Sarkisian Reads the Room Against Ohio State | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian isn’t sweating Ohio State’s shaky opener against Ball State—he sees it as preseason fluff.

With a new offensive coordinator in Arthur Smith—NFL pedigree, run-heavy schemes, and clever disguises—Sarkisian knows this will be a chess match, not checkers. Ohio State won’t abandon what’s worked before, but Smith’s system could twist it into something unpredictable. Sarkisian’s strategy? Stay ready to read, react, and adapt on Saturday against a team that’s still figuring out how to blend old habits with new wrinkles.
