Shoring up pass defense is critical to the Longhorns 1st SEC season

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A big knock against the Texas Longhorns last year was their pass defense. They ranked No. 116 in FBS allowing more than 254 yards per game and were torched through the air by Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix, Jr., for 430 yards in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

The defense is on a mission this season to not let another quarterback light them up like that again.
