Texas Rallies Past Ohio State, Takes No. 1 Ranking

Texas rallied from a 23-3 deficit with 21 fourth-quarter points to defeat No. 1 Ohio State 24-23 in Austin and move to No. 1 in the AP Poll. Arch Manning overcame a difficult start, while Texas’ rushing attack and defensive pressure on Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin helped secure the victory and eased questions about coach Steve Sarkisian’s record in high-stakes games. Oregon lost 39-31 at Oklahoma State, then scheduled a Sept. 18 game against Portland State before opening Big Ten play at No. 11 USC on Sept. 26. No. 2 Georgia’s Sept. 26 SEC game at Oklahoma is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC or ESPN, with the network assignment to be determined. North Texas opened Neal Brown’s tenure with a 44-6 victory over UNLV.
