Ohio State riding high after Texas win
The Buckeyes (1-0) are coming into the match with momentum after defeating then-top-ranked Texas 14-7 in Week 1. New defensive coordinator Matt Patricia started his tenure with a bang, as his players frustrated Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning, as they held Manning to just one touchdown with an interception, according to another Buckeyes Wire report.
It added that starting quarterback Julian Sayin was 13-20 passing for 126 passing yards with a touchdown. Sayin connected often with star receiver Jeremiah Smith, who posted six catches for 43 yards.
