College football fans couldn't look away from the large and gruesome-looking lump that formed on Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard's hand in the first half of Friday's CFP semifinal game.

During the first half of Friday’s Cotton Bowl matchup between Ohio State and Texas, fans noticed a golf ball-sized knot near the middle knuckle on the left hand

DALLAS -- Jeremiah Smith just his least productive game as a college football player and Ohio State still won by 14 points. Texas’ entire game plan was telling the Buckeyes that everyone but the freshman wide receiver was allowed to touch the ball. The result was only one three-yard catch as the Buckeyes had to look elsewhere for offense.
