Ohio State will have an offense that is capable of moving the ball and scoring points, which will be the biggest difference.

Just like you, I too am scarred by Tom Herman telling me every Wednesday or Thursday that the week of practice leading up to a big game has been amongst the best the Longhorns have ever had. So if you want to tap out now, feel free, I won't blame you. However, I will tell you that the quarterback at The University of Texas has received extensive praise from the Texas coaching staff during the Longhorns' preparation for the defending National Champions. Even with shuffling on the offensive line, the Texas quarterback has had command of practice and looked incredibly sharp in practice this week. Again, I understand this is often said in lead-ups to big games, but you don't often see your head coach laughing and joking with the media while on the podium if practice went poorly. Also, aside from the practice focus, I have been told Arch Manning is the first in the facility each morning – confirming what CJ Baxter mentioned in his media availability on Monday. We will see how it translates, but a sharp week of practice has folks growingly confident in Austin.

The belief is injury. But there has been no word on official injury from anyone at Texas.

No one knows what the deal is.

If Goosby can play, he will start and right now that is where things are trending.

Correct.

I can't say for certain one way or the other.

Probably the question that needs to be asked.

Considering he hasn't been practicing, I don't think this is the plan.

Yep, hasn't practice all fall. McCutcheon, Butler, Lockett are the next three up.

Well done lol

During the weekly SEC Teleconference, Steve Sarkisian was asked about the status of WR Emmett Mosley V and his availability for Ohio State. Sarkisian's answer did not change from his Monday press conference. "He is limited this week." Mosley's availability remains up in the air for Saturday.

I still believe in DeBoer. I believe I predicted Alabama to meet Texas in the SEC Championship Game this year.

On Monday, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian was pretty blunt with his assertion that he expects LT Trevor Goosby back on the field for the Ohio State game on Saturday. Goosby was a full-participant Tuesday morning as the Longhorns continued their game prep for Ohio State. Texas continues to rotate some bodies around on the offensive line to create the optimal five, but things are trending positively for Goosby to be as close to full-strength as possible come kickoff in Columbus.

Lol, when quarterbacks you recruit win more games for other programs than your own its normally not a good thing.

Brian Hartline will coach from the box on Saturday fwiw

That is all from Ryan Day.

Day says he did not interact with Arch Manning much during his recruitment. "Think they had their mind made up that they went wanted to play down south."

Ryan Day calls on the Ohio State fans to come in and make an impact. References Indiana having to go to a silent count when they were on offense a year ago. Said that was a huge advantage to the Buckeyes and he hopes that is the case again this weekend.

On Julian Sayin's escapability: "He has good short-area quickness... He has gotten stronger, he has put on strength, muscle, power." Day says Sayin has tendencies that mirror CJ Stroud

Ohio State does not have any fifth year guys, and only a handful of fourth year guys on roster for 2025.

If we don;t run the ball or stop the run, we aren't going to win the game says Day.

Ohio State HC Ryan Day on Texas QB Arch Manning: "With Arch, athletic, big strong arm, smart, quick release, accurate. All of the above. He checks every box."

Day says Sayin "found his voice" as a leader. Leadership and growth have been mentioned a few times in reference to Sayin.

Ohio State had its own mock game this past Saturday. COaches were in the box, players went through a fulll pre and post game runthrough. Texas did something very similar on Saturday.
