Texas has to be mindful in coverage because Leavitt will take the advantage throws that Lane Kiffin schemes up on offense.

Sam Leavitt "is a tremendous competitor, I remember that," Sark said when asked what he remembers about facing Leavitt in the Peach Bowl two seasons ago.

"This guy is a tremendous competitor, I will tell you that." "He has no regard for his body and I say that in a kind way" Sarkisian says about LSU QB Sam Leavitt.

Sarkisian: "You got to play a physical brand of football, and you got to be violent. I think our team is really understanding that and then ultimately preparing to execute."

Arch will be surrounded by people built for the moment, Sark said. That should give him confidence.

Why is Arch Manning built for big-time games like the one he'll play on Saturday? "I think Arch definitely rises to the challenges that we're faced with," Sark said. "Part of that is the DNA in our program."

Sark says Arch has it in his DNA to play better in bigger games. "I think Arch definitely rises to the challenges that we are faced with."

Sark thought Kentucky was physical and stayed committed to the run when they rushed for 155 yards against LSU. CJ Baxter went for 123 yards and two touchdowns in that game.

Sarkisian says Trying to create running lanes and being disciplined to fall forward for 3-4-5-6 yard runs is key for Texas running game

Sark says his team is starting to find its way in practice when it comes to these big games they continue to play in. "Tuesday and Wednesday have been as physical of practices as we have had around here."

"I thought Tuesday and Wednesday were as physical of practices as we've had around here and that's what it takes," Sark said.

Sark opens up his press conference by congratulating the women's soccer team on their win over Vanderbilt and run in the SEC Tournament.

24-21 Texas

Sark shoutsout Coach Bates and Texas soccer for their win over Vandy. Advancing to SEC Semis. "Every program is doing great things."

Getting started now.

~^~ Texas 🏈 Longhorns ~^~ 31 to 16 lsu

Should get started in the next 10 minutes or so.

42-10 Texas

Quick passing game, running the ball, and third down conversions will be the key to us winning. And obviously we have to win the turnover battle. Defensive ends have to play with great discipline and not let Leavitt get out of the pocket bc that’s where he can wreck the game. We need to have a similar defensive strategy that we used on Chambliss. I have Texas winning 24-20🤘🏻

Follow along for Sark updates from today's press conference ahead of the LSU game on Saturday!

my favorite paragraph

38-10 Texas

Absolutely not. Nor should LSU believe anything Sark puts in his report either.

Texas - 34 LSU - 24

It was a long time brewing. Everything we tried to do to make the league more profitable they fought us an OU. We tried to start a Big 12 network and were laughed out of the room. Texas and OU tried to prevent them from watering down the league with mid-majors and we got over ruled by the little thinking 12. We tried to go big game hunting to be proactive and get other teams in the Big 12, but were stumped by the little minded idiots in our league that went out and got teams that watered down our product. Then at every turn the league made rulings and decisions that were literally detrimental to OU and Texas. The Big 12 would purposefully do things to diminish Texas and OU and the relationship between us and the rest of the league was very adversarial. The demise of the Big 12 was nothing like what happened to the SWC. The SWC was the SEC back in the day. Then SMU got the death penalty and half the league got hit with massive sanctions. That is when all the Texas kids started leaving the state. The SWC never recovered from the SMU death penalty and sanctions against others like TCU and ATM.
