Will Howard made one of the biggest plays of Ohio State's Cotton Bowl win over Texas with his legs. Unfortunately for the quarterback, who will attempt to lead the Buckeyes to a national championship on Monday, the play also got him made fun of by his offensive coordinator and one of the team's star defenders.
On a crucial fourth-and-2 from the Texas 34-yard-line, OC Chip Kelly dialed up a quarterback power, and the play worked to perfection. Howard hit a wide-open hole and took off sprinting with nothing but grass ahead of him... until he tripped untouched at the 20. Howard wound up picking up 18 yards and set up a touchdown run by Quinshon Judkins to put Ohio State up 21–14 four plays later.
