  • (13:08) Ohio State - Carnell Tate 40-yard pass from Julian Sayin (Jayden Fielding kick), (Drive: 7 plays, 68 yards, 4:53; Ohio State 14–0)
  • (3:28) Texas - Parker Livingstone 32-yard pass from Arch Manning (Mason Shipley kick), (Drive: 4 plays, 60 yards, 0:42; Ohio State 14–7)

On August 30 the Longhorns opened the season on the road at Ohio State. It was the 5th meeting between the two programs.[73] The game was a rematch of the 2025 Cotton Bowl Playoff Semifinal which Ohio State had won 28-14. The Longhorns were the consensus preseason No. 1 team while the Buckeyes were No. 2 in the Coaches Poll and No. 3 in the AP Poll, meaning this was the first time in history that the number 1 and 2 teams faced each other in week one.[74]

Texas received the opening kick and drove all the way to the OSU 43-yardline before turning the ball over on downs. The game remained scoreless until the second quarter when the Buckeyes drove 80-yards in 13 plays to score the first touchdown of the game, taking the lead 7-0. Early in the third quarter Texas looked poised to respond, having driven 70 yards to the OSU 1-yardline but elected to go for it on 4th & goal, failing to convert. On the ensuing drive it appeared that the Longhorns had scored a safety when a Buckeyes offensive lineman was called for holding in the endzone, but an offsetting penalty allowed them to punt the ball away.[75]

On Texas' next drive they turned the ball over again after quarterback Arch Manning's pass was intercepted by Jermaine Mathews Jr. At the start of the fourth quarter Ohio State used this momentum to drive 68 yards for the game's second touchdown, a 40-yard pass from Julian Sayin to Carnell Tate to extend the lead 14-0. Texas again drove the length of the field and yet again elected to go for it on fourth & short, this time from the OSU 9-yardline. Manning's ensuing pass fell incomplete, intended for freshman receiver Parker Livingstone. On Texas' next possession with 3:28 left in the game, Manning found Livingstone in the endzone for a 32-yard passing touchdown[76] that was confirmed with replay, cutting the Horns deficit to 7. After forcing a three-and-out the Longhorns had the ball with 2:26 to go in the game. They drove to the 50-yardline but again, failed to convert on a critical fourth down attempt, after which the Buckeyes ran out the clock to seal the 14–7 victory.

The victory propelled the Buckeyes to consensus No. 1 in both the AP and Coaches poll. The Longhorns fell to No. 7 in the AP and No. 6 in the Coaches polls. The loss was Texas' first opening season loss since 2018 versus Maryland and the first time a No. 1 team had lost their season opener since the 1990 Miami Hurricanes.[77]
