Glendale, AZ (Betting Express) - 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 MVP, finished 41-of-58 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 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. Chris "Beanie" Wells ran for over 100 yards for Ohio State, but an injury forced him out of the game in the second half.
