Texas Longhorns vs West Virginia: Game grades from the 17-13 win

Following the Texas Longhorns win over the West Virginia Mountaineers, we are handing out grades in the virtual report card.

Defensive Line

Grade: B+

The defensive line didn’t budge when it came to the Mountaineers run game on Saturday. They ran the ball 26 times for an average of 1.7 yards per rush. Leddie Brown, their leading rusher, managed just 47 yards on 15 attempts. He averaged 115.7 yards per game and hadn’t be held to under 75 yards all season.

Joseph Ossai didn’t have the same level of impact as the Oklahoma State game but he made his presence felt. He would finish with three tackles, including a tackle for loss. His relentless motor and attention he demands, helps out the entire unit up front.

The Longhorns lost Keondre Coburn early on in the game but T’Vondre Sweat filled in nicely. He accounted for four tackles, one TFL and a pass break up at the line. Moro Ojomo got to the quarterback for the line’s only sack of the game. They were able to make life a little harder on quarterback Jarret Doege on Saturday.
