A dominant win in a night game on the road against the number two team in the nation helped solidify Ohio State's national championship bid in 2006.
Ohio State went into Texas on Sept. 9, 2006 ranked number one in the nation, and there was a ton of hype surrounding this night game. In this particular instance, it was the first time the number one team had faced off against the number two team, and the primetime atmosphere only added to the drama.
The Buckeyes had lost to Texas at home early in the previous season as Texas marched toward an eventual National Championship victory.
