## Resource

Texas Longhorns crush Texas State 59-7, but are they ready for No. 1 Ohio State? BK, Brad Kellner spotlights two vulnerabilities—run game inconsistency and explosive plays allowed—that could decide the Longhorns' fate in the top-5 showdown. Can Arch Manning and Steve Sarkisian’s offense maintain momentum against the Buckeyes’ elite defense, or will red zone woes and penalties resurface at the worst moment? Key topics include the snap count battles between Dylan Sikorski and Laurence Seymore at left guard, defensive concerns at linebacker and safety, and early impressions of freshmen standouts like Hollywood Smothers and Kobe Black. BK breaks down the significance of Texas’ improved discipline and red zone efficiency, plus what must change to take down Ohio State. Can Texas’ depth and revamped strategy carry them to a statement win—and a true playoff push—this season? Thanks for tuning in! Please like, share, subscribe, and leave a comment. Hook 'Em!
