Kris Drew Previews Ohio State vs Texas

from College Football with Sam · host Samuel Recker

Kris Drew of Dead Air Sports, Ohio State Football, and Texas Football are the focus of this episode as Kris joins me to preview one of the biggest non-conference games of the 2026 season and give our predictions for how it plays out.Ohio State and Texas have met only a handful of times, most memorably in 2006, when No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 2 Texas 24-7, and this rematch carries similar stakes for both programs after dominant Week 1 openers. Kris and I break down what Arthur Smith's offense should look like behind quarterback Julian Sayin and wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, and whether that translates against a tough Texas defense. We also get into Texas and quarterback Arch Manning facing off against Matt Patricia, whose defense held the Longhorns to 7 points last season, and the coaching matchup between Ryan Day and Steve Sarkisian.Kris and I don't always agree on these calls, and we get into it directly when we don't. We break down both rosters, identify the matchups we think will decide the game, and go through both coaching staffs heading into this one before giving our individual predictions for how it plays out.College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.
