Texas overcomes halftime deficit to beat Ohio State in Austin

No. 4 Texas rallied from a 20-3 halftime deficit to defeat No. 1 Ohio State 24-23 on September 12 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Ohio State commanded the first half with aggressive play-calling and defensive pressure, but the team's production stalled after the break. Texas quarterback Arch Manning helped the Longhorns settle into the game as the Buckeyes struggled with red-zone efficiency, managing only 13 points on four trips inside the 20-yard line. The visitors surrendered their lead late in the second half, with the outcome ultimately decided by a missed field goal attempt in the final stages. This result marks the first regular-season defeat for Ohio State against a non-Michigan opponent that head coach Ryan Day has faced during his tenure, excluding exhibition postseason games.
