Texas vs. Tennessee Prediction

The No. 1 team in the nation — the Texas Longhorns — will look to escape one of the loudest environments in college football when they take the field at Neyland Stadium to face Tennessee.

Texas earned the right to be the top team in the nation after a massive fourth-quarter comeback in Week 2 against Ohio State. The Horns' defense dominated UTSA, setting up the first conference game of the season.

New defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has improved the Longhorns in a few key areas. The 3-3-5 personnel has helped them rank among the top 30 in FBS in tackle grading, per PFF, with particular success against rush explosives.

Texas has been fantastic against teams looking to create chunk plays, allowing only two plays from scrimmage to exceed 20 yards this season.

The defense has had trouble creating a pass rush, as no defender has more than four pressures outside of interior talent Lance Jackson and edge rusher Colin Simmons.

Texas fans will be biting their nails in anticipation of Simmons' availability after he was on the sidelines of the UTSA game in a walking boot.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian has wrinkles to iron out on the offensive side of the ball, as Texas is outside the top 100 in havoc allowed and EPA.

The Longhorns have had consistent struggles creating explosive plays on the ground despite the additions of running backs Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers.

Each rusher has created just two attempts over 15 yards, while Brown has a low 2.1 yards after first contact.

The offensive line has failed to control the trench, ranking outside the top 90 in line yards and stuff rate.

The best news of the season — other than the victory over Ohio State — is the offense's ability to generate points in scoring position. In 21 offensive drives that have crossed the opponent's 40-yard line, Texas is averaging 5.1 points per trip.
