Ohio State’s Ryan Day believes Jack Sawyer’s stunning play made him a Buckeye legend

Ohio State Football head coach Ryan Day made an emotional statement about star Buckeye defensive end Jack Savier. The Scarlet and Gray posted a dramatic 28-14 victory over No. 3 Texas in the Cotton Bowl to advance to the national championship game. A heartbreaking loss for Michigan a month and a half ago, he lit the program on fire, leading to three impressive wins in a row. The Buckeyes passed the gauntlet and will now face No. 1 Notre Dame. 5 for all marbles.

This program came together Dai, who had people calling for his firing heading to College Football Playoff. This determination was shown by Jack Sawyer, who played the game on Friday night. The older one had an 83-yard scoop-and-score on fourth-and-goal for the Longhorns to put the Buckeyes up 28-14 with nearly two minutes left in the game. Day reflected in a postgame interview with ESPN’s Holly Rowe what was the meaning of this game of sealing to Sawyer’s Legacy in Columbus.

“To make a play like that in that moment… You want to leave a legacy behind?” You are becoming a legend. He just became a legend in the state of Ohio.”

Jack Sawyer and Ryan Day are reshaping their legacies at Ohio State

November 30 Jack Sawyer has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. The senior was filmed giving an angry NSFW message as Michigan placed a flag over the Ohio State logo. Sawyer had never beaten the school’s biggest rival during his successful career, and it’s understandable why he reacted that way, given the emotion surrounding “The Game.”

Sawyer, however, responded to this adversity in the postseason in the best possible way. The two-time All-Big Ten selection recorded four and a half sacks in the Buckeyes’ three CFP wins. Overall, Ohio State’s defense was a threat down the stretch. This unit held Texas and Oregon to season lows, and Tennessee didn’t fare much better. The defense, especially Sawyer, will be as key as ever against a Notre Dame team that looks to impose its physical will on opponents.

Overall, for a program that has been criticized for its inability to get results, Ohio State football showed that quality tonight. Fans might be shocked by Jack Sawyer’s sealing of the game play, but this team is not. The Buckeyes play disciplined and angry. Tennessee, Oregon and Texas have already suffered the consequences of running into this saw. If there was any doubt that Jack Sawyer isn’t a Buckeye legend now, the Columbus, Ohio native can leave no doubt on Jan. 20 against Notre Dame.
