Texas vs Ohio State

Texas vs Ohio State
Date

Saturday is a full college football slate at the Arc Light, and the nightcap is the one everyone will be talking about: No. 5 Texas hosts No. 1 Ohio State in Austin in a revenge rematch.

Ohio State beat the Longhorns 14-7 in Columbus last season and held Texas scoreless through three quarters. Texas has not beaten the Buckeyes since the 2008 Fiesta Bowl. This time the game is on the Forty Acres, Texas is a 1.5-point favorite, and ESPN’s College GameDay will be on campus in the morning.

Arch Manning and the Horns opened 2026 with a 59-7 win over Texas State. Ohio State rolled Ball State 56-3. Kickoff is 6:30 p.m.
