## A rematch he needed
Last season Manning had one of his worst games as Texas lost 14-7 at Ohio State in the opener. Saturday night in Austin was the do-over.
## Buckeyes ran away early
Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith put Ohio State up 20-3 at the half. Texas had almost nothing going against one of the country's best defenses.

> The Buckeyes came out firing
## Twenty-one in the fourth
Manning woke the offense up and Texas scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, winning 24-23 in front of more than 105,000 fans.
## 309-0, until now
Ohio State had never lost a game it led by 17 or more at halftime. The Buckeyes were 309-0 in that spot before Saturday.

> It marked the first time in program history that Ohio State has lost a game after leading by 17 or more points at halftime.
## Two records in one night
It was also the first time Ohio State lost after leading by 20 or more through three quarters. Both marks fell in the same game.
## The schedule gets harder
Texas entered at No. 4 and should climb after toppling the top team. Next up: UTSA, then Tennessee, then Oklahoma, Florida, Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
## Key takeaway

Texas erased a 17-point halftime hole against the No. 1 team, the first time in Ohio State history that lead ever collapsed.
