I Think My Heart Just Stopped

I don't how many of you were watching last night, but the Fiesta Bowl was ridiculous! UT was up against Ohio State, which should have been no challenge after some of the teams we played this year. The first half was super slow and boring with only 1 field goal for UT and 2 field goals for OSU. After the half, UT came out a little more revved up and were able to score two touchdowns in the 3rd quarter, using most of the clock up. Then OSU scored another field goal and a touchdown, but they went for their first two point conversion of the season and didn't get it. So the score was at 15 OSU - 17 UT. Then, with two minutes left in the 4th, OSU scores a freakin' touchdown. Luckily, they tried the 2 point conversion again and missed. However, the damage was done and UT had to score a touchdown to win.

By this time, you can imagine that my house was a screaming, anxious mass. We had 5 people over to watch the game and it was very loud in my living room. My brother in law, Hayden was pacing continually around the kitchen and living room, grabbing tortilla chips whenever UT had a bad play. With 16 seconds left, Quan Cosby, a senior, dove into the end zone for a touchdown!!! We all jumped up and cheered. Then we sat on our hands for the next 16 seconds waiting for OSU not to score again. Please no repeat of the Texas Tech game. But we won!

It was such a nail biter that my heart was racing for the last 7 minutes of the game. I could barely sleep last night because I was so hyped up. Granted this was not UT's best game and it should not have been nearly this close. Ohio State is a good team most years, but not really this season. It was a great game and I was so glad that Quan Cosby got to end his college football career by saving the Fiesta Bowl for UT! In case you didn't watch the game last night, let me leave you with a pic of the game winning touchdown and the UT team celebrating. GO HORNS!!
