No. 19 Texas football upset by unranked Ohio State in Las Vegas

Longhorns fall to 0-2 for first time since 1998

The No. 19 Texas Longhorns football team suffered an upset loss on Saturday, falling 24-21 to the unranked Ohio State Buckeyes in Las Vegas.

Ohio State, the last remaining unbeaten Power Five team, took an early lead and never trailed. Texas struggled to move the ball on offense and committed several costly penalties.

Texas dropped to 0-2 for the first time since 1988, but the Longhorns still have a chance to turn things around. They will host No. 1 Alabama next week in a game that will be a major test.

What went wrong for Texas?

There were a number of factors that contributed to Texas' loss to Ohio State, including:

Poor offensive line play: The Longhorns' offensive line was unable to create running lanes for Bijan Robinson and protect quarterback Quinn Ewers.
Penalties: Texas committed 10 penalties for 80 yards, which gave Ohio State good field position and cost the Longhorns valuable yards.
Lack of execution: Texas made several mistakes in key moments, such as dropping passes and missing tackles.

How do the Longhorns fix it?

In order to turn things around, Texas will need to improve in a number of areas, including:

Offensive line play: The Longhorns need to find a way to get their running game going and protect Ewers better.
Penalties: Texas needs to clean up their play and avoid making mistakes that give their opponents easy yards.
Execution: The Longhorns need to be more efficient on offense and defense and execute better in key moments.

What's next for Texas?

Texas will host No. 1 Alabama next week in a game that will be a major test for the Longhorns. Alabama is the defending national champion and one of the best teams in the country.

If Texas can upset Alabama, it will give them a much-needed boost of confidence and send a message that they are still a contender in the Big 12. However, if the Longhorns lose, it will be a major setback and make it difficult for them to reach their goals this season.
