The Texas Longhorns head to Austin facing a top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in a highly anticipated clash, seeking revenge for last year's 14-7 loss. Arch Manning, the star quarterback, struggled mightily in the opener, going 9-for-15 for 38 yards and an interception. Ohio State's defense has been a thorn in Texas' side in their past five meetings, resulting in under bets cashing in every time. Expect another low-scoring game as both teams' star quarterbacks face tough tests.
Meanwhile, Georgia Tech heads to Atlanta to take on Tennessee in a game that could shape the national championship race. Last year's opener ended with a blocked potential game-winning field goal for the Yellow Jackets, but they've covered in four straight games as a home underdog. Tennessee's defense, however, may not be as dominant as its 56-9 win over an FCS opponent in their previous matchup.
With freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon having a spectacular debut, expect an exciting game between two teams looking to make their mark.
