Ohio State faces Texas in the Cotton Bowl semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl ( 7:30 ET , ESPN ) Ohio State's recruiting class of 2021 was among the best in the country, ranked No. 2 nationally with seven five -star prospects.

At least eight players who were projected to be picked in the NFL draft, some of them in the early rounds, elected to stay in school.

Ohio State's senior players have been the steadying force in this postseason revival.

Coach Chip Kelly says it's rare in this day and age of college football that a program of such a caliber has so many fourth- and fifth-year seniors.

"It's an angry team, and we've played that way," quarterback Will Howard says.

Freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith has provided the voltage with four touchdown catches and 290 receiving yards .
