As always, we'll give analysis along with the tiered rankings (now updated through the Baylor game) which are derived via a proprietary scoring formula, and based on the following advanced charting statistics (please note the distinctions in how tackles, etc. are counted and why these stats will always differ from the official university stats):

Defensive Snap Counts By Week and Percentage of Total Defensive Snaps Played Through WVU:
Defensive Productivity Market-Share Percentages and Snaps per Production Caused Metrics Through WVU (snaps per disruption caused is colored coded from blue/best to white/median to red/worst):
Missed Tackles - Only 7 versus WVU
CB Josh Thompson - 2
DB Chris Adimora - 2
DT Alfred Collins - 1
LB Joseph Ossai - 1
LB Juwan Mitchell - 1
Quick Thoughts:
Only 7 missed tackles
In a generally good game for the Texas defense, one thing that many fans may have sort of noticed unconsciously is that the tackling was very solid. In fact, it was the fewest of the season at 7. Even versus UTEP, the team whiffed 11 times. The defense has looked, as a whole, to be more sure tacklers over the last few games, and it's gotta be a testament to something Tom Herman promised weeks ago after a few missed-tackles debacles: that if any coach in football would get that fixed, it was Chris Ash. At the time, it was met with eyerolls, but in this case, Herman's promise of getting an aspect of the team "fixed" appears to have been one that was actually kept.
T'Vondre Sweat joins the circle of trust
Ketch asked on the most recent OB Modcast which players we truly "trust" on the Texas defense and our answer was four: Joseph Ossai, Chris Brown, Keondre Coburn and, recently, Juwan Mitchell if we're only considering the last few games Mitchell has played and projecting that forward. In a similar fashion, we'd like to welcome T'Vondre Sweat into the circle of trust. He was the most effective player on the defense in one of the unit's best games having to step into extra duty once Keondre Coburn went down.
As you can see, having played almost 2/3 of the snaps Saturday, it was by far Sweat's biggest sample of playing time all season, and only the second time he'd eclipsed the 50% mark. Given that volume of snaps, he actually leapfrogged Keondre Coburn in the rankings, thanks to a wildly efficient game, where in addition to his points for pure tackles, he also added on 1 QB hit, 2 separate pressures, 1 TFL, 2 (two) batted passes and two key run-stuffs. He's a giant and a baller. We have set aside a plus-sized branch in the trust tree just for him. If Keondre Coburn must miss time, Sweat is an excellent insurance policy who brings standalone value far greater than just that.
Moro Ojomo embracing his strengths
Ojomo can't bend the edge and convert speed to power in his pass rush to save his life, so he finally started embracing the bull-rush during the WVU game and it paid off in spades. Who would have thought ... line the guy up wide, tell him to punch the tackle under the chin strap, straighten out that inside arm, and dog-walk the tackle backwards right into the QB? Ojomo not only had the sack, he also had two separate pressures and one QB hit that did not stand because he was called for a penalty having gone low. Still, it was the most active he's been in a game from the pass-rush perspective and something ... finally ... appears to be clicking.
David Gbenda cracking into Overshown's snaps?
Overshown is the player the Longhorns take off the field the least often of any, so it was interesting to see Gbenda working in at the will linebacker spot in this game during key possessions. We generally like to complain about these kinds of things, but we really can't in this situation. Gbenda is actually good. He's only played 43 snaps on the season, but, as you can see in the rankings sheet above, and based on that small sample, he's one of the more efficient per-snap producers on the defense.
Onward to the offense, back to the basement.
