Julian Sayin and Arch Manning both developed their games since the last OSU-Texas meeting. What to expect from the two QBs this upcoming matchup.

Julian Sayin is one of college football’s biggest stars, but the Ohio State QB carries himself like just any other college kid.

College football didn't make fans wait long for a game with national championship implications. No. 1 Ohio State travels to Austin on Saturday night for a showdown with No. 4 Texas that could eventually serve as a College Football Playoff preview.

The top-ranked team in the nation relied on its star trio of returning starters.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Julian Sayin's main focus during Ohio State's fall camp last year was on winning the starting quarterback job. This season, there's no doubt on who is commanding the huddle. Sayin was elected as one of Ohio State's seven team captains while teammates have noticed a more confident and vocal Sayin as the top-ranked Buckeyes prepare to host Ball State in their season opener on Sept.

When NFL decision-makers sit down to evaluate prospects, they will focus on tapes of games against quality competition. And a marquee matchup such as Saturday’s clash between Ohio State and Texas will be viewed repeatedly throughout the draft process because of the vast talent on the field.

The blockbuster rematch could very well set the narrative for both players and teams for the rest of the season.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Julian Sayin was standing on Ohio State’s sideline, his helmet nowhere in sight as the junior quarterback watched his team close out a 56-3 win Saturday against Ball State. His time competing for starting jobs at the collegiate level is over.
