Episode Details

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas State’s explosive offense presents a dangerous opening test for Will Muschamp’s new Texas defense. Dual-threat quarterback Brad Jackson returns after rushing for 17 touchdowns, while 1,000-yard receivers Beau Sparks and Chris Dawn Jr. headline a unit that combines elite tempo, extreme spacing and one of the nation’s biggest offensive lines.

The guys break down what Texas must do to survive the Bobcats’ pace, from communicating and rotating defenders in the heat to maintaining gap discipline and tackling Jackson in space. They also examine the risks within Muschamp’s aggressive scheme, the challenge facing Texas’ secondary and why this matchup could provide a valuable preview of what awaits against Ohio State, LSU and Tennessee.
