The Texas Longhorns' offensive line has struggled to protect the quarterback this season, surrendering a high number of sacks. That vulnerability could play into the hands of the Missouri Tigers' pass rush when the two teams meet.
Missouri's defensive front has shown an ability to generate pressure, and the matchup against a Texas offense that has allowed frequent quarterback takedowns presents an opportunity for the Tigers to disrupt the Longhorns' passing game.
The game, scheduled for early November, will test whether Texas can shore up its protection or if Missouri's pass rushers can capitalize on the Longhorns' weakness.
