So I'm sitting here watching this game and I'm asking myself a few questions. Is Ohio State really that good or is Texas just overhyped because people think Arch Manning is like the GOAT or is it a combination of both. All I do know is Ohio State is making Texas look like a high school team. So I don't really know what to think. All I do know is Manning isn't looking that good and it doesn't help they keep turning the ball over.
