AUSTIN, Texas – Saturday's marquee matchup between No. 1 Texas and No. 3 Ohio State (11 a.m., FOX) will feature several major storylines, as the two programs meet for the first time since last season's College Football Playoff semifinal.
The contest will mark the first career start for Buckeyes' sophomore quarterback Julian Sayin, who was 247Sports No. 3 overall quarterback prospect in the 2024 class – and was heavily recruited by Texas.
For the Longhorns, redshirt sophomore Arch Manning is officially the QB1 in Austin as the much-ballyhooed signal-caller will make the first road start of his career in front of over 103,000 fans.
