Only way Texas beats Ohio State

Is if Ewers has a complete, outstanding game

He’s capable of if. I just haven’t seen it this year

In fact, Ewers has done just enough negative to keep a lot of games much closer than they should have been

If Texas special teams have an outstanding game, this can be a blockbuster.
But I mean really good. Maybe a kick/punt return TD, and a great punt after a great punt.

This is going way under, too, IMHO

Agree but if Ewers is average to below average like he’s been of late Texas has no chance IMO

I see Texas punting a lot, especially in the first half. It has to go perfectly to keep the game close. I think Ewers' mantra will be: no turnovers. Don't be a hero and throw it away. Quickly.

The more I think about it, the more I like 1H U27.0, even if it's -125 or -130.

Texas the only team that can beat them

Texas can beat Ohio State. Ewers likely will have to play a clean game.

The weakness of Ohio State on defense is their corners, so Ewers needs to be able to attack them.

Their running game will have to be better too than it was against ASU. You have to think it will be. Ohio State playing tough against the run though

My gut feeling is Texas defense will play pretty well. A turnover or two would be nice. Howard is capable of making mistakes

Game is in texas. Maybe 80/20 fans. Osu fans cant travel every game

Texas has to have ball control. They must run the ball and have 35-40 minutes TOP. OSU is going to score 30+ if they get 8-10 possessions so the best way to win is to limit their possessions. If Ewers is throwing 25-30 times Texas has no chance.
