Three sacks. A forced fumble. And a 61-yard touchdown return. That's one heck of an afternoon for Rasheem Biles.
Texas beat Mississippi State 31-3, but Biles deserves plenty of the credit for making life miserable for the Bulldogs. His performance wasn't simply about getting to the quarterback. He helped create the kind of defensive chaos that can completely destroy an opponent's game plan.
The forced fumble that Maraad Watson returned 61 yards for a touchdown was particularly damaging. Mississippi State had enough problems trying to move the ball without handing Texas points on a silver platter.
Here's another detail worth paying attention to. Texas has held all five of its SEC opponents to their season-low yards per play. That's a remarkable defensive trend, especially in a conference where offenses can make even good defenses look ordinary.
But I have a question. How do you attack a defense that keeps taking away your favorite options?
You could try to establish the running game, use quick passes or spread the defense out. Trouble is, Texas seems comfortable making opponents play its kind of football.
If you were calling the plays against Texas, where would you look for a weakness?
