Red Zone Woes Costs Texas in Cotton Bowl loss to Ohio State

ARLINGTON – Texas’s season ended in the red zone of the College Football semifinal for the second consecutive year. Last year, it was an incomplete pass by Quinn Ewers in a Sugar Bowl loss to Washington. On Friday night at AT&T Stadium, Ewers was strip sacked by his former roommate at Ohio State, Jack Sawyer, who then rumbled 83 yards the other direction to give the Buckeyes a 28-14 lead and a ticket to the national championship game against Notre Dame. 

“It sucks being on this side of things back-to-back years,” Ewers said after the game. “It’s hard, all the work we put in, being in the Final Four back-to-back years and coming up short, it’s tough.”
