COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) \u2014 Ohio State and Texas will kick off at 7:30 p.m. in their Week 2 showdown in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n
OSU just posted the news on its X account.<\/p>\n
The Buckeyes beat Texas in Columbus in the season opener for both teams last year. They also beat the Longhorns in a 2024 College Football Playoff semifinal game in Dallas eight months earlier.<\/p>\n
The 2026 matchup is scheduled to take place on Sat., Sept. 12, at Darrel K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Both teams figure to be ranked in the top five, as they were in Week 1 last year. Both teams also are expected to be starting Heisman Trophy contenders at quarterback — OSU’s Julian Sayin and Texas’ Arch Manning.<\/p>\n
