With Vince Young starting for Texas, the Buckeyes face a Heisman trophy candidate with a strong and accurate arm and tremendous foot speed. I'll admit, Young is a machine.
TE David Thomas (Texas) has 12 career touchdown receptions. And freshman or not, RB Jamaal Charles ran with 135 yards in the Texas opener.
Texas has no fear when it comes to large crowds and big stadiums as proven with their track record of victories in 21 of 22 of their last games at opponents' home games.
The Buckeyes have won 22 of their last 23 home games and is 33-4 all time against the Big 12. But does this boost their confidence? Are previous stats enough to crush the motivation of the Longhorns? I'm hoping so, but probably not.
But Tressel has been challenged before and brought home the championship to the masses of Buckeye fans. Regardless if it is just the beginning of the season, the Buckeyes need to win this game.
