Vince Young, Colt McCoy Drop Wild Predictions for Texas-Ohio State

Former Texas Longhorns stars Vince Young and Colt McCoy made stunning predictions for their team's clash with Ohio State.

Ahead of the highly anticipated matchup between No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes and No. 4 Texas Longhorns on Saturday night, former Longhorns stars Vince Young and Colt McCoy offered surprising predictions. Young believes Texas will win by 17 points, while McCoy predicts the margin will be closer to 10. Both players highlighted concerns over the Longhorns' defense and running backs, yet emphasized their team's talent and home-field advantage.

Meanwhile, Mack Brown, the former Longhorns head coach, predicted a closely contested game with Texas emerging victorious. The matchup spotlights star players Arch Manning for Texas and Jeremiah Smith for Ohio State, both considered top five NFL Draft picks. The teams last met earlier this year, with Ohio State prevailing 14-7. Manning completed 17 of 30 passes for 170 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

Ohio State's Julian Sayin was less effective, going 13 for 20 for 126 yards and a touchdown. Heading into Saturday night, Manning and the Longhorns are favored to win by 1.5 points, potentially propelling Texas to the No. 1 spot in the polls.
