Instant Analysis: Texas Goes from 1st-and-Goal at the 1 to a Stunning Collapse
**ARLINGTON, Texas (KXAN)** — The Texas Longhorns were one yard away from tying the game against Ohio State late in the fourth quarter of the College Football Playoff semifinals, but they came up short.
Despite having first-and-goal from the 1-yard line, the Buckeyes' defense held firm, denying Texas the end zone. On fourth-and-goal from the 8-yard line, Ohio State linebacker Jack Sawyer delivered the decisive blow. He forced a fumble from Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and returned it 83 yards for a touchdown, setting CFP and Cotton Bowl Classic records. The play sealed Ohio State's 28-14 victory Friday at AT&T Stadium.
With the win, Ohio State advances to face Notre Dame in the national championship game on Jan. 20 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Roger Wallace and Noah Gross break down the Longhorns' second consecutive CFP semifinal loss and how the game slipped away.
