Paul C.: Ewers is always the X-factor in every Texas game, regardless of the opponent. He can be terrible or he can hum, seemingly at random.

Matthew C.: Texas has proven they can win close games. Ohio State has choked badly in their two close ones. If Texas can keep it close look for Ohio State to seize up like they did in the game at Oregon and against Michigan.

Lucas M.: UT will come out swinging on offense and should hold up better on defense. Id argue they might be favored here and recency bias has them 6 point dogs in what could be almost a home game. OSU may be the ones trying to keep it close early.

Matt M.: As much flash and spotlight will be on Ohio State’s offense, I am looking forward to watching the trenches in this one. Ohio State’s front seven is tough (if your name isn’t Kalel Mullings) and Texas has NFL talent up front. Fun battle to keep an eye on.
