Colt McCoy's 26-yard touchdown pass to Quan Cosby with 16 seconds remaining lifted third-ranked Texas to a 24-21 Fiesta Bowl win over No. 10 Ohio State, as the Buckeyes were dealt another crushing defeat in a BCS postseason contest. McCoy, named the game's offensive MVP, finished 41-of-59 for 414 yards through the air, while Cosby had a spectacular performance in his last collegiate game, making 14 catches for 171 yards and a pair of scores for the Longhorns (12-1). Texas' only blemish on the season was a last-second 39-33 loss at Texas Tech on November 1. Daniel Herron ran 15 yards for the go-ahead score with 2:05 remaining for the Buckeyes (10-3), until McCoy's heroics turned the game around. The Longhorns were left out of the national championship equation despite a one-loss season. They had a gripe after losing out on a three-team tiebreaker for a chance to play in the Big 12 title game. Oklahoma was the beneficiary of the tie-breaking system and faces Florida for the BCS crown, though the Longhorn faithful remember when Texas rolled to a 45-35 victory over the Sooners at a neutral site earlier in the season. Monday marked Texas' fifth straight bowl victory. The Buckeyes were in a BCS bowl game for a fourth straight year and seventh time overall. They had lost the national title game the previous two years. Todd Boeckman and Terrelle Pryor worked Ohio State's two-quarterback system. Boeckman hit Pryor with a scoring pass and the Buckeyes scored 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter before faltering. Chris "Beanie" Wells ran for 106 yards for Ohio State, but a concussion forced him out of the game most of the second half. Boeckman finished the game 5-of-11 passing for 110 yards. Pryor went 5-of-14 for 66 yards and also ran for 78 yards. Brian Robiskie had five catches for 116 yards for the Buckeyes.
