And now he gets one more opportunity here this season. It's a big one for him and for both these teams. Machelo DiAmedeo, they got from Notre Dame, kicks it off, and it's shallow enough to give the dangerous Ryan Nibbler to go from the five. Ohio State always known for excellent kickoff coverage teams. We start over tailback as Hollywood smothers, they fake it to him and swing it in the corner. And the big hit delivers, Relique Brown lost the ball! and ohio state takes it away on the first play and he's able to get off of the block by emmett mosley and make that play to be able to knock that loose you see 25 there this is a true freshman out of pennsylvania they're very high on what he can do not only is he didn't knock it loose he's dealing with the block of mosleyand then knocks it loose and then recovers it play it's beau jackson in the backfield trying to bounce it to the outside and does get around the corner and scoots down inside the tent blew him away testing the middle banging down close is jackson again it's going to be first and goal but what a battle we're going to see tonight power formation jackson again retreats running backwards and he'll be swarmed back at the 13 for a big loss brad spence got there yeah brad spent against ian moore we just brought him up here he is on the outside second year here in austin a transfer from arkansas a couple years ago good job keeping that outside hand free and then he uses his speed to be able to bring down the ball carrier. Second and goal from the 13. Play fake. Sayan pitches it to Mason Williams. Side end gets away from one man and is muscled out at about the eight. It'll be third and goal. First field goal is a Buckeye for Connor Hawkins. He only kicked extra points against Ball State. He smothers. So at 45 yards against Texas state in his very first touch as a longhorn last week in the backfield it's niblet motioning out they hand it to smothers who makes the cut and he gets downfield texas moves the six for the first time now for clay fake manning from the pocket has a lot of time delivers a downfield shot it's cab coleman who couldn't come up with it it's picked off and bounced into the hands of jalen mclean his back landed on the field and a ball popped up in the air sand goes under center and play fake rolls out flips it in the flat and the catch is made by the tight end mason williams gets a block on the edge from smith and bangs out across the 40. instead we were all fixated on watching four block downfield one of the more unselfish superstars i think any of us have ever seen good job by mason-williams so they like to move kind of like an h-back get it to him quickly Give him a chance for yards after the catch and there's big four right there doing a good job there with a block downfield That she's showing pressure against the empty backfield They bring some saying though has protection fires across the middle and Smith makes the catch it holds on After taking a hard hit from Kate Phillips there in Texas territory inside the 40 and they didn't play man-to-man They sat back and played zone hoped that the pressure would be okay and be enough to affect Julian saying but give him a lot of credit along with the offensive line of being patient and to let very surprised they didn't jam him and then run with him there on third down now it's smith again on the left side smith knifing into the secondary played the first half against paul state at eight for 151 and two williams motions in it's jackson with the deep handoff jackson barrels forward picks up about eight as they went right at muschamp's defense that makes florida gators in the backfield say it's like a look at Smith fires to him on the slant makes the catch down inside the 10 slot right for Smith and after Jackson barrels up the middle and is into the end zone touchdown Ohio State take away for the second time this time a long march to the endzone make sure that he did get in the end zone watch this offensive line pushing people off the ball coming on the road hostile environment see if he extends he does he's in the in zone that's a touchdown but give an assist to what's going on up front for arthur smith in the ohio state offense you're making a spectacular play in texas having the ball on the red zone with a chance to take Khalid being down 10-0. There's Brown. Empty backfield. Three receivers to the right. Manning's looking to his left. Stans has plenty of time. Now tries to scramble to the edge. Field is shrinking, and they'll sack him. Nobody to throw to, and he didn't throw it away. And he hangs and hangs, and he's almost conflicted on his decision-making. He has plenty of time, ball has got to come out. Give Ohio State credit, the open man there in the middle he didn't see it so instead of throwing it away or instead of trying to find an answer for a check down he just kind of hangs with that that throughout his progression he's hanging with that one guy first down handoff the bo jackson he'll be hit behind the line by collins simmons and then the heat we've been out there a while sand takes off can he escape yes he'll dive forward saying again has protection long throw smith again makes the catch they can't stop him kade phillips forced him out but they pick up 10 west again downhill they're able to get kind of dirty runs like that seemingly whenever they want what he can absorb and handle especially at the line of scrimmage smith back in for this third down, but they're going to try to get it on the ground with Bo Jackson. And Jackson powers through another first down. Big moment early second quarter here. Power run up the middle. Texas comes up with a stop on Jacoby Jackson that time. A test to the middle one too many times. And Sarkeesian's defense makes a stand. Really good job in the interior. I think it was Alex January who was able to get off of the block. Second and nine. Play clock at three he faked his mother's and arch looks over the middle and delivers caught and that's cam coleman who had that ball bounce out of his hands for interception that time makes the grab first down that's wingo who came all the way across the field in motion they get it to him he's a speedster they want to find ways to get him in space devin sanchez makes the play but they get 16. so second and ten fake it to Brown fire across the middle low pass and going down and grab it is Coleman it's gonna be third and one mid play becomes very important the second and nine Manning looking to the left doesn't throw it and he'll eat it and Kenyatta Jackson the veteran leader of that Ohio State defensive line that's the second sack of Manning yeah he doesn't have an answer He looked over there. He thought he might. He was in Memphis. And in the modern world of college football, it's rent a kicker. And both teams have done it. Picked up two on second down off the play fake. Has plenty of time now. Runs out of it. And he delivers a downfield shot. Smith running free. Goes up and makes a leaping catch in Texas territory. Again, a free release off the line of scrimmage. this is so tough for any defender that's this far off the ball against this. This is where I think he's improved the most. Take it to Jacoby Jackson. Sayan running out of time and he'll be sacked for the first time. Slammed down. Lance Jackson got him. Watch this time. They jam. Switchy edge rushers for the Longhorns. Third and 13, Sayen, far side, caught on the sidelines by Brandon Ennis. From the pocket, running out of time, Sayin slung down by Colin Simmons. Sacked for a second time. And we were just saying at the break if we said Colin Simmons' name much tonight because we thought there could be an advantage. Pretty fast to Oklahoma State. On third and 18, Sayan checks it down. Leaping catch by Bo Jackson. He gets the block, and he'll be brought down well short of the marker. So, a couple of walk-off game winners when he was at Baylor last year. This is a 30-yarder. No problem. Catch up to him and chase him out of bounds. Almost 400 yards rushing. Had a touchdown run in seven different games last year, plate throw to Ryan Wingo who spins freeze in position to add to their lead and around the end Wingo cannot escape a huge tackle does a heck of a job of holding his own back here on the back side Arch in Texas trying to go into the interior fourth and short try to get the defense to squeeze down everybody did except number seven he stays home does exactly what he needs to do. He's a cover guy, right? This would be another chip shot. Sane across the middle. Hands on! Touchdown, Smith! The elite wide receiver in this sport. He backs off. Now you let him build up his momentum and his speed. And look how decisive Julian Sane is. Doesn't wait. Doesn't take that extra hitch. Hits that back foot. Drops the ball right away between the corner and the safety. What guys call themselves wide receiver you for good reason very simple Jackson when it delayed handoff as a crease and Bo Jackson knocked down at the 45 11 more up the middle. Yeah, what he does such a good job of is the patience Watch the defense dictate which way they're gonna go Sets up that block there with the center Carson Hinsman and they have not missed a beat in at least that first half against Texas and Arch. We're having Wingo, long throw, and they're all over it. They cannot get number one free in the perimeter. Devin Sanchez counts third and ten. Pressure comes, saying up his back foot, launches for Smith, who wins the battle for the football at the 30-yard line. A desperation heave, but it always feels high percentage when you target number four. He does a heck of a job just to get this ball off because there was pressure by Canu. Good job of getting the ball up into the air where Jeremiah Smith... In warm-up. A little trickier this direction. Gets it off and drives it right through. Texas comes after it. Takes it away and drives Niblett back to the 10. He muffed it right off the chest. A scramble for it. And Texas somehow avoids a third turnover it was not an easy ball to catch and it hits him right in the face mask it just never had good vision on the ball very very fortunate to get that football back kate phillips a cornerback when the special team's just clawing away cannot believe i want to say couldn't collect that so he's in the game with that two-back look check down Brown makes the catch and he's knocked down those throws behind the line have been a problem Jermaine Matthews has been active and petty John again wow here it is Texas trying to create some magic here Ohio said it's going to take over and they find Winston and the big tight end has just enough throws back against his body to get that conversion play fake down the seam feeding the tight end again winston they found a weapon we're going to drop him some let him use his eyes almost like a linebacker there he did it there on second final minute of the quarter third and eight manning throws a dart and texas another first downfall comes out scramble for it looks like texus may have recovered somehow ohio state for the second time in the last few minutes unable to come up with a fumble look like they're gonna get yeah Cam Coleman is able to come up with that play. And Allegro, who's almost came up with a ball that he knocked out earlier, this time from your left. Smothers to the left of Manning. They fake it to him. Manning throws to the end zone. Caught for a touchdown by Ryan Wingo. ...against Sanchez, but watch this throw. I mean, right on the line. Perfectly placed. Wingo able to secure that for the Horn's first touchdown of the night. It's a great look at it right here. Boy, red zone has been a nightmare. Muggs both the linebackers. Three guys to the right. Manning looks across the middle. And it's complete. Emmitt Mosley holds on in traffic. And the fourth and sixth gamble pays off. 12-yard gain. Held up just enough with Brandon Baker on that right side. 73 to be able to get that ball out to Mosley, who's had a pretty quiet night. Gutsy play call by... The play fake. Manning doesn't see anybody. Now late throw caught down at the 15-yard line. Coleman for 16. Tell you what, Coleman does a really good job of just... Smothers breaks free. No, it's Brown. Brown banging down inside the five. Tight end Winston is lined up as a fullback. Hand off inside and Smothers walks in. And the Horns wore back. It's anybody's game. It's going to be fun to see how they both respond. It's amazing how the tables have turned up front. It's Texas more physical now. Ohio State after back-to-back. Texas bringing some pressure. Sayen. Scrambling. Scanning. launches all the way back across the field and nate roberts the tight end was turned loose somehow say and found him for 24 yards obviously he's not even in this progression give julian say it's so much credit here he's rolling all theway to his right the tight end is over here he'll just kind of leak out he rolls to his right again here here's your time to plan with Sure about back to his old position. He moved right tackle to guard now off the left side Bo Jackson is knocked down behind the line Justin Cryer So it's a homecoming game for him trying to put Ohio State back up nine and he hooked it He can rely on this offensive line in this run game Manning to Mosley found a cushion there fought back and giving themselves a shot here late Plant! Mosley! Still running! Knocked down at the 1! Alignment for Texas in front of Smothers is in the I formation. Has it? And leans! No signal. No touchdown. The clock will continue to run. In the I-formation. He's got it. Dives! Touchdown, Texas! dead even with the PAT to come here's the touchdown again these backs have been fantastic this is Hollywood Smothers kind of fighting goes airborne extends breaks the plan for this touchdown I really feel like this game kind of a microcosm of Arch Manning's career that's it three two one last play desperation he by saying launches into texas territory and it'll be bobbled up in the air and finally intercepted and texans starts from behind is stunned number one
