No. 1 Texas plays No. 3 Ohio State at Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio Saturday afternoon to begin its season. The game, which will be featured on ESPN’s “College GameDay” and broadcast on Fox, is a seismic season-opening clash between two national title hopefuls that played each other just seven months ago with a trip to the championship on the line.

No. 1 Texas visits No. 3 Ohio State to open the 2025 season. The matchup will be among the biggest season openers ever, particularly with Arch Manning — the grandson of Archie and nephew of Eli and Peyton — under center for the Longhorns.

The streaming availability of Ohio State's game against Texas is in doubt on one primary streaming service as a deadline looms.

Smith had 76 receptions for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns last season, with all three marks Ohio State freshman records. Yet the Longhorns smothered him with cornerback Jahdae Barron, last season’s Thorpe Award winner, and safety Andrew Mukuba. Both of them are now in the NFL.
