Texas Erases 20-Point Fourth-Quarter Deficit, Stuns No. 1 Ohio State
Hi and welcome to another edition of Right
on Rangers Live.
Coming at you in the fourth quarter, Texas
trying to make this ball game interesting.
You have got a really, really close game
on your hands if you score here.
Longhorns have made it look pretty ugly most
of this ball game, but they have an
opportunity here in the fourth quarter.
Handoff just stopped short of the one-yard
line.
Right now, 7.45 left on the clock
and you have a really big opportunity to
cut this to a one-score game.
Sark been making some ballsy calls here in
the fourth quarter.
Going for it, fourth down, own territory.
It has definitely been a good, a better
second half I should say for the Longhorns.
Still not great, but a better second half
for sure.
Here's the handoff.
Texas is going to make it a 23
-16 game, extra point.
Incoming here shortly.
If it's made, six-point ball game and
you have 8.26 left, plenty of time.
It's getting interesting in Austin.
It is sure getting interesting.
Let's see how this one plays off.
Defense, they have had a great second half.
You have seen them really shut down the
Ohio State offense for the most part.
They have what, three points here in the
second half, three points in the third quarter.
That is it.
Extra point is good.
It is 23-17.
Appreciate all y'all hanging out.
I did not think that this game would
be anywhere close in the fourth quarter.
I must admit to y'all, must admit
to you.
Was not anticipating a one-score game at
this point in time.
Appreciate all y'all hanging out here right
on Rangers.
We cover everything Texas sports, but we put
a big emphasis on the Longhorns during the
college football season.
We thank you for choosing Right on Rangers
for all of your Texas Longhorns content.
Drop a comment, drop a question.
By the way, I will be doing a
Rangers show a little bit later on.
It may be a live show.
It may just be a podcast show, but
we are going to dial it in and
focus on football for the remainder of this
game and into the post game.
Maybe mention the Rangers a little bit here
and there, but nevertheless, we'll get to as
much of what you guys have to say
as possible.
Appreciate all y'all hanging out.
A number of things, number of places we
could start here.
I think the first half, the first quarter
went about as bad as you thought it
could go.
I mean, there was very little to take
away positive.
You actually, I felt like maybe minus the
fourth down call, Sark really calling a pretty
decent game early on.
That fourth and short call was a bit
bewildering to me.
The University of Texas, man, like, come on,
why are we getting cute on fourth down?
But a lot of missed opportunities today, a
lot of poor execution.
This whole night, really up until this point,
it has shown how expensive mistakes against an
elite team, oil and water, man, you cannot
make as many mistakes as the Longhorns have
had and consistently expect to be in a
ball game against good teams like Ohio State.
You're defying that a little bit today and
credit to Texas for making a comeback.
You have a, what, two turnovers tonight?
Ohio State, they have done a pretty good
job taking care of the football, haven't they?
I mean, you have no interceptions, no fumbles.
Texas almost had a third with the Niblett
off the face mask on the punt.
Yeah, the Longhorns, three quarters without a touchdown.
They've come on strong here in the fourth,
scoring two, and it is a one-score
game.
Buckeyes have a tight six-point lead, seven
minutes and 15 seconds.
Game is still alive.
We're going to see if Texas can figure
out a way to pull off the miraculous,
man, going into the fourth quarter.
It was 23-3.
This would be a comeback for the ages.
Appreciate all you guys hanging out.
We've got a lot to say about this
one, but we'll check in with the comments.
Appreciate all you guys.
Hey, Darnell, it's all good, man.
I'll be on a little bit later to
talk Rangers.
It'll be pretty late night in all honesty,
so you might have to catch it on
the replay, but I will do a Ranger
show later on.
But during this one, during the college football
game of the week, man, had to make
sure we went live during.
Here's the kickoff, and it is going to
be, looks like, is it going to get
brought out here?
No, it is going to go over the
head, and we will see if Julian Sayin,
Jeremiah Smith, Bo Jackson and company can figure
out a way to put a drive together
to put this one to bed.
Clearly, we're hoping not so much.
Tex-Mex, I wish.
MetLife tomorrow would be phenomenal.
A little Sunday night football.
What a great time to be alive, man.
You got baseball, you got football firing up.
I freaking love it.
Smothers, look, Smothers to me, he's playing himself
into a starting role.
Raleek Brown, he's had actually a pretty decent
game running the football, if you're just looking
at the box score.
But man, he has had a rough one
otherwise.
And Jeremiah Smith, speaking of a rough one,
that is a rough down.
That is a very, very easy pitch and
catch.
Jeremiah Smith, a little behind him, little behind
him, but a player like Smith, yeah, you're
expecting him to be able to corral that
one.
Sayin, definitely not a sharp throw.
It'll be second and 10.
Fans really finally alive in this one.
It was quiet at different times.
It was a quiet atmosphere.
Sayin flushed out.
You like this?
He's going to go all the way across
the field wide open.
Tight end is wide open.
That is an unfortunate, unfortunate leak.
Sayin threw completely across his body, across the
field.
Longhorn secondary just cannot hang on enough.
Tight end gets Ohio State about a 30
-yard, 25-yard gain.
And the ball is just at about midfield
here.
Tex-Mex enjoy, man.
That is going to be a phenomenal experience
for you guys.
Happy for you guys.
I can only imagine, man, going into your
first game as a kid.
That is crazy awesome.
Julian Sayin going to step back here and
we are going to have an incomplete pass.
It was getting a little handsy.
Thought maybe, ah, now the flag comes in.
I wondered if they were going to throw
this on Texas.
Maybe they'll talk about it here for a
second, but it looks like we may get
a holding call, pass interference call.
And it looks like that is the play.
Things are coming undone a little bit here,
man.
You had Sayin flushed out.
He finds the wide open, man.
And now you've got Ohio State in plus
territory with an opportunity to put this game
to bed.
It is a six-point lead.
You figure they kick a field goal.
Not impossible, but it's going to make things
very tough on Texas to come back.
A little injury time here.
I do agree.
Comment from TikTok here.
Tex-Mex, sloppy, sloppy game with some unfortunate
bad luck.
I mean, the Coleman play, that's just bad
luck to me.
Coleman's got to secure that ball.
It's just bad luck in the sense that
the ball pops right up to the defender.
Raleek Brown, I know that the slot receiver
just didn't do a great job blocking on
that screen.
So I don't think that the Raleek Brown
fumble to begin the game is really all
his fault.
But I will say, you're stopping your feet
in the backfield like Raleek Brown did.
I understand he had someone kind of bearing
down on him.
But any time you're stopping your feet like
that in the backfield, it's not going to
go super great for you.
So I think Raleek Brown, he's done well
to make some good plays and recover a
little bit in this one.
But it's been a bit of a rough
one for him.
He had the third down play where he
ran out of instead of putting his shoulder
down.
That was right before halftime.
Not Raleek Brown's best moment.
Not his best moment.
First and 10 ball at about the 44
-yard line.
And we're going to get a first down
run here.
Ohio State starting to march.
Ball up to the 34 of Texas.
Field goal range would be a long field
goal, but field goal range.
Matt, what's good?
Yep.
Going to do my Rangers show a little
bit later on in the night.
It'll be a late night live, or I
may just do podcast format.
We'll see.
I'll probably hop on the live and maybe
see if there's any Rangers fans still hanging
out late on a Saturday night.
But we're going to bring it home with
the Longhorns game right now, take a little
break, and then I'm going to come back
and do my Rangers show.
I am glad the Rangers are winning a
ball game.
That is for sure.
Handoff up the middle again, and they're testing
out that defensive line.
This is when you win the game here.
You got some tired bodies up front.
Ohio State starting to impose their will.
Five minutes, 23 seconds left in this ball
game.
John, comment from TikTok.
Texas can't stop the run.
It has not been Texas' best day defensively
stopping the run.
They are 95 yards allowed.
It looks like they are probably going to
go over 100 here, barring some big-time
stops behind the line of scrimmage.
Here's another handoff.
Right on cue.
Right on cue.
Texas makes a big stop behind the line.
Love to see that.
Ohio State just trying to bleed clock here.
Longhorns have all three timeouts remaining.
Ohio State has two.
Not that Ohio State is going to be
trying to burn those.
Today, we also want to definitely make sure
we get into as many player breakdowns as
we can.
We're getting there.
A lot will be coming your way in
the postgame.
We're going to make sure we finish this
one out.
We're live watching.
Longhorns, Buckeyes, 429 left.
That looked some early movement.
They have been really generous to Ohio State.
They have been moving so early.
I've noticed probably three or four times Ohio
State, the left tackle moves real, real early.
They just are not calling it.
I know they're giving some benefit of the
doubt there.
That is generous a couple of different times.
Ohio State on to kick the field goal.
This would put the game not completely out
of reach, but if you're Texas, you're really
going to have to move the ball quickly
if you go down nine.
Can we get a wide left?
Yes, and it goes left, baby.
The Longhorns have a shot.
They have a chance.
Texas will take over.
They have amazing field position.
You need a touchdown.
You're down six.
Oh, wide left.
Thank you.
I love it when that happens every once
in a while.
You get a shank wide left.
Oh, that's beautiful.
It looks like it was a true kick,
not tipped, not blocked.
He just hooked it.
Oh, could they pull off the impossible here?
You're down 23-3 to the number one
team in the country.
They could pull off the impossible here.
I'm knocking on wood right now.
Arch in the backfield.
We get a run.
Nice, solid three-yard gain.
We'll take it.
We will take it.
Texas trying to kill a little clock here.
Manage that while obviously marching down the field
and taking the lead in this one.
That's the goal.
You don't want to leave Ohio State too
much time, especially with the nature of the
score.
You score a touchdown, the most you can
be up is two.
You're not going to go for two.
Most you're going to be up is one.
Arch rears back, fires.
He's got a receiver open over the middle.
Mosley, and the ball is near midfield.
Texas trying to overcome a 20-point deficit
going into the fourth quarter against the number
one team in the land.
Arch Manning getting close to 200 yards through
the air.
Quick pass here.
Mosley again.
Mosley skirts outside, puts his shoulder down.
I love that.
Love that from Mosley, baby.
Takes a hit, gets knocked out of bounds.
Good five, six-yard chunk gain there.
Bando, what's good?
Thanks for hanging out, man.
Let's see if we could have some more
great calls here by Sark on this offensive
drive, man.
Midfield, second and six, clock under three minutes.
Hand off again.
He misses a tackle, and we have Raleek
Brown shaking and baking for a first down,
and it is in Ohio State territory.
The fans have come to life, man.
You love to see it.
This stadium was so dead early on in
this game.
It was just a completely dead stadium, and
now it is rocking in Austin.
39-yard line of Ohio State.
Arch, little play action.
He gets rid of it.
Raleek Brown drops it, maybe for the best.
He was covered well.
That's one of those where Raleek should have
probably had that one, but it might be
better off dropping that pass.
You do not want at all to get
a two-yard, three-yard loss there.
You're probably okay with the second and ten.
Maybe Raleek slips a tackle and makes it
interesting there, but I'm okay with the drop.
The way it worked out, you'd rather have
clock stopped 2-19.
Otherwise, you're taking it just to about the
two-minute warning.
Arch and the shotgun empty set.
He has all day long.
What a great job by the O-line.
Arch can't find anybody.
He does find the tight end.
Almost a first down.
It's going to be third and one, going
up to the two-minute warning.
What a job by the O-line, man.
That is so impressive.
This O-line has shown out a little
bit today.
You feel like Arch has had so much
time back there.
He's been on the run a number of
different spots in this game, but by and
large, I feel like the O-line has
given him a lot of time to sit
back there and throw.
Two-minute warning.
Actually, what do we got here?
Injury timeout.
It's 2-05 left.
They say he stepped out of bounds.
What are we doing here?
Okay, there we go.
Two-minute warning now.
Longhorns have a third and one coming up.
Obviously, you're in four-down territory.
BeerBelly, what's good?
Staying off the game.
The comeback started when I turned it off.
You better lose the remote.
Throw it out the window right now, BeerBelly.
Throw it out.
Whatever you've been doing since the comeback started,
don't you dare mix it up.
Don't you dare mix it up.
Welcome, everybody, Longhorns.
If you're just joining us, they trailed 23
-3 coming into the fourth quarter.
Texas on the doorstep of completing the comeback.
Easier said than done on this Ohio State
defense.
All you need is one stand if you're
the Buckeyes, but Arch Manning, Sark, Raleek Brown
and company trying to make it interesting.
Speaking of interesting, Emmett Mosley, your leading wide
receiver for yards and receptions.
Not something I had on my bingo card.
Emmett Mosley leading the wide receiver core.
12 yards, a catch, long of 17.
They have been hitting Mosley on some of
the quick routes, and he has done well
with his legs after the catch.
Mosley, like the big transfer play last year,
right?
I mean, he was the guy that you
really thought was going to ball out, show
out.
The roll just never completely took over.
He definitely had some nice games here and
there, some nice catches last year, but you
really thought he would be taking a bit
of a backseat with Wingo and Coleman doing
their thing, but with the game being what
it is, you have had some underneath routes
open for Mosley, and he has taken full
advantage.
Right now, we are at the two-minute
warning.
Arch Manning on the day does have an
interception, 22 for 36, 177 yards.
Arch has been a little up and down
today.
He has been a little up and down
today, I will say.
It feels like in the beginning, he wasn't
getting the help.
You had the Coleman drop.
Yes, Arch overthrew it a little bit for
an NFL prospect like Coleman.
I feel like you got to catch that
football.
Could Arch have laid it out better, more
cleanly?
100%.
I don't think there's any denying that.
Should Coleman, an NFL prospect, a top NFL
prospect, catch that football?
Yes, absolutely.
But Arch has missed some wide open throws
today on pivotal downs as well.
I mean, you've had him a couple over
the middle that he has just overthrown.
It has not been perfect tonight for Arch.
It doesn't have to be, and it's not
really going to matter if you end up
completing the comeback here.
It is not really going to matter.
Let's go.
Come on.
What else we got?
We need the comment from YouTube.
We need Sark to not call a screen.
Sark and the screens, man.
I mean, look, they do go hand-in
-hand.
They absolutely go hand-in-hand.
Sark and the screens.
Let's go.
Whatever works.
I mean, Sark, I'll knock on wood for
him, but Sark is hot right now.
I mean, I know he was getting a
crap ton of hate during the game.
I mean, look, not necessarily from me.
Not from me.
I actually think Sark has been all right
in this game.
The execution has not been great by the
players.
I would definitely put this, if this comeback
does not come to fruition, I put it
on the players more than I put it
on Sark.
I mean, you've got guys fumbling the football.
You've got Arch missing throws.
You've got Coleman dropping passes.
You've got the defense working with the short
field.
I would 1,000% put it on
the players over I put it on Sark.
I just don't understand how you could make
Sark majority blame.
I mean, there have been guys that have
just not been executing out there tonight.
Sark hasn't been perfect tonight.
The fourth down call early on in the,
what, the game, the second half right before
it on the fourth down hated the call.
He hasn't been perfect tonight, but there has
been a ton of poor execution, a ton
of poor execution.
Why am I not at the game though?
Look, I would love to be at this
game.
I would absolutely love to be at this
game.
Don't get me wrong.
You know, we unfortunately are not quite full
time with Right on Rangers yet.
There will come a day.
I believe it.
We're not quite full time with right on
Rangers.
I do have a couple other things pulling
me in multiple directions.
I'd love to be at this game.
It was not an easy game to get
a ticket for cheap though, man.
I was looking at some of the prices
just for fun this morning and it was
not cheap to get into this game.
It was look, unless you, I guess, don't
care about where you sit, but I'm kind
of a fan of with football, unless you
are sitting in a really nice seat or
it's a really big game like this one.
Sometimes the experience can be better at home.
That being said, I'd love to be there
tonight.
This is a game where you're like, you're
good getting in.
Just get me in that game.
Get me in the environment.
Minute and a half left, second and seven.
Arch Manning at the 20 yard line.
Look, Ohio State, one timeout left.
That's important.
Hand off here.
And you've got a wide open receiver over
the middle.
Mosley again.
Mosley almost takes it to the house.
Oh, Mosley, the balls on the one and
a half yard line.
Emmett Mosley shining through in the biggest of
moments.
All the attention on Coleman, all the attention
on Wingo.
And we have got a prime opportunity here
to take the lead against Ohio State.
Tick, tick, tick goes the clock.
We are almost under a minute.
Longhorns on the doorstep.
I formation.
Here's the snap up the middle and it
is stopped.
I might actually work out for Texas.
That might actually work out.
They do gain yardage.
Now you've got to think Ryan day calls
the timeout.
You have to think day calls it.
And he does.
It looks like the clock, the clock has
stopped 51 seconds.
Maybe some confusion here.
That actually might work out for Texas that
you didn't score there.
That may work out.
You make Ohio State use the timeout.
I don't know what is going on with
the clock right now.
It makes no sense.
They've got to fix this.
Sark has got to be going crazy.
Clock is not running.
Don't really know what, what they are going
to do with this clock.
They got to sort something out here.
There should be way less time or you
got the timeout called right away.
Perhaps they'll sort this out.
Beer belly, I 100% will thank you
if we win this game.
All right.
Timeout here.
23 to 17.
Longhorns at about the half yard line of
Ohio State.
They have three downs to punch it in
from a half yard out.
Ohio State, if they get the ball back,
you would think roughly would have about 45,
46 seconds.
Mosley they're showing his play again.
Beautiful throw by arch, beautiful route by Mosley
and then an outstanding effort, man.
He was carrying defenders to the goal line.
This is an all timer.
If Texas could pull it off, I'm knocking
on wood.
Trust me.
This would be an all time game.
Manning clutch gene activated.
Oh, oh, look there.
I'm sure there was a lot of Manning
slander thrown out there tonight.
Clutch gene perhaps activated.
Let's wait.
Let's wait.
Shimmy.
I appreciate the comment there.
Another eye formation.
Arch gets the tight end in motion.
Here's the handoff up the middle and it's
close.
He might not have gotten it.
He may not have gotten it.
This is, this actually may work out again.
Ryan Day, I'm sure wants them to score.
I don't think if you're Ryan Day, I
don't know.
I guess you're putting faith in your defense,
but man, you're at a point right now
where you are now draining clock.
Having these Longhorns get stopped short.
Look, I shouldn't assume anything.
Ohio State, the defense is stout, very capable
of making a stand here.
Let's not take anything for granted.
It looked like he got it.
I mean, it looked like barely got it.
I'm a little surprised they're not reviewing this.
A little surprised that they're not actually reviewing
this right now.
Here we go.
The tip of the ball is about three
inches from the goal line.
And now we're going to get another timeout.
I think they may be reviewing it now.
Let's see.
That's going to be so hard to tell.
He got, it looked like he might've gotten
over.
Smothers, I think got over with that last
little push at the end.
It really did look like that last little
push.
He got it.
Let's see what the overhead shot can tell
us.
He definitely was stopped short, but then a
second effort, it looked like he was able
to push through.
Either way, it works out.
You're either scoring a touchdown to go ahead
or you are wasting some clock and you've
got two more downs to punch it in.
They may rule inconclusive here.
They really may.
Ah, yes.
Nate, what's good, man?
We will be doing our Rangers show a
little bit later on in the evening.
I'm going to finish up with Longhorns here,
take a break, and I'm going to hop
back on some late night Rangers baseball talk.
So if you're here for Rangers, we are
finishing out the Longhorns Ohio State game right
now.
We will definitely talk Rangers later on in
the evening.
Glad the Rangers got the win though.
Any day the Rangers win is a good
day, for real.
A fake handoff and Arch strolls in for
the lead.
They're saying he might've fumbled, huh?
How do you rule?
I don't understand how you rule fumble.
No clue how you get a fumble out
of that, man.
I didn't see anything.
Short of the goal line, it's okay.
I believe that that is going to work
out in Texas' favor.
You kill a little bit more clock and
now if you're Ohio State, you are riding
solely on the defense.
You have no control over the clock.
If you're Sark, I mean, you got three
timeouts.
Maybe at this point, see what you got.
See if you got the right look, but
if you're Sark, you got three timeouts.
Don't be shy.
Here it is.
He's the handoff and he's over.
He's in.
And the Longhorns take the lead with 25
seconds remaining.
The extra point, excuse me, on the way
will determine the lead.
It is tied.
Texas comes back from 23 to three down.
And they have an opportunity to complete the
comeback on this extra point.
Hook'em Horns, Sark, much, much maligned.
He had a lot of people breathing down
his neck, a lot of hate coming Sark's
way during the game today.
And he may just be responsible for one
of the best comebacks of all time in
Longhorns history.
Snap is on the way.
Kick is up.
It is good.
Texas has the lead.
It is 24-23.
There are 25 seconds remaining.
Still a decent amount of time.
You don't take anything for granted here.
Jeremiah Smith, an outstanding weapon.
Texas defense still has a job to do.
Would have loved to run more clock.
Mark, I'm with you on that.
I would have loved a little more clock
to run off.
Nevertheless, I think you'll take this.
You will take this.
You have a shot here.
Texas does the unthinkable in Austin against the
number one team in the country.
Hollywood Smothers goes soaring into the end zone.
His second touchdown of the day.
Oh my goodness, what a sequence.
Longhorns prepared to kick off here.
We'll see what the strategy is.
I would imagine they're going to do everything
they can to try and either bank this
one out of the back of the end
zone or drain some clock.
They go with the deep kick.
Ohio State will start.
I like the strategy there.
Make them go more yardage.
I know killing clock is definitely in play
there with a squib kick.
I don't mind the opportunity to just bang
it out of the back of the end
zone and make Ohio State start a little
bit further back.
Fans are on their feet.
It is rocking in Austin right now.
Texmax asked, are we number one if this
lead holds?
Oh, I don't even want to talk about
that yet, Texmax.
I don't.
But I'd imagine they are going to be
surely in the conversation.
Staying in the shotgun.
He's flushed.
He fires deep.
And there's a flag on the play.
There was a pretty big impact there going
up for the football.
Let's see what the flag is.
Incomplete pass is the ruling on the field.
Penalty on the offense holding.
And that is going to push back Ohio
State even further.
Ohio State commits a holding penalty and they
will go back 15 yards.
Is there a runoff as well?
Did they do the 10 second runoff also?
I thought you had 10 second runoff withholding
penalty.
Maybe I'm blurring NFL here because of the
incomplete pass.
Okay.
Because of the incomplete pass.
I believe if you have the clock running,
maybe that is the rule there.
I'm going to have to check my rule
book.
I'll check my rule book.
Either way, you're going to have first and
20, 17 ticks left.
Ball right now is at the Ohio State
15 yard line.
Sayin 16 for 32, 73.
They're showing it on the screen.
He has had some big chunk plays, especially
throwing to Jeremiah Smith.
Arch Manning, 23 for 37.
He has had some big throws today as
well.
Touchdown and an interception.
Oh, come on defense.
Tackle.
You just got to tackle in bounds.
I know that the clock stops on a
first down, but either way, empty backfield for
Sayin and the Buckeyes.
Good pressure.
Looks like they are going to make the
tackle and open field.
It's not even a first down.
That's going to be the ball game.
I don't know if they're going to get
a snap off in time.
Sayin is trying.
There's three seconds.
There's two.
They do get a snap off.
Final play of the game right here.
Sayin launches it.
It's deep and it's jumbled around with the
Longhorns.
They intercepted.
Game over.
Hook 'em Horns.
Texas does the unthinkable.
They knock off the number one Buckeyes.
23 to three.
Comeback complete.
Oh, it is mayhem on the field.
The Longhorns are going crazy.
Rightfully so.
The largest comeback wins since 2007 and against
the number one opponent.
I don't know if it gets any sweeter
than this.
The Buckeyes go down epic melt for Ryan
day in Ohio state.
They had the game in their grasp.
How on earth did this happen?
I am at a loss for words right
now.
Oh my goodness.
You have both big 10 teams going down
today.
First Oregon and now Ohio state arch Manning
getting ready for one of the best interviews
of his life.
Oh, Sark Sark is hype.
And he did.
I think he just pissed off an ESPN
reporter.
Once again, did y'all see that?
I roll from Holly.
Oh my goodness.
What a comeback we're here.
Here's arch Manning.
Can't even believe what I'm watching right now.
This never happens to us.
This never happens to us.
Oh my goodness.
I'm stunned.
Arch 196 through the air signature moment for
arch Manning with this comeback signature moment.
Hey, look, a lot is going to go
onto the offense and the Sark, the play
calling.
Can we show some love to the freaking
defense?
This defense had short fields all night long
and you had three points allowed in the
second half, three points allowed in the second
half.
Wow.
How do you like, how do you like
Will Muschamp?
Now, baby, we had a lot of people
questioning things in the first half.
How do you like Coach Muschamp now?
Three points allowed in the second half.
Hey, what do you know?
The defense plays better when they're not working
with a short field, every single possession, Texas
24, Ohio state 23, the Longhorns improved to
two and Oh, and look, now we can
talk about it.
Number one team in the country.
Perhaps we are working our way there as
we speak.
What just happened to Alyssa?
I totally agree.
What, what did we just watch?
Like I said, this never happens to us
in the big games.
I feel like we are always choking.
The first three quarters were very appropriate.
It's like, this is what always happens to
us for one quarter though.
We defy fate and the Longhorns knock off
the number one team in the country.
And just, just think about how much this
team left on the table.
This team left so much on the table.
You had receivers dropping big catches.
You had stupid fumbles on the first play
of the game.
Think about how much this team left on
the table.
It's insane.
Oh, I'm believing right now.
Y'all I'm, I'm trying to fight it,
but I'm believing I knew this team was
going to be good.
I didn't know if they were going to
pull this one off in Austin tonight.
I didn't, I'm not going to lie to
you.
I didn't think it was going to be
a blowout.
I didn't think that Texas was going to
go down 23 to three.
I thought it would be a tight game
throughout it.
What really wasn't the horse just hit the
gas in the fourth quarter, 21 points.
It was 23 to three.
I can't even believe it.
Sark man denying ESPN.
Wonder what really is going on.
He, I know that he refused the, the
halftime interview because they were taking too long
and they kind of tried to like blow
it over.
Start kind of blows them off at the
end of the game.
I wonder what's going on there, man.
A small subplot in the grand context of
this game.
Andy Hookham Hornets, baby.
Thanks for hanging out.
Shane.
I have to agree.
Comment from Tik TOK.
That is one of the greatest games since
Vince young was quarterback.
I have to agree.
It is hard for me to think about
a greater game.
Like, you know, my mind goes to the
Arizona state game with Quinn Ewers and golden
connecting on that final play in overtime.
But you know what, that game, it was
tough because you were supposed to win that
game and you allowed Arizona state back into
the ball game.
This game, you're playing the number one team
in the country.
You're down the entire game.
You're the comeback kids.
This was, I think on a different level
than even that game for sure.
Well, Hook 'em Horns, Hook 'em Horns.
Indeed.
College game day, the whole nation watching.
And this is what we get to see.
This is what the longhorns treat us to.
And how do you go and move on
to next week's ball game, man?
How do you, how do you take it
down a few notches for UTSA, man?
I look, you're not overlooking anybody, right?
You're not overlooking anyone, but you win this
big game and now you got to go
play UTSA next week.
They'll be ready.
They'll be ready.
But man, Austin is going to be rocking
tonight.
I wish I was there right now.
Austin is going to be lit tonight.
Get only imagine who just, just soaking it
in right now.
Y'all just like you are.
I'm sure a bunch of y'all have
the TV on still.
This is great to just all take in.
You're not going to get a lot of
games.
You're not going to see a lot of
wins like this in your lifetime.
Sark freaking hyped after the game is over.
Matthew McConaughey got to get him in there.
I love it.
I love it.
Drop a comment, drop a question.
Let me know what you thought about this
one.
Mick J.
Thank you, Mick J.
Mick J.
Thank you.
Let's go.
We, I think it's going to be tough
not to put Texas at number one.
You know, they might not do it.
The committee I think will, will determine that,
you know, these rankings that come out at
the beginning, you just never know, but what
a massive win.
Comments from YouTube here.
I'm totally with you, Mick J.
Oh, Texas, definitely number two.
If you're not number one, you got to
be number two.
These rankings are so subjective right now.
I mean, who, who cares?
Right.
I mean, if they're number, if they're not
number one, like let's not engineer some fake
outrage.
I think they should be.
You beat the number one team.
You were number four coming into the game.
I think you probably should be the number
one team.
Nobody else has played anybody, but I'm with,
I'm with Jeffrey here.
Jeffrey appreciate the comment.
The ranking doesn't matter right now, man.
You just want a huge football game.
You want a massive football game tonight.
And I just don't think you can at
all demean this, even though we're going to
look back, who knows what Ohio state is
going to do.
I think at this point, if you're a
Longhorns fan, you're probably hoping Ohio state wins
out from here.
I mean, you want this win to look
as good as possible, but let's, let's not
make any mistake about it.
Even if Ohio state goes on to lose
a couple more, it's a big win.
You got a lot of other teams playing
cupcakes right now.
You got a lot of other teams that
are not challenging themselves.
Like the Longhorns did signing up for this
series with the Buckeyes this home and away
this, I mean, look for all the outrage
last year, the Longhorns getting left out of
the playoff, you know, should we not have
scheduled?
Should we cancel Ohio state?
This is definitely the other side of the
coin.
Isn't it?
You win this game.
Now anything can happen any given Saturday, right?
But you win this game.
Now you solidify, you drop one game, you
drop two games.
There there's no way that you're getting left
out.
If you're the Longhorns haven't played and haven't
knocked off Ohio state, the number one team
in the country, Benjamin, you are welcome, sir.
Comment from Tik TOK congrats on the wind.
And thank you as a Michigan fan.
And thank you.
Thank you as a Texas fan.
Anybody else watch that Oklahoma loss earlier today?
It's a great day to be a Longhorns
fan, baby.
It's a great day to be a Longhorns
fan.
You got Michigan knocking off Oklahoma and Texas
returns the favor.
I love that.
I saw an epic meme earlier.
I think it was yesterday.
It was Dwight and Jim from the office
and Dwight.
It's the episode where he's like, do you
want to form?
Do you want to form an alliance?
And it was Michigan Dwight and Jim was
Texas.
I think it was, it was great.
And that's what totally happened today.
You had Michigan knocking off Oklahoma earlier on
this morning or early this afternoon, Texas pays
it forward and beats Ohio state.
A lot of happy Wolverine fans today.
Absolutely.
Andrew G I'm with you.
Some people, you know, call it luck, whatever,
man.
Yeah.
One of my coaches always told me luck
is labor using correct knowledge.
And it feels like that is what happened
tonight.
Texas labored in this one, especially in the
fourth quarter.
You had some correct knowledge being demonstrated by
Sark dialing up some beautiful play calls.
I don't know if I would call this
lucky.
I might call it a meltdown by Ohio
state.
You, you go up 23 to three heading
into the fourth quarter.
Not a lot of excuses for losing a
football game like that.
Look, some comparisons being made right now, 2005.
You remember Vince young went to the shoe,
did some work.
I don't want to go there quite yet.
I'm trying to stay in the here and
now, but it feels eerily similar to Oh
five.
You had Vince doing his thing, kicking off
that season.
Oh, I look, I'm all for dreaming big.
You know, this, my goodness, Tristan, what's good
comment from YouTube.
What a great comeback and a Hook 'em.
Yes, sir.
A comment.
Another from YouTube from Vince.
This does do, this doesn't feel real.
I'm with you.
I like, as I'm talking right now, I
am still in shock.
Seriously.
Y'all I'm in shock.
I don't know how this happened.
I mean, I watched the game just like
you did.
Things just kept falling our way.
We looked at defense.
I already gave them a ton of credit,
three points allowed only in the second half
credit to Coach Muschamp.
They made some great halftime adjustments, some incredible
halftime adjustments.
Got to give the defense credit.
I know arch is going to get a
hell of a lot of it, but you've
got to give the defense credit.
I mean, without this performance in the second
half, shutting down the Ohio state offense to
three points and none in the fourth quarter.
Hey, K hips.
Appreciate you, man.
Respect for sure.
Thanks for coming to hang out.
Appreciate the comment, brother.
Dennis Longhorns for life.
Indeed.
Stunned in Austin are the Ohio state, but
guys, you had a pretty good game all
the way around up until that fourth quarter
for Ohio state.
And then it just unraveled from there.
Texas figured it out offensively.
The defense locked down the Ohio state offense.
You had a missed field goal.
Very fortuitous.
That's a big time.
Miss 40 something yard or makeable field goal.
We asked for wide left.
Sure enough.
It was hooked wide left.
It looked that that's not the only reason
Ohio state loss, but that field goal is
made.
Texas isn't winning this ball game.
I mean, look, maybe something else incredible happens,
but I'm not sure Texas is winning this
ball game.
If that field goal gets made.
Yeah.
Jeremiah Smith in the first half was going
off.
He had 164 yards.
Texas has really shut him down.
The first couple of match-ups they played
tonight.
He went off in the first half.
They figured out a way in the second
half, but he was dropping a couple.
He had a couple of drops.
A couple, at least that went off the
hands.
It was not a great performance from him
in the offense in that fourth quarter.
In the second half, first half felt like
everything was going right for the Buckeyes.
It really did.
Everything felt like it was going Ohio state's
way.
That's why you got to play all four
quarters.
Am I right?
That is why you have to play all
four.
Who's the player of the game, man?
I mean, like we got to go offense
and defense here.
Who's the player of the game?
Man.
Mosley made some huge catches.
I know arch the quarterback.
Like we're always going to gravitate towards him.
Smothers.
He had almost, let's see Smothers had over
a hundred yards from scrimmage.
It's a tough one for player of the
game.
It really is offensively.
I think you could go Smothers two touchdowns
arch definitely connected with some big throws there
at the end.
Great stuff.
We keep rolling.
That's the greatest ugly game ever as a
comment from tick tock.
I mean, look, I don't know if I
would agree.
Totally.
I've seen worse, man.
How do you say this is the, uh,
the greatest ugly game ever?
I feel like I've seen some worse ones
than this.
I mean, look, was it sharp?
No, I'll agree with you on that.
I feel like I've seen some worse ones.
That's for sure.
For sure.
Just wait.
Charles says, just wait for that beating against
a and M man.
I heard that all last year.
And then we all know what happened.
I heard that last year and we all
know what happened in the lone star showdown.
Uh, look, it being in college station may
help the cause a little bit.
But man, we'll, we'll talk more about that
later.
The Aggies were, we're busy playing Arizona state
today.
Oh my goodness.
Appreciate the followers, by the way.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
I love that.
The Aggie fans are already fired up.
We just beat Ohio state and, uh, you
got some Aggies fans really thinking they're about
to lay it down.
All right.
You do you buddy.
You do you.
Oh, you lose his beans.
I said it earlier.
Oh, you loses Texas wins.
It's always a good day when that happens.
It's always a good day.
See Kel.
I think that that is a very likely
scenario, Georgia and Texas for the sec championship.
I think that is a very likely scenario.
Look for three quarters, everything we worried about
coming into this game was showing up, right?
Coming into this game, we said, Texas can't
turn the ball over.
They can't give up explosive plays.
And so naturally you had Jeremiah Smith killing
the secondary and Ohio state looking incredibly clean
for about three quarters.
Then Texas scored 21 unanswered in the fourth
arch and Wingo got them into the end
zone.
Hollywood Smothers scored a couple of times and
the defense finished it off with the interception
and only allowed three points in the second
half.
I appreciate the Rose.
Thank you so much.
Vegas called.
I wonder what the, what the money was
like on this game.
I don't know if, if the public was
a fade in Ohio state, or if you
had a lot of money on Texas, honestly,
I probably should have looked into it before
the game.
But man, I feel like you probably had
some people rolling with Ohio state today.
I would be surprised to learn that the
public was on Texas.
Maybe I'll do some research into it, but
that would surprise me.
Okay.
I think you played a pretty bad game
for three quarters and you still ended up
beating the number one team in the country.
You want to go a little glass half
full with me for a second.
You want to go a little wide frame
with me for a moment.
That's scary.
You played this bad for three quarters and
you still ended up knocking off the number
one team in the country.
I'll be it.
Yes.
You're at home.
And yes, that matters.
Don't know if this happens.
If you're on the road playing at Ohio
state, but you weren't, you're in Austin.
You had the home crowd behind you.
It is what it is.
It's scary.
When you think about the fact that Texas
really did not even play a complete game
tonight and they still found a way to
win.
Woo.
Fourth quarter changed the entire story.
It really looked like Ohio state was imposing
their will.
And then the field goal was missed.
And then it felt like that was just
the backbreaker.
It felt like that really just took the
wind out of the sails of the Buckeyes.
And you just did not have Texas look
back from that moment.
That was the life they needed.
Look, Sayin to me, appreciate the comment here,
man.
Thanks for hanging out.
Look, a good game.
It was a great game.
I know it's not the results you wanted.
Julian Sayin, I can't say really impresses me
a ton.
I I'm definitely not overly impressed, but I
want to just be real.
I mean, arch today left a lot on
the table.
Like I don't know, you know, beyond the
fact that he completes the comeback.
I don't know if you walk away today,
wowed by arch Manning.
I think you walk away feeling like this
was a huge moment for him, but you
also feel like he's still got a ton
to work on and improve upon.
And in that, I think is not me
trying to say arch is bad right now,
but it just feels like he hasn't even
reached the ceiling and with Sayin, I haven't
watched him enough to really make a super
refined comment, but I will say just watching
him tonight and watching him last year, last
year might've been a little unfair because that
was one of his first games, but I
don't know how impressed I am.
The, the Sark fourth down conversions, Kachow with
the YouTube comment here.
Don't know how he made those two fourth
down conversions.
Sark with those calls on fourth down, ballsy.
I mean, gutsy calls, man.
You, you had Herbie and you had the
broadcast booth.
Like what is this dude doing?
You heard it too.
There was a lot of doubt coming out
of the booth on those fourth down calls
that Sark decides we're going for it.
And when you really look back at it,
those decisions by Sark to go for it
on fourth down, even when the analytics said
not to reason why we won the game.
If Sark doesn't go for those crazy fourth
downs and look, I didn't think one of
them was all that crazy.
I thought the one in our own territory
was a little bit suspect.
It worked out.
Arch Manning made a great throw and we
were able to pick it up.
But the other one I was actually okay
with, but I have to say the one
where we were like at our own 35
or 30, it's like, okay, this is ballgame
Sark going for it on those fourth downs.
A huge reason why along with the defense,
along with the offense, Mosley got hot there.
And that last drive Arch Manning got hot.
He was connecting left and right Hollywood smothers.
The workhorse today, he had nearly 25 total
touches both through the air and on the
ground.
McJay just found this out.
YouTube Texas has the most ranked wins in
the country since joining the SEC.
Big, if true, I'm not saying that what
you're reporting is not accurate, McJay, but obviously
without having verified for myself, if that is
true, wow, that is impressive.
Wingo definitely did not help out Arch Manning
today.
I know that they connected later on, but
yeah, Wingo drops the touchdown earlier on.
Arch definitely was not helped out by the
supporting cast.
He definitely missed some throws himself, right?
He was not super sharp there in the
first three quarters, especially, but you can safely
say he could have got a lot more
help from some of the offensive players.
Cam Coleman dropped the big one.
That's for sure.
Smothers did look great.
Look, Raleek Brown had some hard runs too.
I know Raleek is probably gonna draw some
ire from Longhorns fans today, but Raleek Brown
had some hard runs.
If you take away the fumble, you take
away like the weird going out of bounds
on third downplay.
Raleek had a pretty good game.
I mean, look, 10 carries, 54 yards, averaging
five yards a carry.
I mean, that's better than what Smothers was
doing.
Granted, Smothers, you score the game winning touchdown
there.
You're naturally going to get propped up a
little bit higher than the guy that doesn't
have any, but Raleek, I thought in between
some of the mistakes had some really good
runs tonight.
I think they continue on with the two
headed monster.
You know, everything is less of a big
deal in terms of mistakes when you go
and win the football game.
And this is a beautiful game for Sark
because you won, but you have a lot
that you can nitpick and practice the next
week, right?
I mean, it's so ideal.
You have so much that you can use
in the tape of this game to help
defensively, to help offensively, special teams.
There's a lot to improve upon, but you
won.
It just makes everything so much better.
Yeah.
Posted by ESPN.
Love that.
Most wins against ranked opponents, Texas Longhorns since
joining the SEC.
Wow.
Impressive.
And look, you got to give Sark some
credit for that, man.
I know that there were a lot of
people ready to hang up Sark and crucify
him, but you really had Sark doing some
big things both last year and even the
year before when they went on their run
with Quinn Ewers.
I know last year you didn't make the
playoffs, but you had some big moments last
year too.
You got to give Sark some credit.
I am a big believer.
The grass is not always greener and the
grass is pretty green with Sark right now.
I know we're talking about in the aftermath
of a huge win, one of the biggest
wins, I think in school history, when you
really contextualize it, this has got to be
up there.
One of the biggest wins in school history.
I mean, I would be very interested to
hear from the longtime Longhorns fans and even
the longtime media members and where this win
ranks, but number one, you're at home under
the lights, game day, you're down 20 points
going into the fourth quarter and you win.
I don't know how many wins top this
one in terms of the regular season.
I really don't.
Josh, absolutely.
Great day for Texas sports.
Rangers win, horns win.
Oh, you loses.
And didn't, did the Astros lose too?
I know I'm about to piss off some
of y'all that are hanging out.
Maybe I know we got some Astros fans
that are Longhorns fans.
I won't rub it in too much, but
man, it's a good day overall, isn't it?
It's a great day.
Guillermo, my guy, great comeback, win comment from
Tik TOK Guillermo.
Appreciate you, man.
Great to see you.
Great to see you.
Hey socks.
What's good?
Hook them horns.
Just fun.
Hanging out.
It's just fun.
Hanging out, man.
Yeah.
The look, Mick J.
Thank you for bringing that up.
Saban, Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Quinn Ewers, Xavier Worthy,
50 yard bomb.
That one's pretty special.
Winning by 10 in Tuscaloosa.
That's up there.
Look, I don't know what we would think
about this.
This is a great debate question.
What's better tonight or Sark winning in Tuscaloosa?
Drop it in the comments.
What do you think about this?
Mick J.
Appreciate this.
This is a great discussion.
What's a bigger win tonight or Sark, Quinn
and Worthy winning by double digits in Tuscaloosa
against Saban?
Caleb says this one's better.
I think number one in the country at
home down 20.
Mick J., I know I'm probably being a
little bit prisoner of the moment, but this
one feels a little bigger to me.
I enjoyed that win in Tuscaloosa so much.
I'm not even lying, man.
That was one of the biggest wins I
felt like too.
It feels like this one's a little bigger.
It really does.
The Tuscaloosa, Saban, you had Sark coming back
to Alabama where he obviously spent some time
coaching, won a national championship there.
This one feels a little bigger to me.
Zach, what's good?
As a Buckeye fan, comment says from TikTok,
you guys deserve the win.
We blew it.
I appreciate that, man.
Thank you for hanging out.
Respect to you.
It was a good game.
I think Ohio State is going to look
back on this one and really bang their
head against the wall.
There's a lot that transpired over the last
15 minutes of play.
The missed field goal is huge.
I mean, look, that one's got to be
made if you're an Ohio State fan.
I know Ryan Day is going to get
a lot of crap for this one, but
that missed field goal is everything.
You're on the road in a tough, hostile
environment.
Now, do I think DKR is the toughest
place to play in college football?
No.
It is, I think, in the top, I
would say 15 or 20.
Maybe I'm underselling it a little bit.
I've been to a number of games there,
and I definitely think it's a great environment,
so Horns fans, don't take this as disrespect.
I do think there are a few places
in college football that are a little bit
more challenging to play in, but by no
means putting us outside the top 15, top
20 at the worst.
It gets loud there, man.
It's a big stadium.
There's a lot of people.
It gets loud there.
DKR starts rocking when that crowd gets on
their feet, and you saw it in the
fourth quarter tonight.
You really did.
Yeah, look, great comment here.
Dude, you haven't stopped smiling yet, so I
would guess this is the biggest win for
you.
Yeah.
I mean, look, I'm a little bit prisoner
of the moment right now, I think, but
I cannot believe what I just saw.
I'm still shocked and stunned that that comeback
was completed.
I really am.
I do have to admit, after losing to
Ohio State, I'm with this comment.
I think I'm reading this comment correctly here.
After losing to Ohio State back-to-back
times, finally, we break through against Ohio State.
It was embarrassing in the game when we
played and Quinn gets stripped.
His old roommate takes it all the way
to the house.
You had the loss that ultimately was a
big reason the Longhorns didn't make the playoffs
last year.
You had the 14-7 loss at Ohio
State last year.
What a game, baby.
What a game.
Yeah, look, I think, as I think through
some of the keys in this game, some
of the major takeaways, Arch, man, he deserves
some big-time credit.
Yes, I think we can do a little
bit of nitpicking.
The stat line is not a masterpiece from
Arch, but the part that matters, when Texas
absolutely had to move the football late, the
offense finally started doing it.
So for all the things that we can
pick apart about Arch Manning and the performance
tonight, when you needed the offense to actually
move the ball, it happened.
And I think that's what you have to
focus on.
You had the wing go drop.
He probably should have had another touchdown in
there, right?
But Arch did not get rattled.
The fourth quarter, he locked in, and when
this team needed clutch, he gave them clutch.
Biggest takeaway from Arch today.
Had 22 yards running the football as well.
Wasn't afraid to take it up the field
when he had to.
Felt like, for the most part, he made
smart decisions, got out of bounds.
Did take a couple of hits here and
there, but by and large, I thought, put
himself in good positions.
This is a great building moment for him.
You really care a lot less about the
stats, and you care more about the substance
of this win, which is you were down
20, and you had your quarterback stay resilient,
stay locked in, focused, and lead a huge
comeback.
A 20-point fourth-quarter comeback.
21 unanswered.
Beautiful stuff.
We keep going.
From Ohio, it was a great game, but
Texas needs some better receivers.
Tom, what's good?
Appreciate you hanging out and dropping by, man.
Yet the receiving core continues to not convince
me completely either.
Tom, I'm with you.
Coleman, I know that he's still getting his
feet wet in the system.
Mosley, I think, really stepped up big at
the end of the game.
Arch was going to Mosley, which I think
game flow, you have to be flexible.
You can't be forcing the ball to Coleman
or to Wingo.
You can't be forcing the ball to anyone
against an Ohio State-type team.
You just can't do it.
You've got to take what the game is
giving you.
You have to take what the defense is
giving you, and Arch did a great job
of that.
When he was hitting Mosley on that last
drive, Mosley's open.
It's there.
Arch isn't really forcing anything on that last
drive.
I think that you definitely would like to
see a guy like Coleman, who you're paying
a lot of money this year to play
for your school.
You'd love to see Cam Coleman be a
Jeremiah Smith.
I know Smith faded slightly there at the
end of the game.
I don't think you can at all blame
the loss on Jeremiah.
He had 164 yards.
He had a couple bounce off his hands,
but there was way more stuff, I think,
if you're an Ohio State fan, you focus
on over Jeremiah Smith.
I think a lot of Longhorns fans expected
Coleman to be maybe a 1B to Jeremiah
Smith's 1A.
Maybe, look, we're being unfair after two weeks.
I think we are.
Let's see what Cam looks like after week
four or week five.
We played two games, but man, you would
have just loved to have seen a monster
game tonight from Cam Coleman.
I'll have to go back and look at
the film.
It's very possible Ohio State wasn't giving them
Cam Coleman.
I talked about that this week in a
reel that I posted.
Wingo plus Coleman is going to be tough
for a lot of teams, even though Wingo
had some boneheaded moves today, boneheaded plays.
Wingo stretches the field for you.
Cam Coleman naturally is going to draw eyes.
You have a lot that can open up
for players like Smothers.
I think, honestly, Emmett Mosley, what you saw
with Emmett Mosley shining today is a direct
result of what I was talking about.
Cam Coleman and Wingo, because of the amount
of attention that they draw, Wingo being the
big stretch, the big hitter, you have Cam
Coleman that can stretch the field, and he
can also run some of the underneath routes
as well.
It's going to leave guys like Mosley and
Smothers out of the backfield.
Shoot, even Spencer Shannon and Emaree Winston, those
guys are going to get opportunities because defenses
are going to be trying to take Coleman,
Wingo, and eliminate those deep threats.
Absolutely.
Question from TikTok here.
Appreciate all the comments.
Thank you so much.
Was this a Heisman trophy win for Arch?
No, I don't think so.
I think that this is a respect win
for Arch.
This is a respect win for Arch.
Did the numbers scream Heisman tonight?
No, but we know all too well that
is what happens a lot at the end
of the season with the Heisman.
It's numbers, baby.
So no, I don't think this is a
Heisman moment for Arch, but this is a
respect moment.
A lot of people disrespect Arch Manning on
a regular.
Overrated, overhyped.
There was nothing overrated or overhyped about engineering
a 20-point comeback against the number one
team in the country that's kicked your butt
up and down the field the last two
years.
There's nothing overhyped.
There's nothing overrated about what I just watched
from Arch Manning.
Was it a perfect game for Manning?
No, but it doesn't have to be.
You won the football game, and Arch Manning
is a big reason you won the football
game, along with the defense, along with Coach
Muschamp in the second half adjustments, along with
Sark in the play calling and the second
half adjustments offensively.
There's a lot that comes together here, but
at the end of the day, this win
should build more respect in the public eye
for Arch Manning.
He has been doubted left and right ever
since he signed with the Texas Longhorns.
Last year, it was left and right.
I mean, they could beat a team by
21-28, and people were going off on
Arch Manning.
It doesn't matter.
When you are a big name like that,
you're going to get criticism regardless.
I don't know how you twist this.
I don't know how anyone twists this.
Again, was it perfect?
No, but when it mattered, was Arch Manning
an incredible football player out there tonight?
Absolutely, and he deserves his flowers for a
performance like this, especially for what he did
in the fourth quarter.
Deep ball to Coleman.
Look, I will say this.
If I'm getting a little picky, it could
have been laid out a little bit better
so Coleman didn't have to leave his feet,
but nevertheless, it is a great throw that
Coleman has to come down with.
Coleman has to come down with that throw.
You're an NFL top prospect, dude.
You got to come down with that throw
if you're Coleman, the one that eventually turned
into the interception.
Hollywood Smothers, got to show him some love
too.
Hollywood was the closer tonight.
He was the closer, man.
Down there at the goal line, who did
they have?
They had Smothers trying to ice the ball
game, and you know what?
He was getting stuck there a little bit,
but it actually worked out in Texas' favor
because it killed more clock, but to me,
this feels like a remember the name moment
for Hollywood.
You look new to school, dual threat, double
-headed monster.
You got Brown as well, but Hollywood is
doing it with the hands out of the
backfield, and he is running hard between the
tackles, between the guards, man.
Hollywood definitely deserves his respect as well for
what he did today.
Jeremiah Smith, he was incredible tonight for Ohio
State.
I know got some Ohio State fans hanging
out.
Appreciate you, man.
Respect, because when fans of the other team
lose, a lot of the times it's crickets.
I appreciate all y'all hanging out.
Look, credit to you.
Ohio State has had our number.
It's about time that the Longhorns finally won
a game.
I mean, seriously, Ohio State, the better team
for the last two years that the Longhorns
have played them, and Ohio State's still, in
my opinion, a very, very good team and
one bad kick away from winning this football
game, and there's more to it than that.
The defense faded a bit in the second
half for the Buckeyes after an incredible first
half.
It was actually the tale of two halves.
Buckeyes' defense was elite in the first half,
bad in the second half, and it flipped
for the Longhorns.
Bad, and I wouldn't even say it was
terrible by the defense because the defense was
working with a short field like for three
straight possessions, so I can't even say the
defense was bad for Texas, but it wasn't
great.
It wasn't outstanding, and then in the second
half for Texas, that's exactly what it was.
Jeremiah Smith, he did exactly what we feared
he was going to do, which is have
a big game, break containment, exploit one-on
-one matchups.
I have no clue why they had Jeremiah
Smith in any one-on-one coverages.
The single coverage on Jeremiah Smith just felt
stupid every time I saw it.
Look, I know that Ohio State has a
lot of different weapons.
You double cover Jeremiah Smith every single play.
It's going to get a little dicey, but
I felt like he was open way too
much in single coverage tonight.
Look, if you throw it to him in
double, and he finds a way to come
down with it, credit to him, but there
were many times single coverage on Jeremiah Smith.
I mean, Muschamp.
I guess that's some confidence in the DBs,
but at the same time, my brother, you
might want to have a little bit of
help over the top against the best wide
receiver in college football.
He did have a couple of drops.
I'm reading the comments right now.
Mr. Go Too Far, appreciate you.
Yeah, I mean, he did have a couple
of drops in crunch time and clutch time.
I still say, I mean, the defense giving
up 21 unanswered there.
That's tough.
The defense was, I think, a little gassed
at the end.
He had the kicker not coming through.
It's not just on Smith and the drops
or Sayin, and, you know, I hit the
incompletions today from him.
It was a collective on each side, the
loss and the win.
Appreciate all you guys.
We keep on going.
Brian, what's good, man?
It feels like the horns can finally win
a big game again.
Comment from YouTube.
It was big getting this game with the
SEC slate this year.
I totally agree.
Huge getting this game because if you lose
this game, then you got to go through
the SEC gauntlet.
Try and only to lose one.
Now you can go through the SEC gauntlet
and hopefully they win every game.
I mean, look, I'm not going to be
mad at them.
Go ahead and win every game.
But if they can manage to only lose
one or two, you lose two, you're it.
You have some cushion now.
You don't want Texas to lose at all.
Don't get it twisted.
But you have a two loss cushion.
You lose this game.
You really feel like we can only lose
one the rest of the way.
The margin for error becomes incredibly thin.
Brian, horns and Rangers win.
OU and the Astros lose.
Brian, yes, sir.
Let's go.
Great comment from YouTube, man.
Got the ice cube going.
Oh, I love it.
Love it.
Bro, since 2004, McKay with the YouTube gold
here.
Number one teams were 191 and O when
leading 20 or more when entering the fourth
quarter until tonight.
History being made.
Now, Mick J, does that change the opinion?
Does that change the opinion?
And what we just watched something historic tonight,
my guy.
Does that change the opinion a little bit
on this win being better or slightly behind
the Tuscaloosa win a couple of years ago?
I was about to say, Mick J, I
think that's that has to change your mind.
I said that this one's a little bigger
than Tuscaloosa and Tuscaloosa was sweet.
That was a sweet victory start going back
home.
Quinn Ewers.
That was a respect game for Quinn Ewers.
We were talking about Arch Manning respect game.
That was a respect game for Quinn Ewers.
And you had Xavier worthy going off in
that game too.
You had a little bit of everything.
The defense balled out and you've won by
double digits against Saban in Tuscaloosa.
Now that hadn't been done very often to
be fair, but 191 and O were number
one teams since 2004, entering the fourth quarter
with a 20 point lead or more.
So proud of them.
Horns tonight.
Comment from TikTok.
Indeed, brother.
We basically, Michael says from TikTok spotted them
three points to start the game and still
one comment here from TikTok.
Buckeyes will run the table and defeat Texas
in a rematch in the natty could see
these teams meeting back up again and it
would be theater.
It would be peak college football theater.
I'd love to see a rematch.
Look at the end of the day.
I'm glad that Texas did not cancel this
game.
It would have been a bad look to
cancel.
I must admit there was a lot of
overreaction last year and I can't say that
I was not a part of it at
all.
You hated seeing Texas who was a clearly
better team than some of the playoff teams
last year.
We don't need to go down that rabbit
hole.
Texas was a better team than some of
the teams that made it into the playoff
last year, plain and simple.
They were, it's, it's not really an arguable
thing for me.
I know some people will still argue it.
I don't even care to get into that
argument.
You either know, or you don't know Texas
deserved to be in the playoff last year.
They were one of the 12 best teams.
The committee was in a tough spot, only
really wanting to put teams with two losses
or fewer in.
I think it would have set a very
interesting precedent, but Texas definitely was rocking the
boat a little bit with some of the
cancellation talk.
I know Sark was hacked off about it
and talked about maybe canceling a game like
this.
I'm glad he didn't because these games are
outstanding for college football and for the city
of Austin, the students, and just everyone who's
a diehard of the Longhorns win or lose.
This game was a treat.
I, this game was probably going to be
one of the best games of the year.
If not the best game of the year,
we'll see what plays out the rest of
the way.
It was the right thing to do to
play this game.
Is it risky in today's state of college
football?
Yes, but the reward is big.
I think that the Longhorns are going to
look back after this one subsides a little
bit and be very thankful they did not
back out.
ArchDoc definitely shot up.
McJay, appreciate the comment.
I agree with that.
Arch Manning, respect game.
Again, forget the Heisman.
That's going to go down as a stats
thing.
I think a lot of the time, I
don't know if Arch is going to get
the numbers to be considered for the Heisman,
but respect game for sure.
Absolutely.
Look, we talked about the defense.
The defense deserves a ton of credit.
Ohio State finished with 372 total yards, but
Texas shut them out in the fourth quarter.
Julian Sayin, one touchdown, one interception, did not
complete passes at a great cliff tonight.
And the defense by no means had, did
they have a perfect night, but they had
a winning fourth quarter.
And that's how I feel about Arch Manning
too.
It wasn't a perfect night, but it was
a winning fourth quarter.
That's for sure.
Incredible that Texas won this game without winning
the turnover battle.
Texas, of course, had a couple of turnovers
tonight.
You had Ohio State with the one interception
at the end of the game.
Pretty impressive.
And that one interception, by the way, that's
not even really one that I would count
being that it happened on the last play.
So Texas found a way, essentially a two
turnover difference, two turnover margin, right?
To still win this game.
That is impressive.
It's pretty wild.
They somehow survived it.
That's what you got to do.
It's not always going to be clean.
They somehow survived it.
They can't make a habit out of this.
Granted, they're not going to play a lot
of teams at the level of Ohio State,
but they can't make a habit out of
this.
But for tonight, they figured out a way.
And at the end of the day, that
scoreboard reads 24-23.
And Texas now goes into next week flying
high.
It's going to be tough, like I said,
to play UTSA next week after a big
game like this.
But nevertheless, I think this is the kind
of win that can change a season.
Texas 2-0.
It's not just a nice win.
You beat the number one team in the
country after being down 20 entering the fourth.
That becomes a reference point, a turning point
in the season, in my opinion, and moving
forward for the rest of the year.
Anytime Texas is in some trouble later, everybody
in that locker room now knows that they've
come back from something that's probably going to
be worse.
I don't think Texas is going to find
themselves trailing by 20 a lot in the
fourth quarter this year.
It feels like this is about the worst
punch you're going to take and about the
worst thing that you're going to have to
come back from this year.
Big moment for the locker room.
Big moment.
This is ultimately, though, kind of where I
keep landing, right?
You can love what Texas showed in the
fourth quarter and still admit there's room for
improvement, which is kind of scary.
This team has not even reached its ceiling
yet, and you just beat the number one
team in the nation.
LSU is going to be tough.
Beam, I'm with you.
This one is going to be tough.
LSU is going to be a challenge, no
doubt.
But again, you've created margin tonight.
You've created valuable margin tonight.
You have an opportunity to now have a
little bit of a better shot running through
the SEC gauntlet.
You drop a couple of games, you drop
a game, your chances are much, much better.
SAS comment, game was equal parts Texas winning
and OSU choking it away.
Good game to you guys.
It's well said.
It's very well said.
Of course, as a Texas fan, I'm naturally
going to gravitate, show a little more love
to the comeback.
But I've said a couple of different times,
this was a melt by OSU.
This is a melt by Ohio State, no
doubt.
The kicker missing, the 40-yarder or whatever
it was.
You had the offense unable to develop that
closeout drive.
You had the defense allowing 21 points in
the fourth quarter.
What was the other side of that?
If you bet Texas in the second half,
I wonder what the odds were.
It wouldn't be the opposite, right?
Do you think they were plus 1,000?
Think they were 10 to one?
Crazy.
Absolutely crazy.
Brian says from YouTube, LSU, definitely a challenge
playing against literally NFL players.
Yeah, it's going to be tough.
That's going to be a tough one for
sure.
The Natties in Vegas this year?
What?
Those of y'all that don't know, that
is where I live now.
Lived in Texas for a very long time.
I've lived out in Vegas now for about
a decade and a half.
Love it out here.
Miss Texas, but love it out here.
The Nattie being in my backyard now got
a little bit interesting.
That is for sure.
That is for sure.
Ryan Day's beard is a little darker than
this.
This is a little lighter, I think, than
Ryan Day's, man.
I'm not laying it on thick like Ryan
does, baby.
Oh, goodness.
What a fun night.
What a fun night.
Let's go ahead and let's look forward to
next week in just a second here, but
to wrap it up, tonight told me Texas
has a level of fight that we had
not really been forced to see yet.
Down 20 to the number one team entering
the fourth quarter, they still found a way.
I don't think there were a lot of
Longhorns fans really counting on a dub after
that third quarter of play.
You're down 20 points.
This team showed you that they've got some
fight in them.
They've got some dog in them, and I
think this is going to bode very well
for them moving forward.
Still a little unsure about the offense, if
I'm being real.
The first three quarters were not amazing, and
I hope that you can maybe just chalk
this one up to really good defense from
Ohio State, really good team, and it's all
downhill from here.
That would be phenomenal, but I'd like to
see a little more consistency with this offense.
Absolutely.
Next thing I'm watching, can Texas take some
of the lessons learned today and apply them
moving forward?
I know UTSA is not necessarily going to
be the next best stop to see that,
to evaluate that, but I would love to
see Texas take this, look at some of
the issues from tonight, and just become even
sharper.
That is the scariest takeaway for me.
You won this football game, and you didn't
even play your best football.
All right.
Look, on deck, UTSA, they come to Austin
next Saturday, close out Texas non-conference schedule,
then the Longhorns will go to Tennessee.
And you've got Tennessee in Knoxville on, what
is that, the 26th?
There you go.
Clean up the turnovers.
I'd love to see a zero, a goose
egg against a team like UTSA.
Control the ball.
Don't spend three quarters waiting for the offense
to wake up.
And I'd like to see Arch come out
sharp, build on this fourth quarter, keep on
that positive, that upward trajectory, man.
And Hollywood Smothers, I know Sark said it's
going to be a two-headed monster out
of the backfield.
I kind of feel like Hollywood earned it
a little bit.
I'm not saying that you go away from
Raleek.
I think Raleek had some bad moments in
this game, but he had some great runs.
I think that he is going to be
a great change of pace.
I kind of think in a big game
like this, you really saw Smothers shine.
He's valuable out of the backfield, between the
tackles, between the guards.
He showed you that on the goal line.
He can catch the football out of the
backfield as well.
I think you might be seeing Hollywood Smothers
take over the lion's share a little bit.
I feel like he was another one that
earned some respect tonight, no doubt.
I think next week you use it as
a bit of a correction week, fine-tuning
week, if you will, before you go and
you play in Knoxville on the road.
A challenging environment for sure, but a place
I think Texas can get a win.
Texas, I think, in that game will be
favored.
Tennessee ranked number 18.
They beat Georgia Tech today.
I don't know who Tennessee has next week.
I'll see if I can get the Tennessee
schedule up for you guys real quick.
Tennessee plays a good old Kennesaw State.
They played Furman, Georgia Tech, and Kennesaw State.
So Texas is going to be a pretty
rude awakening for them, needless to say.
Right now DraftKings has Texas as a seven
-point favorite on the road in Knoxville, seven
-point favorite in that Tennessee game.
Things can change, but right now that's telling
you something.
If you factor in the three-point home
field advantage, if you're not into the sports
betting, sports gambling, typically they say home field
advantage worth a field goal or so, give
or take.
So if this was being played at DKR,
it might be a minus 13.
That's the kind of swing we're talking about.
Neutral field, minus 10.
Definitely going to be an interesting couple of
weeks here.
Can't overlook UTSA.
Don't want to have an embarrassing sloppy game
against them.
Stay focused, and then you head into your
first road game of the year.
Sharp, ready to get a win, ready to
continue all this positive momentum.
Hey, appreciate all y'all hanging out.
We are going to wrap things up.
We have been going almost an hour and
a half, over an hour and a half.
I am going to get back on later
tonight.
It's going to be late night, and we're
going to do a Rangers Live.
I'm going to take about an hour break.
So if you're still up after midnight in
Texas, I'll probably be hopping on the live
and maybe doing a little bit more podcast
style.
So look, if you're up late after midnight
Texas time, and you want to watch and
listen to some Rangers talk, we will be
doing Rangers a little bit later on in
the evening.
It's a long day, but you know what?
I love what I do.
I love talking sports.
Love talking Texas sports.
So if you are a fan of Rangers,
Cowboys, one of the two, this is the
place for you.
Tomorrow night, we will be live for the
Cowboys game as well.
So busy weekend, but good stuff from Ride
on Rangers.
We are really glad that football is back.
Thrilled that football is back.
We'll see what we can get from the
Rangers and the Cowboys tomorrow, but the Longhorns
have gotten this weekend off to a good
start, haven't they?
Crazy win tonight.
Texas wins 24 to 23.
Arch Manning leads the comeback.
The defense allows a measly three points in
the second half.
Incredible stuff.
And we're on to UTSA next week.
We'll have some videos out to you guys
throughout the week.
Some of my shorts from the Longhorns pod
that we did today, from the Longhorns live
show that we did today.
Appreciate you sharing those with other people that
you know are diehard Longhorns fans.
Spread the word.
But the content is opening up here.
We are football season, baseball season, basketball season
starting up soon.
It's going to be great.
Speaking of, hope you guys have a great
rest of the weekend.
We'll hopefully see you next Saturday after the
UTSA game.
We'll go live fourth quarter once again.
And as I always say to end every
show, God bless and Hook 'em.
