Texas Has a CHAMPIONSHIP Defense — But 1 Thing Could Ruin It

Bobby Burton and Rod Babers evaluate whether Texas’ dominant defense is already capable of carrying the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff and a national championship. Will Muschamp’s unit has produced a signature performance every week, from shutting down Ohio State and Texas State to holding UTSA without a touchdown and recording 10 sacks at Tennessee. But without more help from the offense, could the defense eventually break against the SEC’s most explosive teams?

The guys also preview a loaded bye-week slate featuring Alabama–Mississippi State, Florida–Missouri, Tennessee–Auburn and Texas A&M–Arkansas. Plus, they examine three massive national point spreads involving Ohio State at Iowa, Notre Dame at North Carolina and Miami at Clemson—and debate whether the oddsmakers are disrespecting some of college football’s proudest programs.
