Ohio State vs. Texas live updates: No. 1 Buckeyes battle No. 4 Longhorns in primetime showdown CBS Sports Ohio State vs. Texas live updates: Prediction, odds and latest from Week 2 college football game The New York Time...
Ohio State and Texas meet for the third consecutive season, and what happens Saturday will once again carry heavy implications for the postseason.
The No. 4 Longhorns seek their first win in this three-game stretch against the No. 1 Buckeyes, who won the season opener in 2025 in Columbus 14-7. Texas out-gained Ohio State, but the Longhorns struggled to score until Arch Manning pulled them into the game late in the fourth quarter. Will a full year as the starting quarterback, along with the addition of superstar skill players Cam Coleman and Hollywood Smothers, provide Manning the edge he needs Saturday night inside Darrell K Royal Stadium?
The Buckeyes replaced eight starters from its No. 1 defense a year ago, but the new faces picked up where their predecessors left off by holding Ball State to only 165 yards and three points last week. The offense remains explosive, led by Heisman Trophy hopefuls Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith. The Buckeyes scored 56 points in the season opener last week.
The game also offers a rare sight: Ohio State visiting an SEC stadium. The Buckeyes have only played an SEC team on the road once - a 13-13 tie against LSU in 1987.
Buckle up for the game of the week - and maybe the season - in college football.

Julian Sayin hit Jeremiah Smith a few times and JaKobi Jackson finished it off with an 8-yard touchdown run up the gut on third-and-4 to extend Ohio State's lead to 10-0.
The 10-play, 81-yard drive followed the wild interception by the Buckeyes when a would-be catch wobbled out of the hands of Cam Coleman and ricocheted into the air as he rolled toward the turf.
The Buckeyes have 92 yards compared to the Longhorns' nine yards (and two turnovers) ... on only five plays.
Cam Coleman got wide open across the middle, seemingly caught a pass over his shoulder, but he didn't seem to get control of the ball as he hit the ground. The impact forced the ball out of his hands, jettisoning it into the air and into the hands of Ohio State's Jaylen McClain.
It's about as freaky a play you'll see today, and suddenly, Ohio State has the ball again at its own 19-yard line following Texas' second turnover in five plays.
Texas' defense stood tall inside the 20, holding Ohio State to a 26-yard field goal off the foot of Dalton Riggs. The Buckeyes had six plays to get into the end zone but stalled.
There are no moral victories, but that could have been a lot worse after the game-opening fumble. It'll be interesting to see what Texas runs on offense after the upcoming kickoff. Is the script already thrown out the window?
Texas' first play is a quick screen to Raleek Brown, who is belted by Ohio State's Jay Timmons. The hit led to a fumble and Timmons recovered the ball at Texas' 16-yard line.
The worst start you could imagine for the Longhorns at home.
