How Texas' defense can use the Texas State game to help prepare for future SEC foes
Summary
-
Texas State's Art Briles-derived offense stresses defenses with very wide receiver splits, extreme tempo and the quarterback as an extra runner, the same broad structure Texas expects later from Tennessee and LSU.
-
Texas State quarterback Brad Jackson enters his sophomore season after passing for 3,224 yards and 21 touchdowns and rushing for 744 yards and 17 scores.
-
Texas linebacker Justin Cryer identified rapid communication and getting aligned against tempo as the defense's two critical Week 1 requirements because one missed assignment can immediately create a touchdown.
-
The opener gives Will Muschamp's revamped Texas defense an early test of how it handles the space and light-box conflicts it will see against dual-threat quarterbacks at Tennessee and LSU.
