Jack Sawyer, an Ohio State hero, shares the 2-word message Quinn Ewers gave him after a touchdown.
Ewers fumbled and Sawyer ran it 82 yards for a touchdown.
On Friday night, Jack Sawyer became an Ohio State legend by scoring a goal against his former roommate.
Sawyer scored a touchdown for the Buckeyes by evading blockers and forcing a fumble, which he picked up and ran 82 yards to the end zone. This helped the Buckeyes win 28-14 over Texas and secure a spot in the national championship.
During his one season in Columbus, Ewers shared a room with Sawyer before transferring to Texas.
Ewers couldn't resist jabbing Sawyer when they spoke on the field.
According to ESPN, Sawyer stated that the individual was walking away and said "screw you" before beginning to laugh.
"My roommate was highly respected by me and the rest of the Texas team."
The Longhorns had a chance to tie the game, but a nightmare ensued. After getting stuffed on first down at the goal line, Quintrevion Wisner lost seven yards on a second-down toss, putting Texas in trouble. A third down pass fell incomplete. And Sawyer's scoop and score happened on fourth down.
Just like that, it was all over when Ewers threw a pick on the next drive, hoping for a miracle.
It will be intriguing to observe if Ewers' plans for the NFL next season alter before the game.
Despite being the eighth seed, Ohio State is favored by over a touchdown to defeat No. 7 Notre Dame in the national championship on January 20.
