Ohio State Form
Ohio State head out on the road looking to extend a 13-game regular season win streak that dates back to the start of last season.
The Buckeyes ultimately came up short in the Big Ten Championship and the College Football Playoffs, but they were a dominant force as they won all 13 games prior to that.
That streak included a season-opening victory against a Texas team that was ranked number one going into that matchup.
Ohio State made a winning start to the 2026 season too, albeit against much weaker opposition than the Longhorns.
Julian Sayin went 21/25 for 320 yards and three touchdowns, while Jeremiah Smith racked up 151 receiving yards and two TDs as they Buckeyes blew out Ball State, 56-3, last weekend.
Texas Form
Texas underwhelmed during the 2025 season, missing out on the playoffs, but they were able to continue their rock-solid home form.
The Longhorns did not drop a single game at DKR, but costly defeats at Ohio State, Florida and Georgia ended any hopes they had of making the College Football Playoffs.
Instead they settled for a Bowl Game against Michigan, which they won 41-27.
Texas came into the new campaign looking to rebound and challenge for both conference and national honors, and they made a winning start at the expense of overmatched Texas State.
Arch Manning threw for 305 yards, four touchdowns and one interception, while Ryan Wingo put up 121 yards and one TD off seven receptions in a 59-7 victory.
