Kewan Lacy goes home to Texas on Saturday behind an offense that has scored on all 24 of its red-zone trips this season. That is the number Texas has no answer for. The red zone: Ole Miss is 24-for-24 inside the 20, with 21 touchdowns and three field goals - the school's own cumulative statistics. The run game underneath it: 923 rushing yards, 153.8 a game. The Missouri game produced 257, the season high, the third straight game over 125 and the first 200-yard rushing game since Florida in 2025. Lacy has five touchdowns in five games and 29 since the start of last season. He is from Lancaster, Texas, and he wanted to sign with the Longhorns. The honest counterweight: he has played five of six games for 352 yards, which is not a workhorse number. He has been managed all season. Second segment - the middle eight. Texas led Oklahoma 17-7 at halftime and lost by three. Texas went up 17-3 on Florida in the second quarter, led 17-10 at the break, and lost by three. Twice this season Texas has been ahead at halftime of a game it lost by a field goal. Survive the first 20 minutes, then take the middle eight. It might even be an argument for deferring. The counterweight there: Texas beat the No. 1 team in the country in this building. But a pattern that shows up twice in five weeks is not an accident. Does Ole Miss defer? Comments.
