Texas Stuns No 1 Ohio State | Austin News

Texas pulled off a jaw-dropping 24-23 comeback against No. 1 Ohio State, erasing a 20-point deficit in the fourth quarter thanks to Arch Manning’s clutch play and Hollywood Smothers’ game-winning one-yard touchdown with 25 seconds left. After dominating for most of the game, Ohio State’s offense stalled in the final minutes, missing a crucial field goal and failing to close it out. The win marks a major milestone for Manning, who rose to the occasion under pressure, and a huge statement for Steve Sarkisian’s program. Ohio State’s offense, led by Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith, couldn’t sustain momentum in the second half. Both teams face lesser opponents next week, but for now, the nation is buzzing over one of the most dramatic upsets of the season.
