Ohio State’s Early Edge Against Texas | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Ohio State obliterated Ball State 56-3 in their season opener, giving the team a quick 15-minute celebration before Coach Ryan Day already eyes the next big one: a top-five showdown with Texas. Last year, Texas arrived in Columbus with no tune-up, and Ohio State’s defense shut them down. This time, the Buckeyes got that crucial Week One game to iron out offensive kinks and fine-tune their defense — especially with their running game. Star receiver Jeremiah Smith exploded for 151 yards and two TDs, while QB Julian Sayin got vital reps. Texas also looked sharp, beating Texas State 59-7, with Arch Manning throwing for 300+ yards and four TDs. Both teams are elite, and Texas is hungry for revenge — but Ohio State holds a key advantage: they’ve already dialed in their game plan. Coach Day knows this edge is everything, and he’s not wasting a second. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
