There are a limitless number of takeaways from the Ohio State Buckeyes‘ 14-7 win over the Texas Longhorns. The Buckeyes have now given themselves arguably the best non-conference win of the season. Texas is clearly going to drop after being picked as the preseason number one by most polls.
Ohio State, despite a new defensive coordinator and some new personnel, still has one of the best, if not the best, defenses in the country. It’s reasonable to ask some tough questions about the play-calling from Steve Sarkisian.

“We’re learning a little better formula for him,” Sarkisian said of Manning after No. 1 Texas lost, 14-7, to No. 2 Ohio State in a game in which the Texas quarterback failed to find a rhythm.
Sarkisian got something else wrong, too, when he said “expectations were out of control, on the outside” for Manning.

Xabi Alonso’s team saw three newcomers make key plays in the victory at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The 20-year-old Huijsen played a part in leveling in the 37th.
If Tennessee Football sent a message with its 45-26 win over Syracuse Saturday afternoon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, transfer defensive back Colton Hood provided the exclamation point for the Vols after the season-opening win.
“I think it just showed all the haters and the doubters out there,” Hood said during his postgame press conference, “we’re still the same Tennessee we was last year. Probably going to be better. We’re going to keep getting better after this game. I think that’s what it showed, for real.
