Seeing Texas kicker Bert Auburn step out onto the field in some of the College Football Playoff’s most critical moments comes as no surprise to Flower Mound coach Brian Basil. The Dallas-Fort Worth native did the same when he was on his roster a few years ago.

The Buckeyes enter the matchup as the 6-point favorite over the Longhorns although Texas is the higher ranked team in the playoff. That point spread feels fair considering Ohio State looks to be the hottest team in the playoff and Texas struggled to defeat Arizona State in double-overtime last week.
