Texas Beat Ohio State — But Don’t Buy the Longhorns Hype Yet

by | Sep 13, 2026 | Dallas, Texas Longhorns Daily Blitz | 0 comments

Texas beat No. 1 Ohio State 24-23, but the Longhorns’ dramatic comeback shouldn’t erase three quarters of ugly football. Arch Manning and Texas survived, but the offense struggled, turnovers piled up and Jeremiah Smith exposed major problems in the secondary.

On this edition of the Longhorn Daily Blitz, IndyCarTim breaks down why Texas fans should celebrate the win without ignoring the warning signs. The Longhorns trailed 23-3 entering the fourth quarter, averaged just 4.3 yards per play and needed a furious late rally to escape in Austin.

We break down Arch Manning’s 195-yard performance, Texas’ inconsistent running game, four fumbles, two turnovers, Jeremiah Smith’s 164 receiving yards and why these flaws could become much bigger problems once SEC play heats up.

Texas is 2-0. But does this team really look like a national championship favorite yet?
