This will be only the third matchup between the storied programs of Ohio State and Texas, with the series split 1-1. OSU won most recently in 2006 at Austin, 24-7, behind eventual Heisman winner Troy Smith. In that game Smith was 17 of 26 for 269 yards, against a veteran Texas defense. The young OSU defense had big plays as Laurinaitis forced a fumble and intercepted Colt McCoy. Donald Washington scooped up the lost fumble and ran it 49-yards. The young AJ Trapasso also excelled with a 50.8 average on punts.
OSU lost in Columbus in 2005, in a tight game 25-22. Click here for a recap of that game. Ohio State is 27-4-1 against teams from the Big 12, having lost to Missouri, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas along with a tie against Missouri. OSU is 5-0 against the Big 12 in bowl games, defeating Texas A&M twice, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and Colorado State once each.
