The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Texas Longhorns will meet Friday night in a College Football Playoff semifinal showdown at the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium. The Cotton Bowl matchup is just the fourth-ever meeting between these two titans of the sport — and coincidentally, it’s even a preview of next year’s season opener when Texas visits Ohio Stadium on Aug. 30. Texas and Ohio State played a home-and-home series in 2005 and 2006, with both teams winning on the road. Vince Young's No. 2 Longhorns beat the fourth-ranked Buckeyes 25-22 in September 2005 for the first landmark win on their road to the national championship, while the Buckeyes answered with a 24-7 win one year later in Austin. The schools then met in a thrilling Fiesta Bowl to close the 2008-09 season. Colt McCoy threw a 26-yard TD pass to Quan Cosby with 16 seconds left in Texas' 24-21 win.
