Ohio State’s Jack Sawyer clowns Will Howard for stumbling in the Cotton Bowl

Ohio State Football defensive end Jack Sawyer gives his teammate a little taunt Will Howard. Sawyer clowns Howard for tripping and falling in the Cotton Bowl team’s victory over Texas.

Howard tripped on the play that probably cost him a touchdown. Sawyer actually had a touchdown, when he forced a fumble by Texas quarterback Quinn Evers. Sawyer returned that fumble for a touchdown, untouched. In the last game, Sawyer joked about his ball and goal. He discovered what was going through his mind as he returned the groping.

“S**t, just don’t go down like Will. No, I’m kidding,” Sawyer told The Athletic.

The win was bittersweet for Sawyer, as the defensive end played in Texas. He was actually the roommate of Texas quarterback Evers, who he knocked it down to make that play.

“The coaches just put me in a good position and I saw the ball come right to me after I hit him. “I just thought I had to stay on my feet because like I said, I almost passed out when I saw nothing but green grass in front of me,” Sawyer said after the game, according to Newsbreak.

Ohio State overcame mistakes against Texas

The Buckeyes took advantage of Texas mistakes to pull away from the Longhorns. Sawyer’s ball and score was a dagger in the heart of the Texas football team.

Howard actually threw an interception in the game, and ended up not having one of his best performances. The Ohio State quarterback finished the contest with 289 yards passing, along with a touchdown and an interception. He struggled with an arm injury, which may have played a role in his passing mechanics.

At one game, Howard stumbled and fell while running on open ground.

“I fell on purpose.” I’m not kidding. It should have been a tremendous touchdown,” Howard told The Athletic.

Ohio State football forced two turnovers in the gameand won the reversal battle. It was a big reason why the Buckeyes ended up winning. Against Texas, Ohio State’s offense actually had fewer first downs and fewer total plays. The team also committed more penalties.

Ohio State has put together three solid games in this College Football Playoff, playing great defense. The team defeated Tennessee, Oregon and Texas to reach the national championship game. The team, which was the early favorite to win it all, now has a chance to do just that.
