The Longhorns battled closely with Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, seeing some late plays swing the momentum in the Buckeyes’ favor.

That wouldn’t be a big deal, but Ohio State and Texas are slated to face each other on Friday night at the Cotton Bowl, which will be played at the very much domed AT&T Stadium.
