The hype may be about two top-five teams meeting, led by two new starting quarterbacks. But the Texas Longhorns need to stick to basics to beat the Ohio State Buckeyes today.
Read on for my Texas vs. Ohio State predictions and college football picks for Saturday, August 30.
Our best Texas vs Ohio State SGP for Week 1
I am not Steve Sarkisian. I have no want to be. My life is stressful enough.
But if I were the Texas Longhorns' head coach, my message to Arch Manning is to trust this Longhorns defense against a first-time starting quarterback in Julian Sayin with a first-time offensive coordinator in Brian Hartline. Tuck and run whenever in doubt. Trust the skill position players around you.
Do not put the Longhorns' defense in a compromised position, and it should, on its own, win this game.
Those might not be inspiring words to Arch in the pregame, but that does not mean they would not be winning words.
