COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State has all the talent needed to defeat Texas in their highly anticipated season opener. But history suggests the Buckeyes could be their own worst enemy if they fall into familiar traps of undisciplined play.

In four previous matchups against Texas, the Buckeyes have accumulated 32 penalties for 275 yards – an average of 8 penalties for 68.75 yards per game. This pattern of undisciplined play has repeatedly undermined Ohio State’s chances against the Longhorns.
