Ohio State prepares for high heat before upcoming Texas road game

Ohio State players are adjusting their training regimens to prepare for extreme temperatures ahead of a September 12 matchup against Texas in Austin. Forecasts indicate a high near 100 degrees at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium for the 7:30 p.m. kickoff. Coach Ryan Day noted that the team is practicing in warmer conditions in Columbus to simulate the environment. Texas previously hosted a game on September 5 where temperatures reached 102 degrees, leading to 13 medical transports for fans in attendance. To mitigate risks, stadium officials have implemented hydration and cooling stations throughout the venue.
