Texas linebacker Anthony Hill, after being listed as questionable all week leading up to the game against Texas A&M, has officially been ruled out for the Lone Star Showdown. Hill, a former five-star that Texas flipped from A&M thanks to Jimbo Fisher's decline, is one of the top defenders on the Longhorn defense, so this is a big blow to a unit that already had its work cut out for it.
The thing that makes this worse for the Longhorns is that their backup, Ty'Anthony Smith (another Aggie flip, as it happens), is unable to play in the first half after a targeting ejection in the second half of last week's game against Arkansas.
