JJ smith was a factor. He consistently needed 2 guys on him. That opened up other offensive players

[dankcoyote]

For the first time ever, no one is complaining about their team not being in the championship game. We’ve waited our entire lives for the best team to finally be determined on the field.

[Peter.Young]

Incredibly proud of Texas! What an amazing year capped off by matching OSU straight up, but losing by 1 yard. Hats off to OSU, you guys earned it!

[drewdozerthaprophet]

Hats off to the Texas Longhorns on a fantastic season, and what a hell of an adversary y’all were.
Go Bucks! Beat Notre Dame!

I think most Ohio State fans are still Quinn Ewers fans. No Iill will there, and we wish nothing but the best for him.

[beavisplay]

texas played better than i expected; but i give quin ewers, in particular, a LOT of credit. he took a beating the whole game; but never quit.

[markmiller]

Buckeye fan and also a fan of Quinn Ewers and coach Sark. Congrats to Texas on a great season. No doubt we'll see you again in future playoffs.

[beavisplay]

heavyweight fight - exactly. sometime early in the 4th, i was thinking it felt more like an NFL game than college.

Jack sawyer has been imprinted on my heart

[funtv]

There’s been a few moments where Will Howard has thrown some costly interceptions but dude was looking like a NFL caliber quarterback last night throwing wide receivers open throwing into tight windows. He is so underrated I feel like he’s been nothing but disrespected. I love the dude. I’m glad he’s a buckeye.

Jack holds the Cotton Bowl sack record with 3 last year. He is going to be a Cotton Bowl HOFer after that 83 yd strip sack scoop score 6.

[RyanSpencer-fxtb]

Ohio State didn’t play their best game tonight. I wasn’t feeling good about the second half. Texas wasn’t going down easy. Great commentary. Sawyer is an animal and instant legend. Go Bucks!!

[Yes]

Respect to Texas. They endured all the trash talking and almost won.

[donwilson]

Well done Ohio State, so proud of Texas. No shame in losing to the eventual national champs( most likely).

[studiedturtle]

Natty Time Boys, this all we got left to fight for just one more game. Ryan Day your time is now!!!

[GABuckeyegirl]

Go Bucks, Texas yall played a great tough game too. So proud of these guys, the best group of players I have had the pleasure to watch. Absolutely love Will Howard, he doesn’t get enough credit. He is a leader and the players love him. And Captain Jack, oh my goodness. So many others, Gee Scott fighting for those extra yards to give us 4th and short. Unbelievable game, O-H!

[nathanpayne]

Texas has dudes and their defense is for real. They are a lot like OSU where if their offense was as consistent as the defense they would be undefeated. Great game!! A final four with no blowouts is good stuff

[Bobbybrown]

Texas coach blew it before half & 1st goal play calling! Yes a great fight ! Big boy football....

[UrbanKnightMedia]

Day and Kelly was calling the Michigan game plan! Need to go back to the counter plays and the eye candy motion!

[JDeubel]

Let's be honest too this was a home game for taxes this didn't matter if you're playing at their field for their school is or here in Dallas this was a home Texas game no matter what just like the always do for Georgia it seems like they always have a home game in Atlanta when it's some bowl game always but these SEC schools always try to find a way to make it a home game for their teams
