Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Texas Longhorns Best Bet

The reigning college football national champions are losing A LOT heading into their title defense. Veteran quarterback Will Howard is now a Pittsburgh Steeler, and so is defensive standout Jack Sawyer. The Buckeyes have to replace the entirety of their defensive line, which rated 8th in pass rush rating, and 2nd in run defense rating.

While there are unknowns at both team's QB position, Arch Manning has more experience on the field than Sayin, and that is a huge advantage in a marquee matchup like this. Texas also boasts what will likely end up being a top-5 defense in college football. The offensive line remains a question for Sark's squad, but I like that their first task is to deal with an completely new Buckeyes defensive line.

The question is not who will win this game, but how many defensive touchdowns will the Longhorns score?
