Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons and SEC receiving leader Cayden Lee will face a Texas defense that leads the nation in yards per play, giving the Tigers’ passing attack its toughest test. Donovan Olugbode is also part of the receiving group around Simmons.

Simmons transferred to Missouri after losing the starting job at Ole Miss following an injury. His move paired him with Lee, whose conference-leading receiving production presents a direct challenge for a Texas defense described by Inside Texas as elite.

Missouri has the SEC’s leading receiver and another option in Olugbode, while Texas brings the nation’s top yards-per-play defense.
