"We train for speed, power and explosiveness," Sark said.

If you think about how Archie Manning played the game, Sark said, that's what Arch brings to the table. They need to find the right balance of when to take advantage of Arch's athleticism, mainly doing it on third down and in the red zone.

Sark loves that Texas can go into "talent-rich areas" like Florida, Georgia and Louisiana and get players who can help Texas compete for a championship.

Sark said the move to the SEC has helped the Texas staff because "it's natural for those kids to want to come to Texas," he said, speaking of the talent along the I-10 corridor going through Louisiana and into the southeast.

"I own it as a play-caller, but then as a head coach, too," he said. "I don't have many people to be mad at outside of myself because that's my job, to get them to execute."

Sark is asked about the goal-line series against Ohio State. He said he evaluates every play-call of every game by himself and with the staff.

Sark believes the Texas offensive line is "as talented as anybody else's in the country."

Sark said the Longhorns are fortunate that Trevor Goosby got some quality snaps last year.

Sark corrected someone who asked a question about the offensive line, noting that the Longhorns are inexperienced, not young.

Sark is talking about the A&M game. "There's nothing like going on the road and singing 'The Eyes of Texas' after a win," he said.

Sark said everyone needs to let Arch have fun and enjoy being the quarterback at Texas. "I hope he can have an opportunity to enjoy it and enjoy it the right way."

Sark: "I hope it's a no-brainer to come back to school, if you know what I mean."

Sark is asked whether he has a feel for how long Arch will be at Texas. "I hope he's got a really hard decision to make around Jan. 21," he said.

Sark believes the Dolphins "are a great fit" for Ewers. Now, "it's all about what he's going to do with that opportunity."

"Injuries, I think, are unfortunate in his career," Sark said.

Sark is asked about Quinn's draft position. He was surprised where Quinn went.

Sark is now taking questions from the audience.

Sark credits the players for understanding that putting team success above everything else will lead to individual accolades.

Sark: "It's crazy to think, from a player's standpoint, who you are some of the time is who you are all of the time."

Sark is going over the correlation between the team GPA and the on-field success Texas has enjoyed. He's mentioned that a lot this offseason.

Sark said he promised Texas would play a brand of football Longhorn fans would be proud of, but he added, "We've got to go win a national championship."

Sark: "I think we have all the right ingredients. Now we have to go bake the cake."

Sark: "It's going to take all three phases to go win a national championship."

They're looking for the "big play element" in the passing game.

Getting CJ Baxter back will help Texas get back to running the football the way they want, Sark said.
