Texas vs Ohio State Playoff Preview | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

College football’s biggest showdown this Saturday in Austin: No. 4 Texas hosts No. 1 Ohio State in a high-stakes, playoff-impacting clash. Both teams dominated last week—Texas crushed Texas State 59-7, Ohio State obliterated Ball State 56-3. This is the second straight year these titans meet in a non-conference game, with Texas seeking revenge after last year’s 14-7 loss in Columbus. Head coach Steve Sarkisian faces Ryan Day for the third time in under two years, while young QBs Arch Manning and Julian Sayin battle for early-career glory. Game kicks off at 6:30 PM CT at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, broadcast on ABC with Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit calling the action. Prediction? A nail-biter: Texas edges it 31-27, fueled by Manning’s play, Kwiatkowski’s defense, and the home-field heat advantage.
