ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jack Sawyer returned a fumble 83 yards for a scoop-and-score touchdown, ending a potential game-tying drive by Texas and sending Ohio State to a 28-14 victory in a College Football Playoff semifinal on Friday night. No. 8 seed Ohio State (13-2) advances to face No. 7 seed Notre Dame (14-1) in the CFP national championship game, which will be played on Jan. 20 in Atlanta. Ohio State, a 9 1/2-point favorite, will be looking to win its first championship since 2014. Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins rushed for two touchdowns and Will Howard threw for one, but Sawyer emerged as the star of the night.
