The 2025 season kicks off with a heavyweight battle in The Horseshoe as Ohio State hosts Texas in one of the most anticipated openers in college football. On today's episode, we dive into what makes this Longhorns team so dangerous, from Arch Manning's rise to their elite offensive line and backfield depth.

Can the Buckeyes' revamped defensive line slow down a balanced Texas attack? Will Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin be ready for the bright lights in Week 1? And which matchups will decide whether Ryan Day's team opens the year with a statement win?

We break it all down using the latest from Phil Steele, plus our own keys to the game in Columbus.
