Texas’ offensive line vs West Virginia’s defensive line
Texas’ offensive line, mainly the right side with Christian Jones at right tackle and Denzel Okafor at right guard, has been rather suspect this season. While the left side, anchored by Samuel Cosmi, has been better, quarterback Sam Ehlinger has not had as good of pass protection in 2020.
Match that up with West Virginia’s defensive line and the Longhorns are going to be in for a long day. The Stills brothers, Dante and Darius, have been two of the Mountaineers’ best defensive players on the line. Between them, the Stills have 12.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks

West Virginia has been even better against the run, only giving up 2.9 yards per carry through six games. Whoever is out there at running back whether it be Roschon Johnson or Bijan Robinson, they are going to be met early and often.
It is going to be a stressful day protecting Texas’ skill position players upfront. If West Virginia is able to consistently get pressure, the Longhorns are going to be in for another long day on offense.
