Texas Roots, Buckeye Pride | Texas Longhorns Football News

Ohio State heads to Texas for a high-stakes showdown against No. 5 Texas, but for several Buckeyes, it’s more than just a game—it’s a homecoming. Players like Brock Boyd, Devin Sanchez, Riley Pettijohn, and Legend Bey grew up in the Lone Star State and now return to play in front of their hometown fans. With a 7:30 PM ET kickoff, this marks Ohio State’s first true road test of the season, and Coach Ryan Day knows these players need to bring extra fire. The rivalry is razor-close—four of five meetings decided by one score—and Austin’s electric crowd of over 100,000 will make it feel even bigger. Expect a tweaked game plan and a battle where homegrown talent could be the difference-maker. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
