Keys to a Texas win vs. Missouri: Early lead, Explosive offensively
Texas is gearing up for another Top 25 matchup, this time on the road at Missouri . The Tigers are sitting at 6-2 like Texas, coming off a comfortable win over Arkansas. Ahmad Hardy returned to the field last week, adding to an already elite run game but it’s unknown how much he’ll play in this one. Regardless, the Missouri offense presents multiple problems Muschamp and company will have to answer. It’s no different for the Tiger defense, who consistently flashes their elite talent on the front seven. Here are the four keys to the Longhorns winning Saturday and keeping their CFP hopes alive: Jump Out To An Early Lead The two times Roberts has been held under 4.0 yards/carry in SEC play, Missouri lost. The only way to do that is to avoid the run game leaning on your defense. Ole Miss jumping out to an early lead forced Missouri to lean into the passing game, leaving them one-dimensional. Texas has been brilliant in the first quarter and needs to do it again to eliminate a run game that can dominate this game. The Longhorns opening to a 10-0 or 14-0 win could take the single most dangerous piece
