The Buckeyes will now face the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl on January 10th, and there’s no doubt that millions will be tuning in for that battle as well.
Ohio State already draws a crowd just by its brand recognition, and now with it playing at a scorching-hot level, it might be even more of a must-watch game, especially as it faces former Buckeyes quarterback Quinn Ewers.
Let’s hope that the same Ohio State team comes to play on Friday.
