Jack Friggin Sawyer. JACK FRIGGIN SAWYER. Sacked his former roommate. Sealed the win. And kudos to the Ohio State defense for standing tall (with some help from a head-scratching play call by Texas coach Steve Sarkisian) when it mattered most.

Ohio State is off to the College Football Playoff National Championship game to face Notre Dame. But it wasn’t easy. Clinging to a seven-point lead, the defense was asked again to make yet another stop. Texas drove down the field fairly quickly and then two pass interference calls put the Longhorns on the one-yard line with a first and goal.

Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer once lived with Quinn Ewers. On Friday, he earned a rent-free spot in the Texas quarterback’s head, stripping the ball from his former roommate and taking it 83 yards for a touchdown that sealed the Buckeyes’ place in the college football national championship game.
