Texas defeats Ohio State 24-23 after second half comeback in Austin

Texas rallied from a 20-3 halftime deficit to defeat Ohio State 24-23 on Saturday night in Austin. The Buckeyes dominated the first half, forcing two turnovers and scoring a late touchdown to build their lead. Following the break, Ohio State managed only three points while the Longhorns offense generated 21 unanswered points. Texas quarterback Arch Manning spearheaded the second-half push, finding open receivers and exploiting a defensive scheme that yielded little pressure. A 45-yard field goal attempt by Connor Hawkins to extend the Ohio State lead late in the game missed wide left, providing Texas the field position for the winning drive. The Longhorns completed a 12-play, 73-yard scoring march to secure the win with under a minute remaining. Ohio State moves on to host Kent State next Saturday.
