It's finally here. The Cotton Bowl is this evening. The Ohio State football team has been waiting ten days to get to this point. Ever since beating down Oregon in the Rose Bowl, their attention has been focused on the Texas Longhorns. They have been game-planning to continue their dominant play.
For a team that has been devastated by some key injuries, the Buckeyes are coming into this clash with Texas they will be relatively healthy tonight. In fact, the only guys out for Ohio State are the ones who have had season-ending injuries prior to this game. Everyone else is good to go.
Texas got some good news on the injury front as well when it was revealed that tackle Cameron Williams will be able to play. He is their starting right tackle, so it's good for the Longhorns that he is good to go. With how well the Ohio State Buckeyes have played up front on the defensive line, they're going to need it.
The Ohio State football team will be healthy vs. Texas
With the Buckeyes getting a clean bill of health, they should be able to execute their offense without any issues. Will Howard has been dealing during the CFP so far, and he wants to keep that up. Texas' defense is still really good, so it may not be as easy as it was against Tennessee and Oregon.
Ohio State enters this game extremely confident, as they should be. Texas enters this game as an underdog. Both sides have the motivation to win this game. Ohio State wants to show that everyone was wrong about Ryan Day. Texas wants to show the world that they don't deserve to be the underdog.
It should be a great game in Dallas. The weather will be cold outside, but the game will be hot inside.
