In Ohio State's Cotton Bowl win over Texas, the Eleven Warriors staff thinks three Buckeyes stood out above the rest as we named defensive end Jack Sawyer, running back TreVeyon Henderson and defensive back Caleb Downs as our Three Stars of the Game.
First Star: Jack Sawyer

Sawyer, the lifeblood of Ohio State’s 2024 team, made the play of the season in the Cotton Bowl. With the Buckeyes leading 21-14 late in the fourth quarter, the Longhorns marched to the goal line and were inches from evening the score.
