Ryan Day couldn't say enough positive things about Ohio State's defense.
Matt Patricia's unit carried the Buckeyes to a 14-7 win over No. 1 Texas on Saturday as Ohio State starts its title defense with a statement victory.
In his first meaningful start, Arch Manning was kept in check, as he completed 17 of 30 passes for 170 yards and one touchdown with one interception by Jermaine Mathews Jr.
On the flip side, Ohio State signal caller Julian Sayin managed the game effectively and completed 13 of 20 passes for 126 yards and one 40-yard touchdown pass that was caught by Carnell Tate.
