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.

Six Ohio State players hail from a small-ish suburb of Columbus, including defensive stars Ty Hamilton, Jack Sawyer and Sonny Styles.

Jack Sawyer cemented his status as an Ohio State legend last week when he had an 83-yard fumble return touchdown against Texas in the Cotton Bowl. While it's a moment fans will never forget, he quickly moved on from it.
