WATCH: Fox Sports Drops Electrifying Teaser – Can Texas Shock Ohio State in Week 1?

It’s college football’s most anticipated kickoff weekend showdown.

Beyond the quarterbacks, Texas saw 11 additional players selected in the NFL Draft.
Ohio State saw 13 additional players hear their name called.
Week 1 is shaping up to be an absolute thriller as the Texas Longhorns gear up to hit the road and face off against the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus. If you’ve been following college football even casually, you know this isn’t just any season opener — it’s the blockbuster event everyone’s been buzzing about all offseason. Ohio State, the reigning kings of the College Football Playoff, took Texas down last year in the semis before cruising past Notre Dame for the crown. But here’s the twist: both squads are rolling with fresh faces under center. Arch Manning steps in for the Longhorns after Quinn Ewers moved on to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, while the Buckeyes are still sorting out their quarterback situation between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz following Will Howard’s departure to Pittsburgh. And it’s not just QBs—both programs lost an army of talent to the pros, with Texas sending 11 players and Ohio State 13 to the NFL. So, buckle up because this rematch promises to be every bit as electrifying as the hype. LEARN MORE

However, both Texas and Ohio State will meet this year with new starting quarterbacks. For Texas, redshirt sophomore Arch Manning replaced former three-year starter Quinn Ewers, who was selected in the seventh round of last spring NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. For Ohio State… well, we’re not quite sure yet, as frontrunners redshirt sophomore Julian Sayin and junior Lincoln Kienholz compete to replace Will Howard, a former Kansas State starter before he joined OSU last year, and who went to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round.
Ohio State, the reigning College Football Playoff National Champions, knocked Texas out of the bracket in the semifinals last season before the Buckeyes beat Notre Dame to win it all.
