Texas visits Ohio State in an almost-unheard-of matchup between the preseason No. 1 team and the previous year’s defending national champion. The game can be seen Saturday at 11 Central on Fox. Jay Greeson, Chris Lee and Chase Robinson preview the game, with topics including:

Ohio State has announced Julian Sayin as its starting quarterback. He’ll be throwing to perhaps the country’s best player in wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.

Texas, of course, will give Arch Manning the long-awaited reins to coach Steve Sarkisian’s offense.

The Longhorns were inconsistent running the ball in 2024, but get back their post talented running back in CJ Baxter, who missed all of 2024 with injury.

Texas replaces most of its offensive line and lost a potential starter in fall camp.

Ohio State’s got safety Caleb Downs anchoring a loaded defense.

How much will the Buckeyes trust Sayin to throw against a front seven that features four All-American candidates in defensive lineman Colin Simmons, linebacker Anthony Hill, safety Michael Taafe and cornerback Malik Muhammad.

FanDuel has Ohio State as a 2 1/2-point favorite with a 47.5-point over-under as of Monday.
