What We Expect from Ohio State’s College Football Playoff Semifinal Matchup with Texas at the Cotton Bowl

As well as Ohio State’s played so far in the College Football Playoff, it feels like the only team who can beat the Buckeyes is themselves. But that doesn’t mean a win over Texas will come easily.

The Longhorns are in the CFP semifinals too for a reason, the biggest of which is their defense, which leads the nation in passing yards allowed per attempt. We’re not sure if anyone in college football can stop Jeremiah Smith right now, but the Longhorns might be the most well-equipped team in the country to at least slow Ohio State’s passing offense down.
