197 Teams Had This Lead. Ryan Day Is The First To Lose It.

What was shaping up to be one of Ohio State's most dominant wins of the season turned into the most historic collapse in modern college football history. Ohio State led Texas by 20 points in the fourth quarter Saturday night, a spot AP No. 1-ranked teams had gone a perfect 197-0 in since 2004. The Buckeyes had personally won 115 straight games when holding a 20-point lead, the sixth-longest active streak in the FBS. Then it all fell apart — Texas ripped off three straight fourth-quarter touchdown drives, Ohio State turned conservative on offense, the defense couldn't get off the field in the Austin heat, and Arch Manning delivered a signature legacy-defining drive to steal a 24-23 win. "I can't really sit here and tell you exactly why that happened," Day admitted afterward. "We all have to take accountability, and we have to get this thing fixed." In this video, we break down exactly how this historic meltdown happened, the key coaching decisions that will be second-guessed for years, and what it means for Ohio State's national championship hopes. 🔥 In this video: ✅ How Ohio State became the first-ever No. 1 team to blow a 20-point 4th quarter lead ✅ Breaking down Texas' three-touchdown fourth-quarter comeback ✅ The controversial goal-line decision that will be debated all season ✅ Ryan Day's full postgame comments and explanation ✅ What this means for Ohio State's playoff outlook ✅ Is this a pattern for Ryan Day in big games?
