Herbstreit Returns to Austin for Rivalry Rematch | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Kirk Herbstreit is returning to Austin for the Ohio State vs. Texas showdown — a matchup he first called two decades ago in 2005, when both teams were ranked 1 and 2. That historic game, decided by three points and featuring Vince Young and Troy Smith, launched Herbstreit’s broadcasting career and left him awestruck by the 30,000-40,000 Buckeye fans who traveled to support their team. Now, with Chris Fowler by his side, he’s back for another high-stakes clash between top-ranked rivals, this time featuring rising stars Julian Sayin and Arch Manning. It’s not just another game — it’s a full-circle moment for Herbstreit, as Texas seeks redemption on home soil after Ohio State won the last two meetings, including a playoff semifinal.
