GLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) -- Texas did not get a chance to play for the BCS national title, so a thrilling BCS bowl victory will have to do.
Colt McCoy threw a 26-yard TD pass to Quan Cosby with 16 seconds to play, lifting No. 3 Texas to a 24-21 victory over 10th-ranked Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.
McCoy threw for a career-high 413 yards and hooked up with Cosby 14 times. Their final connection capped an 11-play, 78-yard scoring drive as Cosby caught a slant and broke one tackle on his way to the end zone.
Ohio State (10-3) was down 17-6 entering the fourth quarter but had taken a 21-17 lead on a 15-yard TD run by Dan Herron with 2:05 to play.
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
