10. 2011 Sugar Bowl
Ohio State 31, Arkansas 26
Ohio State had a 31-13 lead late in the third quarter, helped by a 43-yard Terrelle Pryor touchdown pass to DeVier Posey and a 15-yard throw to Dane Sanzenbacher, but had to hang on for dear life. Arkansas mounted a huge comeback with a 19-3 run from the end of the second half on.

Zach Hocker nailed three field goals and Ryan Mallett connected with Jarius Wright for a 22-yard score, and things got interesting late as a safety, taking OSU running back Dan Herron and pushing him back into the end zone, brought the Hogs within eight before Hocker's 47-yard shot with 8:55 to play made it a five-point game.


This TD grab by DeVier Posey was key for Ohio State in the 2011 Sugar Bowl.
Mallett got his final chance closer than expected with a blocked punt putting the ball deep in Buckeye territory, but OSU's Solomon Thomas picked off a Mallett pass in the final seconds to seal the program's first bowl win over an SEC team.

Ohio State DT Cameron Heyward made six tackles, a sack, and 3.5 tackles for loss and broke up two passes.

The Boar War

Just as I figured.  History will make no mention of the ineligible players who were granted a one game reprieve.
