a key player on the Husky line, is a one-man wrecking crew that the offensive line needs to contain……….

The Texas Longhorns’ victory depends on protecting quarterback Quinn Ewers from Washington’s pass rush.

The Texas Longhorns are set to face the Washington Huskies in their first-ever College Football Playoff appearance. The Huskies, who defeated Texas 27-20 in the Alamo Bowl in 2022, are looking to get the best of them this year. The focus is on the quarterbacks and elite pass catchers, but there is also an intriguing battle in the trenches.

Washington is not known for being one of the most prolific pass-rushing groups in the country.

The Texas Husky team ranks No. 120 in the country in total sacks with 19 on the year, the worst in the Pac-12. Bralen Trice, a key player on the Husky line, is a one-man wrecking crew that the offensive line needs to contain. With a pass-rushing grade of 88.8, Trice is constantly in the backfield, putting pressure on quarterbacks and putting pressure on the quarterback. The second-highest graded player has a 78.3 pass-rushing grade.

Quinn Ewers has six sacks and 49 quarterback hurries, making him 32 more than the next player. The unit has been effective in stopping the run, allowing only 133 yards rushing per game, ranking as the No. 38 team in the country. If Texas can take away Texas’ run game, it will put pressure on Ewers to make the right throws and capitalize on big plays.
