The No. 4 Texas Longhorns are hosting the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes in a massive Week 2 blockbuster. Both rosters are stacked with stars and are being led by ultra-talented head coaches in Steve Sarkisian and Ryan Day. During Saturday morning’s broadcast of “College GameDay,” Sarkisian gave Day and the Buckeyes their flowers ahead of the highly anticipated matchup.
Texas’ 52-year-old head coach praised Day and Ohio State for being one of college football’s best teams in the nation. He admitted that the Buckeyes would be competitive no matter what conference they played in, but stated he and his Longhorns are ready for the Week 2 challenge.
“Well, I know this much. What Ryan Day has done and what Ohio State has done for decades, I don’t care what conference they’re in, they’d be good in any conference,” Sarkisian said. “So it’s hard for me to evaluate the totality of the conferences. I know, having played these guys over the years — we played them for a national title at Bama in 2020, now this is our third time playing them (at Texas) in 16 months.

“They’ve got great talent. They’ve got great schemes. They’ve got really good coaches,” Sarkisian continued. “They’re used to being in this arena, too. Playing these guys, you have to play a complete game. It’s not about one side of the ball or the other or just special teams. You better be ready to play. You better be ready to execute at the highest level at the most critical moments of the ball game.”
Steve Sarkisian is 0-2 to Ryan Day in their previous two matchups. Saturday’s game is an opportunity for Texas to get back in the win column against a tough Ohio State team. This contest is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. EST in college football’s primetime slot.
