Texas handled Mississippi State 31-3 on Halloween night in Austin, and the defense was the story. The Longhorns held the Bulldogs to a single field goal, lived in the backfield all night, and put points on the board with a huge scoop and score.
Fozzy Whittaker, Jeremy Hills, Mark Higgins and Nick Shuley react live and break down everything that happened: the defensive dominance, the scoop and score that flipped the game, Arch Manning and the offense, and what this win means for Texas moving to 6-2 (3-2 SEC) heading into November.
