Texas Longhorns linebackers Rasheem Biles and Justin Cryer played every defensive snap in the team's recent game against Ole Miss and may be called upon for a similar workload in the upcoming matchup against Mississippi State. With the Longhorns' College Football Playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the game against the Bulldogs is considered a must-win to keep their postseason aspirations alive.
The heavy reliance on Biles and Cryer against Ole Miss underscores the defensive intensity required to navigate the remainder of the schedule. Texas enters the contest needing a victory to remain in the CFP conversation after a challenging stretch.
