This sequence marked the second turnover for Texas in as many possessions, following an earlier fumble by running back Raleek Brown. The game features a meeting between two top-five teams in the national rankings. This contest marks the third head-to-head meeting between the two schools in three seasons, with Ohio State emerging victorious in both previous encounters.
