Texas prepares for Texas State before upcoming Ohio State matchup

The Texas Longhorns prepare for their season opener against Texas State, focusing on containing quarterback Brad Jackson. Coach Steve Sarkisian noted Jackson’s dual-threat ability to impact the game through both passing and rushing. Longhorns defensive players emphasize the need for assignment discipline and aggressive pressure to limit the Bobcats' high-paced offense. While Texas enters the game as a significant favorite, the matchup serves as a dress rehearsal for a high-profile Week 2 game against Ohio State. The Texas defense, currently under the direction of Will Muschamp, aims to maintain the team's historical success in limiting opposing quarterbacks during season openers.
