Buckeyes vs Longhorns Heisman Showdown | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Ohio State heads to Austin for a high-stakes showdown against Texas, aiming to extend their two-year dominance over the Longhorns. With the College Football Playoff format changing the stakes, a loss won’t end their season—but a win could solidify their playoff position. Quarterback Julian Sayin and star receiver Jeremiah Smith look to ignite an explosive offense, while Arch Manning seeks redemption after last year’s gritty loss. Texas brings home-field advantage and improved play from Manning, but injuries to key players like Derrek Cooper could hurt their chances. Betting trends favor Ohio State, who’s covered the spread in 70% of games since last season, while Texas struggles to cover. The key battle? Smith vs. Texas’ defense—his breakout game could be the difference. Expect Ohio State to pull away late, adding another chapter to their rivalry victory streak.
