Missouri seeks to improve pass rush against Texas offense in upcoming matchup

Missouri's defense aims to reignite its pass rush against Texas this weekend after struggling in recent games. The Tigers have recorded only one sack in the past two contests, falling to 11th in the SEC in total sacks. Defensive ends Daeden Hopkins and Donta Simpson, previously top performers, have seen a drop in their production. The Texas offensive line has allowed 24 sacks this season, providing Missouri with a potential opportunity to regain its defensive edge. Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz believes a strategic approach is needed to pressure quarterback Arch Manning effectively.
