After fumbling a chance to control the conference championship race, the Texas Longhorns now face a must-win game against the Kansas Jayhawks in order to keep their goals alive.
With their chances for Arlington fading fast and KU quarterback Jalon Daniels reportedly aiming for a return this week, the Texas defense will once again have to play elite defense against an unconventional offense. The shotgun, triple-option approach of the Jayhawks requires playing sound on defense and ensuring you focus on your assignment, rather than trying to be a solo playmaker.
Offensively, the Longhorns need some solo playmakers to step up, after Quinn Ewers struggled over the last three contests, in which Texas went 1-2.
