No. 3 Texas 24, No. 10 Ohio State 21
A senior-laden team fell short of a third straight national title game and fell just short of victory in this BCS bowl matchup with the Longhorns. The Buckeyes rallied with two fourth-quarter touchdowns, but Texas QB Colt McCoy hit Quan Cosby for the winning 26-yard touchdown with 16 seconds left. In their fifth trip in seven years to Arizona, the Buckeyes fell to 3-2 in the desert. They wouldn't be back for another seven years.
