Longhorns, Buckeyes Ready for Fiesta Bowl

Ohio State's best defense might be a clock-controlling offense. The Buckeyes may try to feed the Longhorns a steady diet of tailback Beanie Wells — he runs for 121 yards per game, seventh in the nation — and keep McCoy and Co. off the field. If that doesn't work, it may be another long January night for the Buckeyes.

"We've got some great backs in the Big 12, but not a big back with quick feet and capable of doing what he's doing," Texas linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy said. "You have to pin your ears back and just go. You live for games like this."
