Summary

Ohio State opens its 2025 season by facing Texas for what will be the fifth time in program history, hoping to break a tie. OSU and the Longhorns have split the previous four meetings, with each getting a home game (winning as the visitor) and each getting a win in a bowl game. Ryan Day’s 2024 team claimed the most recent back in January in the Cotton Bowl on their way to a national title. As they gear up for the rematch on Aug. 30, what can those four previous games tell us about what to expect? Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis will spend the next few weeks exploring these four games. They’ll look at what went right, what went wrong and everything in between using the same Retalkables format we’ve used for the past five years. Only this time, we’ll look through these games with a 2025 lens as a unique way to talk about game No. 5. Up next, the Buckeyes’ 24-7 road win in 2006, which marked the beginning of a Heisman Trophy campaign and a legendary career.
