Ohio State's Julian Sayin provided a candid assessment of his team's devastating loss to Texas on Saturday night. The Buckeyes fell 24-23 to the Longhorns after leading 23-3 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Sayin admitted that the team "didn’t execute the way we can, the way we need to in the fourth quarter," attributing the failure to himself.
The Ohio State quarterback expressed that he would be reflecting on the loss for some time, analyzing the plays and considering what could have been done differently, such as making better decisions and passing effectively. Ohio State's lead in the final quarter was cut in half by Texas quarterback Arch Manning's scrambling and extended drives, as well as the team's inability to connect with star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith in the fourth quarter.
This loss marked a significant setback for the Ohio State football team, which is aiming for a spot in the College Football Playoff for the third consecutive season. The Buckeyes' current season record stands at 1-1. Texas's comeback marked the first time since 2004 that a top-ranked team had lost a 20-point fourth-quarter lead, and it was the biggest comeback of Steve Sarkisian's coaching career.
