Any college football matchup between Ohio State and Texas immediately becomes one of the games of the year. That is especially true for the season-opening game between the Buckeyes and Longhorns on Aug. 30.
The two teams are fresh off of a College Football Playoff semifinal matchup, a 28–14 Ohio State win, which led to their national championship victory over Notre Dame. The Buckeyes will embark on their national title defense, while Arch Manning is set to start at quarterback for Texas, making his debut as the program's full-time QB1.
