Jack Sawyer’s Scoop-and-Score: The Play That Turned Him into an Ohio State Legend

Confetti rained down on him as he stood with raised arms and shut eyes, seeming to say, “See? I told you I could do it!” That had always been a dream come true for Sawyer, who as a kid in a scarlet-and-gray jersey played catch behind his yard. A dream came into reality during a Friday night college football playoff semifinal at the Cotton Bowl. Changing of GameWith just more than two minutes remaining, Texas was an inch away from tying the game and maybe heading into overtime.
