Ohio State vs Texas Rematch | El Paso News

About this episode

Ohio State and Texas collide in a historic showdown—this isn’t just any game, it’s a rematch with playoff stakes, personal history, and national hype. Defensive lineman Hero Kanu, who played for both teams, recalls the emotional weight of last year’s loss that cost Texas a playoff spot, and how Ohio State’s dominance in recent meetings has set the tone. With the top-ranked Buckeyes heading to Austin for the first time since 2022, and only five meetings in over a century, this is college football’s must-watch clash. Coach Sarkisian keeps it simple: compete against the No. 1 team, focus on the next ten games, and leave the playoff talk for later. No talking between rivals this week—just pure football, and maybe a few post-game chats.

Alright, let's talk about this Saturday's showdown between Ohio State and Texas. This isn't just any game, it's a rematch with some serious history. Defensive Lyman Hero Kano knows it well, having played for both sides. He was on the Ohio State team that beat Texas in the college football playoffs in my final back in 2024. And then he was a longhorn, win. Ohio State took them down again to start the 2025 season. At last last year really stung for Texas, ultimately costing them a playoff spot despite a strong finish. This Saturday, the number two. One ranked buck-eyes are heading to Austin to face number five Texas, and it's the first time the top ranked team has visited Austin since 2022. Kano says he's not making it personal, but he acknowledges the massive significance of this match up for college football. It's wild to think that with over a century of football history between these two programs, they've only played each other five times before this. Saturday, Kano described it as, the game everyone in the country is looking forward to, a real

playoff level contest. He admitted that Ohio State has handled the big moments better in their recent meetings. Remember last year's game, Texas was driving for a tie, but a second fumble recovery by Ohio State sealed the deal. Kano mentioned he still has friends on the buck-eyes, but there's no talking this week. They'll save the chats for after the whistle blows. Coach Steve Sarkishan isn't focusing on playoff implications for this single game. He sees it as an opportunity to compete against the number C. One team, especially after those two intense battles. He's emphasizing the remaining 10 games on the schedule to determine their ultimate season destination. I'm Koi with the story, Desherel Paso news today of day, AI powered and always on.
