Ohio State football had a crushing loss in the final seconds of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The tenth ranked Buckeyes went into the game as underdogs, but were able to take a six to three lead into the half. The high powered Texas offense led by quarterback Colt McCoy took care of business in the second half. McCoy finished the game with a school-record 41 of 59 passes for 414 yards and two touchdowns, ran for a score and was picked off once.
The Buckeyes came to play during the Fiesta Bowl and Chris “Beanie” Wells was no exception. The junior tailback ran for a very impressive one-hundred and six yards in sixteen carries before being forced to miss much of the second half with a concussion. The Buckeyes went with a two headed monster at quarterback with senior Todd Boeckman who went five for eleven for one-hundred and ten yards and a touchdown subbing in for true freshman Terrelle Pryor who threw for sixty-six yards, ran for seventy-eight, and caught a touchdown as a wide receiver. The two quarterbacks played well in tandem, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Ohio State Buckeyes from dropping their third straight Bowl Championship Series Bowl game.
It looked like Ohio State was going to stop the Bowl Championship skid at two games when Buckeyes running back Dan Herron scooted fifteen yards for a touchdown that gave Ohio State a four point lead at 21-17 with two minutes and five seconds to go. Unfortunately
for the Buckeyes Colt McCoy and the Longhorns had too much time left on the clock. After the Longhorns took over on their own twenty-two yard line McCoy went to work.
The Buckeyes had held the Longhorns down as long as they could. Colt McCoy led the Longhorns on an eleven play, seventy-eight yard drive that took only a minute forty two and was capped off by a twenty-six yard touchdown pass to Quan Cosby, who had a monster game with 14 receptions for 171 yards and two touchdowns. When asked about his teams chances of gaining a share of the National Championship Texas quarterback Colt McCoy said, “I don’t think there’s anybody in the country that can beat us at this point”.
Unfortunately for Colt, the Texans, and the rest of the country we’ll never know. For Texas to have had a shot at a piece of a National Championship they would have had to blow Ohio State off of the field. The pollsters are not going to be impressed enough with a four point win against the tenth ranked team in the country who was missing its best running back for most of the second half to vote Texas into the number one slot.
The Texas Longhorns will likely have to be satisfied they won a compelling game on national television and that they have McCoy coming back for next season. The Buckeyes have plenty to look forward to as well. Longhorn Coach Mack Brown had this to say about Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor, “He will be a guy that’s in a Heisman race, and it may be sooner than we think because he is a leader”.
