Texas faces Missouri with rushing attack concerns ahead of matchup

Texas prepares to take on Missouri on Saturday amidst ongoing struggles in their rushing game. The Longhorns have failed to secure even 100 rushing yards in 11 of their last 25 games and lost key running back Hollywood Smothers to injury. Arch Manning's performance may be pivotal, but the offensive line has exhibited weaknesses throughout the season. If Texas aims to secure a postseason berth, they may need to win at least three of their next four games, placing added pressure on head coach Steve Sarkisian to develop a balanced offensive strategy. A successful gameplan may involve more screen passes and quick throws to counter Missouri's strong defense, which allows only 98 rushing yards per game.
