The Ohio State football program will take on Texas in the first game of the season. It's the second straight game that Texas will be playing against the Buckeyes after they lost to them in the Cotton Bowl. This year, Texas feels it can beat them based on how many players they have returning.
This matchup was already highly anticipated after what happened in the College Football Playoff. Things have changed in a good way for that matchup, as it has now become a historic matchup. After the Coaches Poll was released, this matchup became even more of a must-see matchup.
