Here's what to know and how to tune in to the Week 1 NCAAF game between between Ohio State and Texas.
The Arch Manning era in Texas is about to begin. The 21-year-old quarterback will take the field this weekend as the Texas Longhorns' starting quarterback when their 2025 season begins against the Ohio State Buckeyes. The two teams faced each other most recently at the Cotton Bowl where Ohio State defeated Texas 28-14 and went on to defeat Notre Dame, winning this year's championship title. We'll find out whether or not the Ohio State reign continues when the season kicks off Saturday at noon as part of Fox's Big Noon Saturday broadcast.
