Gianni Spetic kicks winning extra point as Texas defeats Ohio State

Gianni Spetic converted a decisive extra point with 25 seconds remaining to lead No. 4 Texas to a 24-23 victory over No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday night at Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin. The score followed a touchdown run by Hollywood Smothers that capped a 21-0 fourth-quarter surge for the Longhorns. This result marks the first time since 2008 that Texas has defeated the top-ranked team in the Associated Press poll. Spetic, a senior transfer from Memphis who grew up as an Ohio State fan, split the uprights on a 20-yard attempt to secure the win. Arch Manning guided the offense during the comeback, while the Texas defense held the Buckeyes scoreless in the final quarter. The win moves Texas to a 1-0 record against the top-ranked team in recent seasons.
