Texas Prepares for Ohio State Clash After Dominant Win

Texas started its season with authority, crushing Texas State 59-7 in front of over 100,000 enthusiastic fans. This match also marked the debut of Cam Coleman, a promising sophomore wide receiver who transferred to Texas. Coleman impressed with 70 yards and two touchdowns from only three receptions, including a 44-yard play connecting with Arch Manning. He showcased exceptional red-zone performance and has established great rapport with Manning.

The upcoming challenge for Texas is facing Ohio State on Saturday night at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. Coleman expressed confidence about the confrontation, stating, “We’re coming. We’re coming,” in anticipation of facing the Buckeyes’ defense.

News Update: Paul Finebaum has issued a warning to Arch Manning ahead of the Ohio State game.

Coleman was a top-rated transfer in the 2026 college football cycle, after notable beginnings at Auburn. In 2024, he secured 598 yards and eight touchdowns from 37 catches, averaging 16.2 yards per catch and was honored on the SEC All-Freshman Team. The following year, his record included 708 yards and five touchdowns from 56 catches, averaging 12.6 yards per catch.

Signs are promising for Coleman to exceed previous performances, with the support of Manning, who appears to have honed his skills further. Manning’s stats against Texas State were 20 of 27 for 305 yards and four touchdowns, despite one interception. Junior receiver Ryan Wingo also contributed significantly with 121 yards and a touchdown from seven catches.
