The Texas Longhorns are one win away from an 11-win season, but their upcoming matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders is causing concerns. Despite Texas Tech's underwhelming season, their ability to exploit the Longhorns' pass defense through slants and in-breaking routes is worrisome. Last year, the Raiders scored 34 points against Texas using this strategy. The Longhorns' outside-leverage coverage has drawn criticism, and their pass defense has allowed 300 passing yards in four out of the last five games. To avoid another close battle, Texas needs to better protect the middle of the field in the passing game.
