    Can the Longhorns Build on Back-to-Back Wins as They Hit the Road?

    Mack Brown, Vince Young and Bob Ballou break down Texas' dominant defensive performance against Mississippi State, the key to keeping Arch Manning clean and Saturday's pivotal road test against Missouri. They start by discussing Maraad Watson's scoop-and-score touchdown against the Bulldogs, what the play represented for the Texas defense and why Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns must continue taking care of business to keep their College Football Playoff fate in their own hands. Then, they analyze Arch Manning's performance against Mississippi State, how the Longhorns can better protect him after the Bulldogs sacked him five times and why Texas is having more success on scripted opening drives than on unscripted drives. They wrap up the show by previewing Texas vs Missouri in Columbia. How should the Longhorns handle the early kickoff? Can they shut down Missouri's potent rushing attack? And what must they do to beat the Tigers? What will Texas' record be over its final four games?
