A 1993 Thrifty Holiday Bowl watch presented to cornerback Shawn Springs.  The Buckeyes finished the regular season 9-1-1, tying Wisconsin and losing to Michigan. Despite being a Top 15 ranked team, the Buckeyes were relegated to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. This game was famous for John Cooper's Guarantee that Ohio State would win their bowl game. He fulfilled his promise, but needed some magic.  BYU's Tim Nowatzke dropped a touchdown pass with just a few seconds remaining that would have brought the Cougars within an extra point of tying the game.  Instead, the Buckeyes held on to a 28-21 victory.  Raymont Harris ran for 235 yards and three scores for Ohio State.

Perfect for display, but if the watch is going to be worn, the clasp does not shut and will need to be repaired.
