It is difficult to dream up a Week 1 college football matchup with more hype than the one we'll get in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, Aug. 30. No. 3 Ohio State, the reigning national champion, takes on No. 1 Texas in a rematch of last season's College Football Playoff semifinal game. And of course, the game will mark the debut of Arch Manning as the Longhorns' full-time starting quarterback. Short of pushing back the contentious noon kickoff, it would be hard for a game to have more hype.
Manning impressed in relief of Quinn Ewers last season, throwing for 939 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding a rushing element to the Texas offense to the tune of 108 yards and four scores.
