Ohio State prepares for matchup against Texas with offensive adjustments
Summary

Top-ranked Ohio State travels to face fourth-ranked Texas this Saturday following opening victories for both programs. The Buckeyes aim to improve offensive line cohesion after reporting lapses in their win over Ball State. Coach Ryan Day continues to evaluate the starting unit, which features players including Ian Moore, Luke Montgomery, Carson Hinzman, Austin Siereveld, and Phillip Daniels. On the perimeter, the team looks for secondary receivers to assist Jeremiah Smith as Texas focuses defensive coverage on the veteran wideout. Transfer Devin McCuin enters the contest following a 97-yard outing in his debut. Last season, Ohio State secured a 14-7 victory over Texas in Columbus in a game where both sides struggled to generate significant offensive yardage.
