 51 and a hook stays under 83 yards to

01:06pay to DRS the Jack Sawyer scoop and score again a lasting

01:10memory forever in Ohio State football history.

01:15They got to love that. And now they're going to be in the

01:16national championship game supposed to win it put another

01:19one on the mats where after a season that looked like it was

01:21going to end in turmoil after that lost to Michigan and Ryan

01:24Day would be fired. How about that redemption story going to

01:26the playoff and absolutely throttle every single opponent

01:29that you play because it looks like that's a possibility with

01:32the game of Notre Dame on deck. Now let's separate the Ohio

01:34State Buckeyes to me the most talented team in the country.

01:37They're putting it together at the right time as I started

01:39talking about at the top of the hour. I love this because

01:41nobody's gonna look back like man, they shouldn't even have

01:43did that. No, no, no, they got into the college football

01:45playoff and absolutely ran roughshod over the top teams in

01:48the country. No fluke best team in the country. If they do win

01:51it. I'll say the same thing for Notre Dame. But also let's

01:54flip it over to the Texas Longhorns. What has most like

01:57you could just be a casual college football fan. You could

01:59be a hardcore college football fan. You could be a Texas fan or

02:02a non Texas fan. The thing that came up the entire season was I

02:06don't understand like Arch Manning was one of the best

02:08high school recruits in the history of football and he can't

02:11beat out Quinn Ewers. And every time we watch Quinn Ewers

02:14outside of yes, he's a solid quarterback. There were games

02:17where like, boy, I think Arch can do a lot more things here

02:20to try to help this football team out and maybe take that

02:22offense to the next level only to have it come down to a first

02:25and goal from the one yard line down seven points to say, okay,

02:29Quinn Ewers is not athletic enough to quarterback sneak

02:32this in for a six inch or two foot touchdown right now. And I

02:35do have a guy on the bench that's very athletic, 6'4, 225,

02:38230, that can absolutely ram this in. Why are we handing the

02:42football and getting no yards and going, you know what, here's

02:44what we're going to do. Let's run a toss sweep or something

02:46different. The quarterback sneak might have put you into

02:49the national championship picture. So Sarkeesian and

02:52Ewers, I look at that and say, this is more on you than

02:54anything else. That's a play you have to convert and you have

02:57the capabilities with a player just behind Quinn Ewers that

03:01would have scored that touchdown and you didn't use them. Those

03:03are the question marks that I come away with. But also now

03:06you know what I'm ready for in the offseason for Texas for

03:08another quarterback to take over for Arch Manning and then tell

03:11us he's just not ready yet, even though he's one of the best

03:13recruits we've ever had in the history of the school from day

03:16one, Quinn Ewers should not have been the starting

03:18quarterback when Arch Manning was there. And congratulations

03:20Texans. You don't have a Texas, you don't have a national

03:23championship because of that. And I believe that.
