Texas prepares to host Ole Miss with key injuries to edge rushers

The Texas Longhorns will face No. 7 Ole Miss on Saturday without junior edge rusher Colin Simmons, who is doubtful due to an ankle injury, and true freshman Richard Wesley, who is out for the season. Simmons leads college football with 10½ sacks, making his absence significant as Texas seeks to end a two-game losing streak. The Longhorns will rely on Lance Jackson and Zina Umeozulu to step up against Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who has thrown for 14 touchdowns this season and averaged 279 yards per game. Coach Steve Sarkisian emphasizes the need for good rush lanes to contain Chambliss, who is known for his ability to extend plays.
