The classic rematch of Cotton Bowl 2025 had the same result.
Ohio State No. 3 managed Arch Manning and defeated Texas Longhorns better classified with a 14-7 victory in Columbus on Saturday.
The Buckeyes defeated the Longhorns, then led by Will Howard and Quinn Eweers, respectively, to go to the national championship last season, which they finally won.

But Texas arrived at the Ohio stadium as team number 1 in the nation, and did not look a little.
It took a long time for both offenses to start, since the teams changed the ball in the casualties in their opening units. The rising superstar Jeremiah Smith had two drops for OSU on his next trip, but the Buckeyes could find the score zone with approximately nine minutes in the first half with a touchdown rushed in room and goal. The Lonhorns hit each of their last four units of the first half.
After the Buckeyes were three and outside to open the second half, the offensive of the Longhorns was moving. But again they were arrested in the fourth attempt, this time right in the goal line, since Manning tried to press for six.
Ohio State again had to clear after only three plays, but Manning returned the favor with an interception that was returned to the 32 of the Buckeyes. Osu entered the midfield, and in second and 7 from the 40s of Texas, Field Marshal Julian Sayin found Carnell Tate for the score to turn it into 14-0 buckers led with 13:08 to go in the game.

Texas crossed the center of the field in an effort to start a return, and Manning was rescued when what seemed an intercepted declared an incomplete pass after the review. They entered the red zone, but a 4th and 3 pass to the final area fell to the grass. It was the third consecutive quarter that did not become after obtaining his first in the afternoon.
In the despair mode, the Longhorns marched again, and Manning finally found the final area, hitting Parker Livingstone for a 32 -yard score with 3:28.
Texas forced another three and leaving and recovered the ball in its own 15 with 2:26 to travel. In his second play, Manning launched a perfect 30 -yard pass, but they could not get another first Down.
Manning was 17 of 30 for 170 air yards, but 132 of them arrived only in the last quarter. It was the first beginning of Manning of his career, and it was certainly a difficult task against what could be the best defense of the country.
In his first game as a starter, Sayin was 13 of 20 for 126 yards.
Perhaps the most difficult test for Buckeyes is in the books, and they will have a couple of settings against Grambling State and Ohio University for the next two Saturdays.

Texas is likely to return to their usual winning forms, they also receive San José State, UTEP and Sam Houston State the next three weeks.
But for both squads, it is this Saturday that it will be in their minds for perhaps the rest of the season, and the playoffs.
