After a scoreless first quarter, the game between the No.1 Texas Longhorns and the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes was a tale of two defenses... which is exactly what everyone expected.
However, as the Buckeyes marched the ball down the field during the second quarter, two veterans for the Horns defense committed fouls on sloppy plays that gifted Ohio State 25 yards. Just like that, OSU was within the 20-yard line and before anyone could blink, had found the end zone.
Two sloppy penalties by defensive end Colin Simmons and defensive back Malik Muhammad had led to Ohio State putting the first touchdown on the board.
