Texas is able to cover
T’Vondre Sweat, a tackle for the Longhorns, is among the finest in the nation. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 362 pounds, Sweat is a phenomenal athlete who has surpassed career records in tackles (42), solo tackles (17), tackles for loss (eight), sacks (two), and pass breakups (four), in addition to blocking a kick. He has led a team that is third in the nation in red zone conversion % (71.4) and running defense (80.8 yards per game allowed), and second in the nation in third down conversion percentage (26.5).
Quinn Ewers, the quarterback for Texas, just had what may have been his finest game in college. The former five-star recruit completed 35 of 46 passes for a career-high 452 yards and four touchdowns against just one interception in the Big 12 Championship Game thrashing of Oklahoma State. He will take on a vulnerable Washington defense on Monday that ranks 120th in the nation in passing yards allowed per game with 263.2.
Why Washington is able to provide
Running back Dillon Johnson gets off to a strong start. The junior running back from Greenville, Mississippi, has amassed 683 yards of rushes since November 1. This puts him third in the nation, behind only Cody Schrader of Missouri (810) and RJ Harvey of UCF (704). During that period, he has also scored eight touchdowns on the ground, good for sixth place in the nation.
Bralen Trice is another strong pass-rusher for the Huskies. The Phoenix native, who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 275 pounds, leads the team in tackles for loss (8.5), quarterback hurries (14) and sacks (five). He was selected to the first team of the Pac 12 for his season-long achievements.
