The Texas Longhorns gave us a never-say-die performance in their come from behind win over the Ohio State Buckeyes. The two teams made Monday Night's Fiesta Bowl game a worthy preview to this coming Thursday's BCS Championship game between #1 Oklahoma and #2 Florida.

The Longhorns scored the winning touchdown of the game with 16 seconds left on the game clock. The Buckeyes fought gallantly but Texas, on their final drive with about 1:42 left, seemed determined to matriculate the ball down the field and get into the end zone.

Congratulations Texas Longhorns

Final Score
Longhorns 24
Buckeyes 21
