Texas makes unfortunate history against Ohio State on Saturday
Texas made some bad history in the first quarter of Saturday's game against Ohio State.
On Saturday, Texas football suffered an unfortunate loss against Ohio State. The Longhorns' opening drive concluded with a fumble, giving the Buckeyes an early 3-0 lead. Despite regaining possession, Texas soon faced another setback as the ball was intercepted, marking a disheartening start to the game.
This marks the third time in the past two decades that Texas has turned the ball over on their first two drives within the first five minutes of the first quarter. The losses to Ohio State added to this unfortunate trend.
Following the interception, Ohio State unleashed a long touchdown drive, culminating in a score. Running back Ja'Kobi Jackson sealed the deal with an eight-yard run into the end zone, extending Ohio State's lead to 10-0.
The Longhorns' subsequent possession did not fare well either. Quarterback Arch Manning lingered too long on third down, resulting in a punt back to the Buckeyes. However, the Buckeyes' momentum was short-lived when the Longhorns managed to stop them on fourth and short deep in Longhorns territory.
As the game progressed, viewers could catch all the action on ABC, where Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit provided commentary.
