Between offensive line struggles, Julian Sayin's pick-six and another missed field goal from Jayden Fielding, two key fourth-quarter plays might be forgotten from Ohio State's loss to Miami.
Twice on Miami's game-sealing drive, the Ohio State defense had a chance to get off the field on third down and give its offense one last shot to win the ballgame. Twice, it failed.
This isn't to pin the Buckeyes' season-ending defeat in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals at the Cotton Bowl on the defense. Not in the slightest. The defense kept Ohio State afloat for much of the game as the offense – ultimately, too late – found its footing.
