When a collapse this spectacular happens, every mistake deserves a second look.
For Ohio State, there were plenty to examine.
The Buckeyes spent three quarters looking every bit the best team in the country their No. 1 ranking warranted. Then came the the final 15 minutes that saw them blow a 20-point lead in a stunning 24-23 loss to Texas.
The Longhorns deserve credit for a furious fourth-quarter rally. After digging themselves into a deep hole with a series of early mistakes, they responded with 21 unanswered points to pull off one of the season's biggest comebacks.
Texas vs Ohio State: Arch Manning leads winners and losers from dramatic comeback

#ohio #every #buckeyes

Down 23-3 in the fourth quarter. Twenty-one unanswered points - against the No. 1 team in the country. A Heisman Trophy campaign that roared back to life. The return of Texas football's running game, redemption for a quarterback and a program, and a huge win over the Buckeyes that has Texas in place to possibly become the new No. 1 team in the country.
Saturday night's 24-23 thriller had it all.

(Mikala Compton/Austin American-Statesman)
As bad as Texas' start was, as bad as things looked at halftime and the third quarter, as unlucky and plodding as the Longhorns looked, all that turned around in the fourth quarter. After surviving what was probably the worst first quarter of the Steve Sarkisian era, No. 4 Texas produced perhaps the biggest win ever at Royal-Memorial Stadium.
Here are some observations we saw from Saturday's win:

#royal #memorial

Steve Sarkisian didn't have a mic drop moment in No. 3 Texas football's 24-23 comeback win vs. top-ranked Ohio State.
As a matter of fact, he never even saw one in the Longhorns' home win at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. He twice declined an interview with ABC during the game, first with Laura Rutledge at halftime, then again with Holly Rowe immediately following the game.
Texas shocks Ohio State: Epic Longhorns rally or Buckeyes choke job?
Instead, Sarkisian told Rowe he was going to sing "Texas Fight" with his team, doing the Hook 'em gesture at the camera and then leaving a clearly frustrated Rowe by herself.

Texas football news: Robert Griffin III says Longhorns let Arch Manning down appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Texas Longhorns took on the Ohio State Buckeyes Saturday night in a star-studded affair that saw Kevin Durant testing his quarterback skills and Matthew McConaughey narrating an exciting hype video. Texas QB Arch Manning took the field in a matchup against budding rival Julian Sayin but had a rough first half as Ohio State seized a 23-3 lead headed into the fourth quarter.
Manning threw an interception that fans couldn't believe, as he lofted a well-placed pass that was bobbled, dropped, and picked off. With just 60 yards at halftime, Manning's performance was heavily scrutinized, while former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL Pro Bowler pointed the finger at his Longhorns teammates.
"Texas' WRs are letting Arch Manning down," Griffin III said matter-of-factly as the game continued to progress.

Ohio State football set the tone with Jay Timmons' takeaway on the first play Saturday in Austin. Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith gashed Texas from there.
Smith found cracks in the Longhorns secondary, continuing to further prove his receiving dominance. He walked into halftime catching six passes for 110 yards and scoring once, as OSU took a big 20-3 lead into halftime.
Smith forced Texas into early fundamental mistakes, including getting this defender to take the wrong hip turn.

Texas football news: Watch Kevin Durant test his QB arm at Ohio State clash appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Texas Longhorns welcomed Ohio State to Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday for a big game that didn't go the 'Horns' way early, as the Buckeyes jumped out to a 20-3 halftime lead. Texas quarterback Arch Manning made a brutally honest admission about last year's game film of his team's loss to Ohio State but did little to change it as he completed only 50% of his passes in the first half for 60 yards with one interception.
The game included celebrity pregame appearances from Houston Rockets star and Longhorns alum Kevin Durant along with actor Matthew McConaughey, who narrated an ice-cold hype video before the marquee matchup.
Durant got plenty of attention as he was seen on the sidelines showing off his quarterback skills on the same night as Manning and Ohio State QB Julian Sayin's duel. He appeared calm and content in a black T-shirt, long pants, and white baseball cap, looking like he could pass as a college quarterback while slinging passes with ease.

It's halftime in Austin with Ohio State and Texas engaging in one of the most anticipated nonconference games of the college football season. The Buckeyes used some Longhorn mistakes and some excellent play on both sides of the ball to take a 20-3 lead into the locker room, which is banking the national narrative in this one.
We like to look back on the first half and take three observations and takeaways from what we saw through the first 30 minutes of action, and in this case, there's plenty to talk about. Here are three observations from what we saw from the Buckeyes and Longhorns in the first half of what should be one whale of a second half to finish this thing out.
Ohio State forces a fumble against Texas on the first play of the game😤

(via ESPN) pic.twitter.com/kxvE7F9D0B
The defense hasn't been very stingy in stopping the run through the middle, but it has been very opportunistic in forcing two turnovers. Both of them led to two scores and have really been the difference in the game so far. You have to think that the turnovers aren't going to continue, so Ohio State will have to continue to make plays while getting equal possessions.
Jeremiah Smith: Freakshow

Ohio State superstar wide receiver Jeremiah Smith knew exactly how to troll Texas after scoring a touchdown right before halftime in Austin on Saturday night.
At the tail end of a brutal half for the Longhorns, the Buckeyes got a last-minute touchdown on a beautiful catch from Smith.
TEXAS: Arch Manning's perplexed reaction to this improbable INT was priceless
After he got Ohio State that key touchdown, he broke out the infamous "Horns Down" hand motion to mock the Texas fans in the stands.
Of course, there's no better way to poke fun at Texas than with the "Horns Down," which isn't penalized in the SEC. Opponents have free reign over the hand signal, and they take advantage of it.

Ohio State football defensive end Zion Grady exited the Sept. 12 game against Texas on Saturday due to an injury.
The defensive end was taken off the field with 9:48 remaining in the second quarter of the game when the Buckeyes led the Longhorns 10-0.
Here's what we know about Grady's injury:
Grady was seen laying on the field after a Texas first-down run. He struggled to put weight on his right leg as two trainers ******* isted him off the field and straight into the medical tent.
According to WBNS Radio, 97.1 The Fan, Grady suffered a right knee sprain.

#texas #game

Texas hasn't started well against Ohio State on Saturday.
The Longhorns' first drive ended in a fumble, and the Buckeyes took a 3-0 lead. After that, Texas got the ball back, but it ended in an interception. It's probably one of the craziest interceptions you'll ever see.

Longhorns wide receiver Cam Coleman couldn't come up with the ball, and it was intercepted.
This is the third time in the last 20 seasons that the Longhorns turned the ball over on their first two drives. The two turnovers also came within the first five minutes of the first quarter.

Early big-time college football matchups are all the rage, and the Philadelphia Eagles will have representatives in Austin for one of the most talent-rich games on the early college football schedule.
Philadelphia is among 16 NFL organizations expected to have scouts present when No. 1 Ohio State visits No. 4 Texas on Saturday night at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The Eagles will join the Cowboys, Seahawks, 49ers, Broncos, Colts, Patriots, Panthers, Lions, Chargers, Texans, Ravens, Rams, Dolphins, Jets and Browns in evaluating two rosters loaded with potential NFL talent.
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is expected to become one of the most coveted prospects in the 2027 draft. His matchup against Texas' secondary will give evaluators another opportunity to study his releases, route running, and ability to produce against top competition.
The following NFL teams will have reps present at Ohio State - Texas tonight:

• Eagles
• Cowboys
• Seahawks
• 49ers
• Broncos
• Colts
• Patriots
• Panthers
• Lions
• Chargers
• Texans
• Ravens
• Rams
• Dolphins
• Jets
• Browns
Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin and Texas quarterback Arch Manning will receive plenty of attention, even from organizations without an immediate need at the position. Comprehensive quarterback evaluations remain valuable because their eventual landing spots can influence the entire draft board. Texas edge defender Colin Simmons is another prospect capable of commanding the attention of Philadelphia's personnel department. His ability to pressure the quarterback and defend the run fits the athletic profile the Eagles have consistently valued along the defensive front.

The top-ranked Ohio State football team started the year with a 56-3 win over Ball State, but the degree of difficulty cranks up significantly with a Week 2 matchup against Texas.
OSU's game against the No. 3 Longhorns is part of what experts rank as one of the hardest 2026 schedules in the country. In fact, the Buckeyes entered this week as the underdog, ending a streak of 32 straight games in which Ohio State was favored.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz joined the set of ESPN's "College GameDay" on Saturday morning in Austin to push landmark legislation to regulate college sports ahead of the Texas Longhorns' highly anticipated matchup with the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.
He did not receive a warm welcome.
Cruz, clad in a burnt orange blazer, was consistently booed by the raucous crowd of Longhorns faithful throughout his nine-minute interview, with fans breaking into chants of "Ted, you suck" and "Get him off."
He did not acknowledge the jeers, which came on a campus that gave the senator less than 20% of the vote in his 2024 re-election. The Chronicle has reached out to Cruz's office.
Cruz was in attendance to push the Protect College Sports Act, a bill he co-authored with Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Washington. The legislation is scheduled for a vote in the Senate next week.

Week 2 is upon us, and it's also bringing an uptick in high-profile matchups on Saturday.
The game of the week, by a wide margin, will be played in Austin, Texas, as the Texas Longhorns host the Ohio State Buckeyes for a rematch of last year's Week 1 loss in a game that will pit two top-five teams against each other. That's not the only SEC-Big Ten rematch of note, as the Michigan Wolverines host the Oklahoma Sooners after last week's controversial Hail Mary win over Western Michigan.

The NFL played two of its 16 Week 1 matchups, Wednesday's New England Patriots-Seattle Seahawks opener and Thursday's San Francisco 49ers-Los Angeles Rams game in Melbourne, and now waits until Sunday for the rest of the slate.
College football fills that gap tonight, and it's doing it with the No. 1 team in the country walking into Austin. Ohio State takes on Texas at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC, a rematch of last year's opener that the Buckeyes won 14-7, except this time, both programs enter ranked in the top four.
The marquee matchup arrives at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC, when No. 1 Ohio State visits No. 4 Texas in Austin. In that same primetime window, Louisiana Tech visits No. 8 LSU on SECN+, and No. 13 Texas Tech travels to Oregon State on CBS.
The day opens with a stacked noon slate with No. 6 Oregon at Oklahoma State on ESPN, Howard at No. 5 Indiana on Big Ten Network, Arizona State at No. 10 Texas A&M on ABC, No. 11 Oklahoma at Michigan on FOX, and No. 16 Penn State at Temple on ESPN2.

Jeremiah Smith wasted no time throwing his hat in the ring for the Heisman Trophy and the Biletnikoff Award.
In Ohio State's season-opening win over Ball State, the Buckeyes' star receiver totaled 151 yards and two touchdowns on eight catches, turning in a performance that put him alongside Miami's Malachi Toney among the nation's top wide receiver standouts in Week 1.
It marked the 12th time in his career that Smith recorded at least 100 receiving yards, which is the third-most all-time by an Ohio State wide receiver.

For the third consecutive offseason, Ohio State's coaching staff underwent a significant change as Ryan Day had to replace one of his coordinators.
And for the second consecutive time, Day looked to the NFL for an answer.
Following Brian Hartline's departure for a Group of Five head coaching opportunity, Day tabbed former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith to take over play-calling duties for a Buckeyes offense headlined by Heisman Trophy hopefuls Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith.
REQUIRED READING: Arthur Smith made his mark in a high-achieving family. Can he leave one at Ohio State?
Smith is the latest big name to come to Columbus to be part of Day's staff, following in the footsteps of former offensive coordinator Chip Kelly — a decision that kick-started this trend as it came when Day gave up his play-calling duties — and Matt Patricia, who willed the Buckeyes' defense into one of the nation's top units last season.

The game of the week for college football looks to be the top 5 matchup when the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Austin, TX to take on the No. 4 Texas Longhorns at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12 on ABC.
Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler will lead the broadcast. The Longhorns are favored by 1.5 points.
Ohio State holds a 3-2 lead in the all-time series between the teams, including a 28-14 win in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 10, 2025 and a 14-7 win at the Shoe on Aug. 30, 2025 in week one of last season.

The Texas Longhorns have on heck of an opportunity to send a message to the Ohio State Buckeyes and the rest of college football that yes, they are for real and that Steve Sarkisian is ready to author a breakthrough season.
Can they get it done against the top-ranked Buckeyes? Will Texas A&M be tested by Arizona State? Is Dabo Swinney done in Clemson?
Columnists Cedric Golden and Kirk Bohls delve into these and college football's other hot-button topics in this week's Take Ten segment.
BOHLS: It's as close to a must-win as you can get after losing the two matchups the last two seasons. A loss would greatly reduce the Longhorns' margin for error and also continue to paint Texas as a program that can't get over the hump. It would also greatly diminish the reputations of Steve Sarkisian and Arch Manning. However, the reverse should be true. Texas will make the two biggest plays of the game and hang on for a 27-24 win over the Buckeyes.
GOLDEN: The Horns don't want any part of being 1-1 with games remaining against six other ranked opponents. It's imperative they get off to a great start, and that means scoring a first quarter touchdown, something they haven't done in their last five games against Ohio State and the thorn disguised as the Georgia Bulldogs. They're 0-5 in those games, by the way. Now, if the offensive line holds up, Sarkisian gets his signature win. Give me the Horns, 34-30.

This weekend marks a solemn anniversary in our nation's history. 25 years ago on September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked by terrorists that hijacked commercial airlines and flew them into both towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. On Saturday, both the Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes will honor that tragedy on their helmets.
It has been called this generation's Pearl Harbor. 9/11 is a day that everyone remembers exactly what they were doing when they found out America had been attacked. 2,977 died as a result of the terrorist attacks. The horrific memories are vivid even now. Every year, there are remembrances on the anniversary. But this year is different. 25 years is a grim milestone of morning that changed the world forever.
Remembering those we lost, and those who answered the call#NeverForget pic.twitter.com/8QXhqaPFwB
Texas and Ohio State will wear commemorative decals on their helmets to honor the victims and first responders that America lost on that day. 441 emergency workers died on 9/11, making it the largest loss of first responders in a single day in U.S. history.
We will never forget those whose lives were lost on September 11th, 2001.

Tomorrow, we’ll wear these decals in remembrance and honor of their memory. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/FuPSLpqN14

Being the Buckeye beat's black sheep blog, we here at Land-Grant Holy Land like to pat ourselves on the back. So, throughout the season, members of our staff will be making predictions about that day's game. They will go on the record with what they think the final score will be, who the game's MVP will be, and what the major storyline will be coming out of the day.
Tomorrow, the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes will actually get to play a marquee primetime game as they travel to Austin to take on the No. 4 Texas Longhorns. The two teams will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET in a game airing on ABC. The matchup is easily the biggest game of the non-conference slate this season, and could potentially prove to be the most consequential matchup of the regular season.
It will be the third time that the Bucks and Horns have played in as many seasons, with OSU winning in the College Football Playoff in 2024 and then in the subsequent season's opener. There is a ton on the line for both teams, as each wants to stake its claim to the pole position in the race for the national **** le.
Texas, playing at home, is currently a 1.5-point favorite, according to FanDuel. The book projects the total points line at 49.5. If you think you are better at prognosticating than our experts, maybe go and put your money where your mouth is.

Ohio State vs. Texas prediction, odds, pick for Week 2 blockbuster appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
In the past, an early-season game between top-ranked Ohio State and No. 4 Texas might have been classified as an elimination game. The winner would emerge as a potential favorite to end up as the national champion while the loser would somehow try to convince itself that there was still something to play for even though it went down to defeat against a superior opponent.
That's no longer the case as the College Football Playoff will give the loser of this game another chance — as long as it can rebound from the loss and show dominance in the majority of its remaining games.
Ohio State and Texas have played each other in the last two seasons and Ryan Day's Buckeyes have gotten the best of the Longhorns each time. Steve Sarkisian should have his team primed for a huge effort as Ohio State travels to Austin this time before the Longhorns' loud and hungry fans.

ESPN's "College GameDay" was back last weekend for Lane Kiffin's LSU debut, and in Week 2, it will air live from one of the most anticipated regular-season games of the 2026 season. GameDay will be at Ohio State vs. Texas in Austin, Texas.
GameDay starts at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN and runs until noon on Saturday, Sept. 12. The crew consisting of Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit, Nick Saban and Pat McAfee will have their game picks and all the Week 2 ****** ysis.
In recent years, GameDay has been criticized for prioritizing SEC games over traveling across the country to showcase other college game-day atmospheres. This week, however, GameDay did not mess around, selecting the marquee matchup of the week between the Longhorns and Buckeyes. Other options included Kentucky hosting Alabama and Oklahoma at Michigan, but even those aren't top-4 battles like Texas-Ohio State.
Actor Glenn Powell, who completed his undergraduate degree at Texas, will be the celebrity guest picker.
The show also already announced that it will attend the LSU at Ole Miss game in Week 3.
