No. 4 Texas vs. No. 1 Ohio State live updates: Buckeyes extend margin to 23-3 with long FG

Top-ranked Ohio State established a commanding 23-3 advantage over fourth-ranked Texas at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday, September 12, 2026. The visiting Buckeyes capitalized on opening-half miscues by head coach Steve Sarkisian's squad to seize a 20-3 advantage by the intermission before stretching the cushion with a deep field goal.

Texas, led by starting quarterback Arch Manning, entered the Week 2 contest aiming to reverse a two-game skid against Columbus.

The meeting marked the third clash between the programs since January 2025, with the Buckeyes aiming for a third straight victory over the Longhorns. Entering the showdown, Austin held a 2-3 all-time mark in the head-to-head series, having last defeated Ohio State back in the 2009 Fiesta Bowl.
