The No. 5 Texas Longhorns had a chance to overcome the odds and the oddsmakers, putting themselves in the championship game for the first time since 2009. But with the game on the line, a familiar frustration reared its ugly head and the Longhorns were on the wrong side of the falling confetti once again in the CFP in a 28-14 loss to the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday.
Red-zone scoring: Texas — 1-2 (7 points), Ohio State — 2-2 (14 points)
It’s probably not a great sign that Texas fans now have a third marquee offensive red-zone blunder to point to during the Steve Sarkisian era.
