Ohio State's Jay Timmons forces fumble on 1st play vs Texas
Ohio State football freshman Jay Timmons has made a near-immediate impact in the Ohio State-Texas game.
On the first play of Texas' opening offensive drive, the true freshman tackled Longhorns running back Raleek Brown behind the line of scrimmage and punched the ball free. Timmons then recovered Brown's fumble, giving Ohio State a takeaway and the ball at Texas' 17-yard line.

Timmons lost his black stripe after the sixth day of preseason camp and started last week for Ohio State in the season opener against Ball State.
Ohio State scored a field goal after the takeaway, taking an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter.
