Is this the ONLY time I will cheer for the Buckeyes? Yep, and GO Big-10!

Let's discuss that game in this thread...

I am really curious to see how good the Ohio State trenches are this year, after the major reloading from last year.

This match up reminds me of how I feel when SUC or fuskies are in a bowl game. I’m not actually rooting for them to win I just don’t want them to blow it for the conference.

The transfer from Rice, who was paid $1.5 million to start at RT for TOSU, was beaten out by a guy who started 3 games for Minnesota in 2024. 🤑

It's a B1G ask for Buckeyes QB Julian Sayin today. Rookie QBs opening against No. 1-ranked opponents are 0-18.😒

Week 2, 1984, some guy named Jim Harbaugh was in his first season starting at QB for Michigan and led the Wolverines to a 22-14 win over No. 1 Miami in Ann Arbor. Harbaugh's Week 2 victory is the benchmark for the earliest in the season CFB win by a rookie QB over a No. 1-ranked team.

Ohio State fans will tell you that it wasn't skill; Harbaugh lucked out. 🤬

We'll see if these young QBs will get the chance to play more aggressively in the second half.

A rookie QB is looking pretty good, and itʻs not the surrealistically overhyped one. Just Sayinʻ.

End of the first half, tOSU 7 - Texas 0... Ohio St has 102 yard - Texas 79.

-JUGGERNUTS!

Honestly...just a boring game in general, I'm not really surprised, both defenses are obviously very good, but the offensives just seem uninspired and flat. Probably what should be expected considering the QB situation for both teams.

Is Texas ever not overrated?

As usual, tosu’s trenches look bigger and stronger than everyone else.

My condolences to those of you who bet on Arch winning the Heisman.

A wise man I know, once said, "At the end of a game first downs are more important than touchdowns." Or something like that. Thanks Mr. FishDuck!

Yay BIG over the SEC!

Oh boy.... Pawlll is going to be upset on Monday. He said Texas was going to roll.

Is Arch overrated or is the Ohio State defense that good?

Manning was throwing bullet passes into receivers’ knees from short range. He displayed zero skill at touch passing.

Auto correct changed bullet to bulletin.

Precisely right, and Ohio State almost blew it being to conservative, IMHO on their second to last drive. You gotta work as hard to finish the game as the other team is...

Hats off to THE Ohio State University and to QB Julian Sayin. First-time starting quarterbacks are now 1-19 in their opening game starts against the No. 1-ranked team. And Sayin outplayed Heisman favorite and Golden Child Arch Manning. Texas, as my betting buddies and I thought, was going to miss 2024's excellent corps of WRs. But Texas will win a lot of games this season.

How about new TOSU DC Matt Patricia's first game? Jim Who? And Day and new OC Brian Hartline made certain to keep it simple for Sayin.

Great for conference bagging rights, and Pawalll should start packing his bags to leave the USA.

Do you come from a Land Down Under? 1st half Under and Final score Under bets were a nice way to start the season B1G!

Go Michigan! Beat Oklahoma!

Maybe he meant 'Rolled?' I think both Ds are that good.

They use that word a'lot in Bama land. I don't think they even know what their name means. In what world is an Elephant called Crimson Tide? "Roll Tide!!!"

Texas out gained Ohio State by a hundred yards. The difference in the game was Texas failed to score on two RedZone trips. I would've liked to see how Sayin would've fared if he needed to throw more down field. Ryan Day used the same playbook that cost him the game vs Michigan last year, except this time Ohio State didn't turn the ball over.

I have Finebaum's Monday program scheduled to record.😁
