The Buckeyes are the defending national champions. However, Ohio State coach Ryan Day has thrown caution to the wind ahead of facing Steve Sarkisian's Texas.

Day also recently recalled Ohio State's win over Texas in the College Football Playoff last season.

"I think when you look back on that game, those penalties really hurt us," Day said, via Eleven Warriors. "They set us way behind the sticks. And we have to play better football than that. They're a very disciplined team, and we have to do a better job than we did in that game."

Texas will start Arch Manning as its quarterback, while Julian Sayin will lead the offense for Ohio State in Week 1.
