Key Points:
- Texas suffered two early turnovers, including a bizarre fumble on a catch by Cam Coleman that was recovered by Ohio State's Jaylen McClain, giving Ohio State possession at Texas' 19-yard line.
- Ohio State took an early 3-0 lead after Texas' defense held them to a 26-yard field goal following a stalled red zone drive.
- Texas' offense started poorly with a fumble on the first play after a hit on Raleek Brown by Ohio State's Jay Timmons, who recovered the ball near Texas' 16-yard line.
- Texas has historically limited Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, a top NFL prospect, holding him to modest stats in previous matchups; sophomore Kade Phillips is expected to match up against him again.
- The game features two Heisman hopeful quarterbacks, Texas' Arch Manning and Ohio State's Julian Sayin, with the trenches battle between Texas' front seven and Ohio State's offensive line likely to be decisive.
