Analyzing the Texas defense: Fast and disciplined, but there's a path for Michigan

The Michigan Wolverines are either being overlooked or labeled properly heading into their showdown with Texas on Saturday night, and anyone who claims to know which of the two options is correct is merely projecting. The fact is, we have no idea what this team is yet, especially on the offensive side of the ball. A game with a preseason national title contender is the type of pressure cooker that could provide some early answers, even if 10 regular season games follow it. Michigan closed strong in its 30-10 win over Fresno State with an impressive "gotta have it" drive down the stretch. That serves as something to bottle and hang their hats on heading into a game where the performances have to be much better across the board. But to know what Michigan's outlook might be means knowing a little more about what Texas brings to the table on defense. After a film review of their season-opening 52-0 win over Colorado State, there are a few takeaways to be had.
