Welcome to Saturday vs Sunday.

Despite putting up just 203 total yards, they outlasted Texas, who outgained them 336-203 and still lost. We break down the painful-to-watch offensive gameplans, the early struggles from Arch Manning, and why Julian Sayin looked more composed in his first start — despite the raw numbers favoring Arch.We dig into Texas’ critical red zone failures, including a 1-for-5 performance on fourth down, and the coaching decisions that left points on the field. Was the refusal to kick field goals the real nail in the coffin?This game was a defensive masterpiece or offensive disaster, depending on your perspective — with Ohio State rushing for just 77 yards and still walking away with a signature win. We explore what this means for both teams’ Heisman hopes, playoff trajectories, and how fans should interpret the first-game jitters.If you like 9-6 style LSU-Bama throwbacks or you’re just here for the chaos of two elite programs figuring it out on the fly — this episode’s for you.Let us know in the comments: was this great defense, bad offense, or just early season rust?
