Ohio State vs. Texas Prediction

Both Ohio State and Texas had soft opponents in Week 1, with Texas playing Texas State and Ohio State playing Ball State. My analysis for this game goes back to preseason sentiment. I have legitimate worries about Ohio State's defense given their roster turnover heading into this season. If you were to believe in this defensive unit, then you have full trust in Matt Patricia reloading a top-5 defense in college football - that is something I am skeptical of.

Texas' running-back room is extremely strong. Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown provide this backfield with a one-two punch that will open up the passing game. Texas wins this massive matchup. Get the most out of this pick with DraftKings' 50% profit boost for Texas vs. Ohio State.
