The Texas Longhorns are among the most celebrated programs in college football, sporting a widespread (and well-moneyed) collection of fans. Steve Sarkisian's squad is still a major underdog on two fronts in Friday night's College Football Playoff semifinal matchup against Ohio State.

The main areas of weakness on offense are the Ohio State O-line’s ability to handle extra rushers, ranking 78th with a 9.2% blitz down sack rate, and a somewhat elevated 10.2% blown run block rate that checks in at 94th nationally.
