The Texas Longhorns defense faces mounting pressure as star Colin Simmons sits out, leaving major questions ahead of their showdown with the Ole Miss Rebels. With the offense struggling—scoring only six third-quarter points since Week 1—can the defense hold the line against Trinidad Chambliss, one of college football’s top quarterbacks, without their key playmaker? Lance and Rasheem Biles must step up as the focus shifts to defensive fundamentals, especially wrapping up ball carriers to prevent game-changing chunk plays. As Kawhi Lacey and Trinidad Chambers loom as serious threats, the outcome may hinge on the Longhorns' ability to execute tackles and reclaim their top ranking. Will Texas rally despite adversity, or will mistakes prove costly in this high-stakes SEC battle? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Defense Under Pressure Without Colin Simmons1:43 – 5:04

M

Madison DavisHost

1:43

Now, talk about pressure.

M

Madison DavisHost

1:45

This defense has been under nothing but pressure since they stepped foot on the field this season.

M

Madison DavisHost

1:51

This season, especially week two when it was time to go against Ohio State.

M

Madison DavisHost

1:57

Man, I'll tell you.

M

Madison DavisHost

1:59

I'll tell you.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:00

This defense is unfair of how much pressure they're under.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:05

And they've constantly been under this amount of pressure.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:06

And they've lived up to it.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:08

They've lived up to it for the most part.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:10

I do feel like that pressure is starting to take a toll on this defense.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:15

And we saw it against Florida.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:18

I do.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:19

I do.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:19

And you guys are like, what the heck is he talking about? I feel like they were doing certain things, right? They were doing certain things on the defensive side of the football that was just uncharacteristic.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:31

They were just doing, and I'm going to get to, trust me, I'm going to get to that in a moment.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:35

But with that, I believe the pressure that they have constantly been under due to the offense's inability to just score, really, to really just score.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:48

I read off the stat to you in the last hit.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:51

We haven't scored.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:52

We have six points since week one.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:54

We've only scored six points in the third quarter.

M

Madison DavisHost

2:58

Imagine what that does for your defense.

M

Madison DavisHost

3:01

Newsflash, it does nothing.

M

Madison DavisHost

3:03

It doesn't help them in the slightest.

M

Madison DavisHost

3:04

If anything, it makes their job harder, which brings what? Pressure.

M

Madison DavisHost

3:10

So, man, and to have to go into this fight, this battle, this weekend without Colin Simmons, that worries me.
