Texas Defense vs Smith's Rise | Texas Longhorns Football News

Texas Longhorns face a massive test against Ohio State’s elite receiver Jeremiah Smith, who’s primed for an NFL draft spotlight. Last year’s freshman Graceson Littleton held him in check—can he do it again? With a new aggressive defensive coordinator and a roster full of talent, Texas has options: Kade Phillips shines, Bo Mascoe brings experience, but Littleton’s proven track record makes him the likely choice. Still, shutting down Smith means more than one cornerback—safety Kobe Black may be key to deep coverage. But beware: Ohio State’s wideouts are deep, so over-focusing on Smith could leave others open. This is going to be a chess match on the field. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
