No. 4 Texas vs. No. 1 Ohio State live updates: Horns hold as Buckeyes miss FG

Top-ranked Ohio State traveled to Austin on September 12, 2026, for a marquee Week 2 showdown against fourth-ranked Texas at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The Buckeyes entered the evening having captured the previous two encounters against Steve Sarkisian's squad since January 2025, carrying an overall 3-2 historical series advantage.

The Longhorns aimed to secure their first triumph over their non-conference foe since the 2009 Fiesta Bowl after controversial circumstances kept them out of the previous postseason.

Texas managed to protect its home turf when Ohio State misfired on a field goal attempt during the contest. The result provided starting quarterback Arch Manning his initial victory over the Buckeyes, halting the opponent's bid for a three-game winning streak in the head-to-head series.
