As week 8 of the college football season approaches, Longhorns star Rasheem Biles is making headlines. The talented linebacker earned Bednarik Award Player of the Week honors for his performance Saturday against Mississippi State. He is the second Longhorn to earn weekly Bednarik Award honors, joining Colin Simmons, who claimed the same honor on Sept. 29.
In the Longhorns’ latest SEC clash, Biles had eight tackles and three sacks for 26 yards lost. He also added four tackles for a loss to his resume and continued to elevate his game as Texas was missing one of the best pass rushers in the country, Colin Simmons.
With Biles in elite form, Texas limited the Bulldogs to just 187 yards of total offense, 2.8 yards per play, and three points. Mississippi State finished the game with only 68 yards on the ground and 119 yards in the air. Coming into the game, the Bulldogs had averaged 439.1 yards per game and 6.3 yards per play.
